Being a bit of a neat freak, I’ll admit it’s always been hard for me to relate to people who keep 100+ tabs open.

For a while, if I wanted to save a site, I would do the work of managing a bookmark list. Then I got lazy and just started to put everything in Safari’s reading list. Eventually, that turned into a huge unorganized pile where articles I wanted to read, things I wanted to buy, and good looking recipes would get shoved into and then basically never seen again. Not much better than just leaving them open as tabs.

Earlier this year, I started wondering what it would look like to make saving tabs neat and effortless. That became Cubby: a sort of Marie Kondo for your tabs.

Starting with iOS, Cubby lets you save tabs from any browser, automatically categorizes them, and keeps everything organized in a simple, clean interface ready for you to find them quickly. It’s live on the App Store now: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761466006

What's your method for keeping tabs organized?

Earlier this year, I wanted to save a tab without leaving it open and realized there wasn't a simple app that felt right. I didn't want to create yet another account, install a privacy-questionable browser extension, or dig through a cluttered interface just to save something. It also felt like modern bookmarking still expects you to do too much work that could be automated.

Since then I’ve been hard at work and this week released Cubby to the App Store.

Cubby makes it easy to save tabs, organize them with a simple tagging system, and automatically group related content. I'm someone who's always closing tabs and likes to stay organized, but I also realized it could be even more valuable for people who constantly have dozens (or hundreds) of tabs open. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, I hope Cubby becomes a clean, simple home for everything you want to save.
