Dead simple

From tab chaos to calm in three steps

1

Save

Click Add Current Page to capture a tab — with an automatic screenshot preview — into a Stage.

2

Find

Nest Stages within Stages and drop tabs wherever they belong, then jump to anything with universal search — fuzzy-matching titles, URLs, and notes across every Stage at once.

3

Deploy

Reopen a whole Stage in one click — every tab inside it and its sub-Stages redeployed as tidy, named tab groups. Close tabs guilt-free.

One simple building block

Stages within Stages

Everything is a Stage. Nest them as deep as your work needs, and drop tabs in wherever they belong — no rigid levels to fight.

🎬
Top level

Stages

A whole context — "Work", "Side project", "Travel planning". Each Stage holds tabs and as many sub-Stages as you like, with its own thumbnail.

🪆
Go deeper

Nested Stages

Put a Stage inside a Stage inside a Stage — up to 10 levels deep. Break any context down exactly the way you think about it.

🔖
Anywhere

Tabs

Tabs live directly in any Stage — no folder to make first. Each has a screenshot preview, editable title and URL, and your own notes.

Everything you need

A productivity tool, not another tab graveyard

Find anything instantly, act on tabs in bulk, and make Stager yours. Fast, keyboard-friendly, and entirely local.

Universal search

One box, instant fuzzy matching across every Stage, tab title, URL, and note — at any depth. Click a hit to open the tab straight away.

Deploy your context

Relaunch a whole Stage in one click — every tab inside it and its sub-Stages reopens as named browser groups, your train of thought back in seconds.

Save all open tabs

One click captures every open tab in the window into a fresh Stage — clear the clutter now, come back to it later.

Multi-select & bulk actions

Hover a card, tick the bubble, and act on many at once — open, move between Stages, or delete in a single sweep.

Light & dark themes

Three looks — Midnight, Clean, and Soft 3D — each with a light and dark mode. Make Stager feel like yours.

Keyboard shortcuts

Save every open tab or jump straight into search without touching the mouse — Stager keeps your hands on the keys.

Screenshot previews

Every saved tab gets a visual thumbnail, so you recognize pages at a glance instead of squinting at URLs.

Backup & restore

Export your whole library to a JSON file and re-import it on any machine. Validated, with an overwrite prompt.

Local-first & private

All data lives on your device. No account, no analytics, no tracking — nothing sent to a server, ever.

Questions

Frequently asked

A Stage is a whole context for your work — like "Work", "Side project", or "Travel planning". A Stage can hold tabs directly and as many sub-Stages as you like, nested up to 10 levels deep. Everything is just a Stage, so you organize exactly the way you think.

Yes. Stager is local-first — everything is stored on your own device using your browser's local storage. There's no account, no login, no analytics, and no tracking. Your tabs never leave your machine unless you export them yourself.

No. Install it and start staging tabs immediately — no sign-up, no email, nothing to configure.

Free lets you save up to 10 tabs total — with unlimited stages and nesting, one-click launch, multi-select, Save-all-tabs, themes, screenshots, notes, and backup all included. Pro unlocks universal search across everything and lifts the cap to unlimited saved tabs — for a single $3 one-time payment. No subscription, ever, and your existing tabs are never locked.

Yes — Settings has three themes (Midnight, Clean, and Soft 3D), each with a light and a dark mode, so you can match your browser or your mood. Themes are free for everyone. You can preview the same three looks right here on this page using the picker in the top-right.

Absolutely. Use Export Backup to save your whole library as a JSON file, then Import Backup on the other machine. Import is validated and asks before overwriting. You're never locked in.

Chrome, Edge, and Brave run the same Chromium package (minimum Chrome version 102). Firefox is supported too with a dedicated build for Firefox 128+ — and on Firefox 139+ launching a Stage uses native tab groups, just like Chrome. Grab it from the Firefox download page. Safari isn't supported yet.
