About TabCmdr

About TabCmdr

TabCmdr is an independent project built and maintained by @abhimanyu003. There is no company behind it, no team, and no outside funding. It is one developer’s tool, released publicly because other people turned out to want the same thing.

Why it exists

The browser is where most work happens, and it is the one place without a command palette. Editors have one. Terminals have one. Design tools have one. Browsers still expect you to hunt through a strip of unreadable tab favicons. TabCmdr adds the missing keystroke.

How it is funded

TabCmdr is funded directly by the people who use it, at $3.99 per year. That is the whole business model. There are no ads, no sponsored results, no analytics sold to anyone, and no free tier propped up by harvesting data - which is what makes it possible to run the extension entirely on your device. See Licensing for how the trial and renewal work.

How it is built

TabCmdr runs entirely inside your browser. There is no TabCmdr server to send anything to, because there isn’t one. The only network request the extension makes on its own is a periodic license check against Gumroad’s API. Every permission it requests, and exactly what each one is used for, is documented in the Privacy Policy.
