A Revolutionary Tab Manager on Your New Tab Page

What is Skeema?

Skeema is a Chrome extension created by CS researchers at Carnegie Mellon, designed to redefine tab management. It addresses core issues that tend to cause tab overload, such as resumption, refinding and resurfacing of web pages. It offers an intuitive way to organize, save, and revisit tabs, group links/docs, add notes, as well as share and collaborate in real-time. Users reportedly save 30-45 minutes a day using Skeema. It upholds user privacy and does not share/sell user data.

From CS researchers at Carnegie Mellon, Skeema is a human-centered way to manage your tabs that helps declutter your browser and your mind. Based on new research uncovering the deep causes of tab overload, Skeema changes the way you interact with the web resulting in what users call "an efficiency dream" and an "expansion card for your unstructured mind".

We built Skeema to overcome the three main problems that cause tab overload, including: REMINDING & RESUMPTION. You're constantly switching between unfinished tasks all day, leaving tabs open so you don't lose where you left off.
REFINDING. You leave docs and links open to avoid digging through emails or Slack or drives to find them again.
RESURFACING. You leave articles and papers open in tabs to read because you don't have time to read them right now but if you put them away you may forget and never get back to them.

Skeema fixes these problems that current approaches like bookmarks, to-do lists, tab groups, and tab managers fail to do. Our users report saving 30-45 minutes a day on average.

KEY BENEFITS

Get rid of tabs in your browser ● Save tabs into groups and split a complex project into more manageable slices.

User reviews

I've been using this for a while now and find this tool one of the most helpful extensions from about a thousand I've tried. Simple, quick and super efficient to organize research for school and personal use. Also, love that it's free of cost and isn't disruptive like some tab management extensions can be. Just heard it will expire in two months :( Please find a way for it to be accessible (forever) exactly the way it is ..

The most valuable browser tool I use. I spent countless hours testing solutions to help manage my online research efforts and organize all the content in a way that mirrors my overall work process. Skeema is the most flexible, easy-to-learn, and comprehensive tool. It revolutionizes the "new tab" start page (or whatever you want to call it). Skeema's default design is very intuitive. You don't have to spend time learning a different way of working or struggle to change how you already organize your work.
