Embrace the chaos of open tabs—no tab archiving required!
We all tend to bounce between just a handful of active tabs, even if we have dozens open in the background. AltCue zeroes in on that reality by presenting your 5 most recent tabs in a convenient popup. Quickly jump to your most relevant tabs and let the rest stay out of sight (and out of mind).
Who Is AltCue For?
- Tab Hoarders who keep dozens (or hundreds!) of tabs open yet only touch a few of them.
- Multitaskers juggling work, research, and entertainment tabs at once.
- Keyboard Ninjas who prefer quick shortcuts to clicking around.
- Anyone looking to corral their tabs without the hassle of shutting them down or stashing them away in hidden lists.
Why AltCue?
- Focus on your working set: We know you probably only juggle a few tabs at a time. AltCue keeps those at your fingertips.
- Stay in your flow: Instantly switch between tabs without leaving the keyboard—no need to hunt through an endless row of tiny tab icons.
