Tabstract 2.0: Safari tab sessions now get Apple Intelligence integration
Tabstract, a popular Safari extension that began as a simple way to save and restore open tabs, has released version 2.0. Created by developer Paul Maiorana and initially built for personal use before landing on the Mac App Store, the tool focuses on giving Safari users a clean, organized way to manage research and multi‑window workflows.
What’s new
- Apple Intelligence integration: Version 2.0 adds support for Apple’s new on‑device intelligence features in the latest macOS/iOS releases. While details will evolve, the integration is aimed at making session management smarter and more context‑aware without compromising privacy.
- Core focus remains sessions: Tabstract continues to make it easy to save a snapshot of all current tabs/windows and restore them later, so you can switch contexts (work, study, shopping, travel) without losing momentum.
- Refinements and UX polish: Version 2.0 brings general improvements to organization, navigation and reliability to streamline daily use.
Why it matters
- Context switching made easy: If you juggle multiple projects, session‑based tab management can save time and mental overhead.
- On‑device AI potential: By leaning on Apple Intelligence, Tabstract can tap into privacy‑preserving intelligence on modern Apple devices for more helpful suggestions and workflows.
- Safari‑first approach: Dedicated Safari extensions that respect Apple platform conventions can feel lighter than full‑blown third‑party browsers.
Getting started
- Find Tabstract on the Mac App Store (search).
- After installation, save your current tabs as a session, name it, and restore it whenever you need to pick up right where you left off.
Note: Apple Intelligence features require compatible Apple hardware and OS versions; capabilities may vary by region and device.
