Named tab groups for the task at hand.

Blanc keeps the group you’re working in on the Island and folds the rest away.

A group name stays with the active task, while the rest of the session can remain folded away.

Groups have names, and colors if you want them.

Name the task, then keep moving.

Use /group work to create or join a named group from the active tab. A group exists only while it has tabs in it.

Give a group a color.

Right-click a group’s header, or press its ⋮, and pick one of eight colors. The group’s block takes a light tint, and its tabs’ dots in the Island take the color. Groups start without one.

Keep the active group close.

The resting island shows the active group's tabs. Group names and the rest of your groups live in the expanded panel, where you can choose what to return to.

Fold the rest without losing the thread.

Groups can tuck away in the panel, and the Quick Switcher finds them by name when it is time to return.

Group, jump, close, and bring it back.

Right-click any tab.

Choose Move to Group to start a new group, move the tab into one you already have, or remove it from its group.

One menu for each group.

The same menu holds the group’s name and color, New Tab in Group, Move Group to New Window, Ungroup and Close Group.

Drag tabs and groups into order.

In the expanded Island or in vertical tabs, drag a tab to reorder it within its group, move it into another group, or take it out of its group. Drop a tab on a group’s header to add it, even when the group is folded. Drag a header to move the whole group; ⌘1 to ⌘9 on a Mac, or Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 on Windows and Linux, follow the new order.

Place loose tabs anywhere.

Tabs outside a group can sit above, between or below your groups. New tabs still start at the bottom.

Or move them from the keyboard.

Focus a tab or a group header and press Option+Shift+Up or Down on a Mac, or Alt+Shift+Up or Down on Windows and Linux. Folded groups are skipped, and pinned tabs stay pinned.

Jump straight to a group.

When you have groups, ⌘1 to ⌘9 on a Mac, or Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 on Windows and Linux, jump to each group, and each run of ungrouped tabs, in order.

Links open outside the group.

A link you open in a new tab from a grouped tab opens outside any group, at the bottom, like a new tab you start yourself.

Close a group, then bring it back.

Type /close-group to close every tab in the group, and reopen the whole group with ⌘⇧T on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+T on Windows and Linux.

Keep the session. Lose the tab-strip noise.
