Never lose your train of thought.

vatra is a Chrome side panel for your tabs. The ones you keep coming back to stay warm and close at hand; the ones you've forgotten cool off and get out of the way. Everything runs locally — no account, no sync, no server.

What it does

Sorted by real attention. Not by the order you happened to open things. vatra watches which tabs you actually return to and floats them to the top.
Hover or Alt+S. The panel sits collapsed at the edge of the page as a thin strip. Hover it, or hit the shortcut, and it slides out with the search box focused.
Search tabs and history together. Type; open tabs match first, recently closed pages underneath. Enter goes to the top hit.
Hot, Domains, Closed. Three views — what's warm right now, everything grouped by site, and what you closed and might want back.
Private by construction. Your tabs and history are read on your device and stay there. Read the privacy policy — it's short.

Summon, scan, search — about nine seconds.

The vatra panel open over a Wikipedia article, listing ten tabs ordered by attention — The Hot view — ordered by the attention each tab actually gets.

Searching for "ember": a matching open tab, a search fallback, and a recently closed page — One box searches open tabs and recently closed pages together.

The Domains view grouping seven Wikipedia tabs under en.wikipedia.org — Domains view — tabs collected by site, reorderable.
