How it works
One shortcut for every browser tab.
FastTab reads your open browser tabs, bookmarks, and history in real time. Type a few characters to filter, hit Enter to jump — or hold the shortcut and release to commit, just like Cmd+Tab.
Open FastTab anywhere
Hit Cmd+Shift+Space, or set your own shortcut, even when another app is focused.
Search tabs, bookmarks, and history
Type a few characters to narrow the command bar to the page you need.
Jump or cycle
Press Enter to open a result, or keep tapping the shortcut to cycle like Cmd+Tab.
Launch at login
Optional. FastTab can stay ready in your menu bar from boot.
Why it’s different
Private first
Search stays on your Mac. FastTab has no accounts, no data collection, and no product analytics.
No browser extension needed
Works via macOS Accessibility APIs — no plugins, no permissions inside the browser.
Keyboard-first design
Every interaction is built for speed: arrows, space, enter, and your custom shortcut.
Native macOS feel
SwiftUI, glass materials, and subtle animations that feel at home on macOS 14+.
Source available
Read it before you trust it. The source is on GitHub — inspect the code, build a local copy, or send a focused fix. The official signed build ships updates and licensing.
Search coverage
Search Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Brave from one native Mac app.
FastTab is built for the messy reality of modern browsing: research in Safari, work in Chrome, client links in Edge, privacy mode in Brave — and dozens of tabs spread across windows.
Safari tab search
Search Safari tabs from the same shortcut you use for Chrome, Edge, and Brave.
Chrome tab search
Find buried Chrome tabs by title or URL without scanning every window.
Edge tab search
Keep work profiles and Edge tabs reachable from one native command bar.
Brave tab search
Search Brave tabs, bookmarks, and history — full support including profiles.
Best fit
A tab manager for fast keyboard switching, not another place to manage tabs.
FastTab is for people who already have a browser workflow and just need a faster way back to the exact page they were using.

Latest release
FastTab 1.6.1
Quick open now keeps your most recent tabs upfront while giving you a clean way to expand into every open tab when the first few are not enough.
Show all open tabs
The empty search view keeps the first four recent tabs visible, then adds a dedicated row to expand into the full open-tab list.
Recency stays honest
Quick open sorts the full live tab snapshot by raw recency, so the tab you just used remains easy to reach.
Keyboard-friendly expansion
Enter or shortcut cycling can activate the new row, while arrow navigation and guidance stay aligned with the selected item.
Cleaner gestures
The expand row stays out of delete and copy swipe states, keeping mouse guidance focused on real tab results.
