With Omni you can use Chrome like a pro. Manage tabs, bookmarks, your browser history, perform all sorts of actions and more with a simple command interface.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Over the holidays I've been thinking about all the time I lose doing menial tasks: finding the right tab in Chrome (I have far too many :P), starting meetings, creating tasks, clearing cookies and cache to help debug problems in websites, looking through my browser history to find a site I forgot about, etc.
So I decided to build Omni as a tool to do it all through an omnisearch interface. With just one click (or key press) you can perform any action or browse through all sorts of data in Chrome. No need for your mouse anymore.
Here are some of its features:
🗄 Switch, open, close, and search your tabs
📚 Browse and manage your bookmarks
🔍 Search your browsing history
⚡️ 50+ actions to improve your productivity
🔮 Special commands to filter and perform more actions
🧩 Integrations with Notion, Figma, Docs, Asana...
⌨️ Shortcuts for actions such as muting, pinning, bookmarking...
⚙️ Advanced settings to help troubleshoot browsing issues
🌙 Dark mode
...and much more - all for free & no sign in needed!
The code is available on GitHub if you'd like to contribute to Omni, self-host it, or build your own omnisearch extension.
This looks amazing, @alyssaxuu!! Does Omni have the ability to search folders/files within a synced Google Drive (that isn't already a current tab)? I couldn't find it, and if not, it would be a game-changing feature!
This is incredible. Takes one of the best features from many productivity apps, and brings it to the browser. Absolutely needed, and will get using it right away.
@alyssaxuu This is amazing as always, I struggled a little with Ctrl+K because in my system (Ubuntu) it was focusing on search bar but changing to Ctrl+Shift+K did the job. Thanks for making it.
@gurrrrung Thanks! I wasn't sure which shortcut to set for default, there's several websites that can conflict with it (or OSs in your case). Might try to see if there's a better way.
As someone who loves opening a million tabs, hates closing them, and is in denial about the fact that he can never find the tab he's looking for, I find this very useful! 😅 Really simple, intuitive, and useful 👌 Thanks for building and sharing!
i love it! I was using another tab manager but it was quite slow. this is so fast and has so many other features on top!
Few features I missed from my previous tab manager was that, I can even search my browsing history directly (same like how bookmarks is surfaced when typed) & I also can create a quick task, and a banner will appear over my web page with a countdown timer. Hopefully this feature can be available here too!
Awesome idea, something like that was long overdue! Only thing I dislike is that I can't keep cursor up/down pressed in the selection list which makes navigating more cumbersome than necessary.
@alyssaxuu exactly! Feels unnatural if it doesn't work. Guess you're binding these events to keyup instead of keypressed. keypressed would be better as this also honors the system key repetition settings.
@digitalbreed It was on keyup. Keypress doesn't work for arrow keys, I ended up switching it for keydown. Should be working fine now, I released a fix for version 1.1.4. Will be live in the Chrome Store in an hour or less. Thanks for your feedback!
This is awesome. Just one question (though i'm sure it has been answered somewhere just couldn't find it 😅) but is there a key combination to access it instead of having to click it?
@reu1 You can use Command+Shift+K on Mac to open it, or Control+Shift+K on Windows. You can also customize the shortcut over at chrome://extensions/shortcuts
