Extension
Install AI Tab Switch
Unpacked load in developer mode. Same features everywhere — side panel on Chrome/Edge/Brave/Opera/Arc, sidebar on Firefox, popup + dashboard on Safari (Safari additionally needs a one-command Xcode wrap on macOS).

After it loads
An AI Tab Switch dashboard tab opens — that list is the real radar, not the website demo. Two things make it live:
- Activate it — the panel first shows Log in to activate. One click opens a login window for the account you purchased with; no password is ever typed into the extension. Until then the radar stays locked.
- Reload AI tabs that were already open — a page loaded before the extension existed can't be tracked until it reloads once.
Where to find it afterwards:
- Chrome / Edge / Brave — pin the puzzle-piece toolbar icon, then click it. The side panel is the radar.
- Firefox — View → Sidebar → AI Tab Switch, or click the toolbar icon for the popup. Temporary add-ons hide in the puzzle menu until pinned.
- Safari — click the toolbar icon for the popup, or use the dashboard tab. No sidebar on Safari; everything else is identical.
- Sound is off until you turn it on in that panel.
- Updates — the extension checks this site once a day and shows a banner plus a notification with a one-click download when a newer version is out. Unzip over the old folder, then hit Reload on the extensions page.
- 01
Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc)
Unzip the Chrome package. Open ( on Edge), turn on Developer mode, then Load unpacked and select the folder that contains
manifest.json. Pin AI Tab Switch. The toolbar badge is the ready count. - 02
Firefox
Unzip the Firefox package. Open , Load Temporary Add-on, pick
manifest.json. Open the sidebar from View → Sidebar → AI Tab Switch. A temporary add-on unloads when Firefox closes — load it again from the same page next session. Permanent install requires Mozilla signing. - 03
Safari (macOS)
Unzip the Safari package. On a Mac with Xcode, run
xcrun safari-web-extension-converter ai-tab-switch --app-name "AI Tab Switch"(full command and a ready-made script ship inside the package —safari/README.md). Run the generated app once, allow unsigned extensions under Safari → Settings → Developer, enable it under Extensions, and grant access on every AI site. Heads-up: Safari has no system-notification API — the badge, radar and chime alert you instead (and off-desk alerts still reach your phone). Distribution needs an Apple Developer account.
