BDE

Close your tabs without losing them.

BDE keeps every tab you didn't get round to reading, then sorts your research into projects you can come back to later.

For Windows 10 and 11, with Chrome, Edge or Brave.

What BDE does

A small desktop app and a browser extension that work together in the background.

Saves tabs you leave unread

When your browser sits in the background, your computer goes idle or locks, or you close a tab you never read, BDE keeps a copy of it under Inactive tabs.

Groups research into projects

BDE looks at the tabs from your browsing sessions and gathers related ones into projects, each with a short summary of what you were looking into.

Pin, queue, note or read later

Sort anything worth keeping into Pinned, Queued, Noted or Later, and search all your bookmarks from one place.

Your bookmarks stay on your laptop

Everything BDE saves is stored on your own computer. Old items are archived automatically after the period you choose.

How it works

  1. Browse as usual

    Open as many tabs as you like while you research.

  2. Step away

    Switch to other work, or let your laptop go idle.

  3. BDE saves them

    Unread tabs appear under Inactive tabs, so you can close them safely.

  4. Projects appear

    A few hours later, related tabs show up together as a project.

Questions

Which browsers does BDE work with?

Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Brave on Windows 10 and 11. BDE links to one browser per laptop at a time; to switch, click Unlink in BDE's Settings (or remove the extension) and add it to the other browser. Firefox is planned for a later update.

How do I install BDE?

Install the BDE desktop app for Windows, add the BDE extension to Chrome, Edge or Brave from your browser's extension store, then open BDE, go to Settings → License, paste your license key and click Activate. Full steps will be on this site when subscriptions open.

Does BDE save my private browsing?

No. Incognito tabs are never saved.

What is sent off my laptop?

To create projects, BDE sends the titles and web addresses of saved tabs, over an encrypted connection, to our server, which passes them to Google's Gemini AI service to group them and write a summary. They are not stored on our server. Your bookmarks themselves stay on your laptop. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

How does the license work?

After you subscribe, you receive a license key by email. Enter it in BDE's Settings on each laptop your plan covers. If you replace a laptop, you can move the license to the new one.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time. Your subscription runs until the end of the period you've paid for. See our Refund Policy for refunds.
