Magic & Lucky

Learn how Magic and Lucky organize Chrome tabs into groups using local rules, optional browser history and named dividers. Try an interactive example.

Two ways to start

Magic organize arranges links into relevant groups on the current board. Its settings let you adjust the source and grouping rules. Lucky is a shortcut for an empty board: it starts with frequently visited sites from a 90-day history window after the required Chrome permission is granted.

Lucky needs enough materialIt is offered on an empty board and needs at least six distinct eligible sites, with Chrome visitCount of two or more. Chrome’s visitCount can include older visits to a recently visited page. This is not an exact visit counter limited to the last 90 days.

Let the sample links land

✦ PLAYGROUND / A LITTLE LOCAL MAGICSample data only
A handful of open ideas

Eight sample links. Three useful shelves. Give it a try.

Better groups, fewer shelves

A good group describes a purpose, rather than repeating a domain. For example, E-Commerce can hold Shopify and an Amazon divider above Amazon, Seller Central and Amazon Ads. A site family with several related links is a better candidate for a divider than a separate group for every URL.

Local rules can miss context. Treat the result as a useful starting point: rename groups, move a link, add a divider, or adjust your custom rules.

What “Magic” actually means

The current version uses local rules, domains and titles. It does not call a remote AI model or upload browsing history. History-based collection saves root site addresses, without private paths and query strings. Imported open tabs and manually saved links can retain their full URLs locally.

About the animation

Groups appear first, then favicon plates travel between them. The extension limits simultaneous flying elements. Reduced-motion preferences are respected. The demo here illustrates the interaction; it is not running the extension’s real organizer.

Stay in controlThere is no continuously running background history watcher. History and open-tab access are optional; skipping the first-run offer is fine.
