I’m Kyle Gao, CTO and cofounder of Skipper. This product emerged from research done at Carnegie Mellon University about focus and browser design. People leave tabs open to serve as reminders or for quick access to things they want to get back to. But as the pile of open tabs grows, the browser becomes incredibly cluttered and tabs are indistinguishable from one another - failing to either remind or provide quick access as intended.

Skipper is a Chrome extension that automatically saves and closes unused open tabs, and then organizes them by topic and time used. We aspire to make manual organization frictionless and easy, and then leverage the user’s personalized organization system to extend it and keep it up to date on an ongoing basis using AI. That way, only the tabs you’re actually using are left open in your browser bar, so they actually are easy to get back to.

We are focused on “the ADHD entrepreneur” - this persona emerged from interviews with our early adopters. Those who are diagnosed with ADHD or who simply struggle with focus tend to appreciate the automatic decluttering the most as it prevents them from rabbit-hole-ing on the wrong thing unintentionally.

I am looking for feedback about whether Skipper fits into your workflow naturally without you having to change your own habits to get value from it. Give it a try and let me know what you think! You can also email me at [email protected]
