Mark from the keyboard
Alt+Shift+M cycles the current tab through your colors. Alt+Shift+X removes the mark. No menus.
Find any tab in a sea of tabs.
TabHalo is a Chrome extension that color-codes individual tabs with a color, a symbol or a label, without grouping or moving them, so the ones you need stand out when you have too many tabs open.

Small marks. Found in a second.
Jump to the next tab of the same color
Alt+Shift+N jumps to the next tab with the same color, or to the next marked tab if you're on an unmarked one.
Labels at the front of the title
Labels go before the title, so they stay visible when the title is long. Keep up to 12 quick labels in the popup and the right-click menu.

Rules that mark for you
Pair a site with an optional keyword from the URL or title, and matching tabs get the color and label on their own. A color you pick by hand always wins.
Four icon styles
Color behind the icon, a tinted icon, a small badge, or a symbol in place of the icon: circle, square, diamond, star, heart or bookmark.

18 colors and gradients
From Red to Twilight, plus colors you create. Give any color its own emoji in the title, like 🔥 for urgent.
TabHalo and Tab Groups
Groups move your tabs. TabHalo just marks them.
| Chrome Tab Groups | TabHalo | |
|---|---|---|
| Tab order | Tabs are pulled together into a group | Tabs stay exactly where they are |
| Where the color shows | On the group's label and outline | On each tab's icon and in its title |
| One tab, one mark | A single tab needs a group of its own | Mark any single tab in one keystroke |
| Jump between marked tabs | — | Alt+Shift+N |

FAQ
Questions
How do I change the color of a single tab in Chrome?
Chrome only colors tab groups, which move your tabs together. TabHalo marks any single tab with a color in its icon and title, and the tab stays exactly where it is.
How do I find a tab when I have too many open?
Mark the ones you need, then press Alt+Shift+N to jump between them, or open the TabHalo popup to see every marked tab in one searchable list.
Can I color tabs without using tab groups?
Yes. That is what TabHalo is for. Pick a color, a symbol or a label for any tab, and it keeps its place in the tab strip.
Why does TabHalo ask for access to all sites?
To change a tab's title and icon, Chrome requires permission on the site that tab shows. TabHalo uses it only to set the title and the icon. It does not read the content of the page.
Does it slow Chrome down?
No. TabHalo only changes two small things on a marked tab, its title and its icon. Unmarked tabs are left alone.
Does it work in Edge?
Edge support is coming soon.
What happens after I restart Chrome?
When Chrome restores your tabs after a restart, TabHalo puts the marks back on them automatically. Tabs marked by rules are re-marked every time.
