App Description
ReTab brings lightning-fast tab switching to Safari. Instantly jump between your most recent tabs with a single keyboard shortcut — no more hunting through dozens of open tabs.
Instant Tab Switching — Press Cmd+E to toggle between your two most recent tabs. It's the fastest way to flip back and forth while researching, comparing, or multitasking.
Cycle Through Tab History — Press Cmd+G to cycle forward through your tab history, or Cmd+Shift+G to cycle backwards. ReTab remembers up to 9 tabs in your history, giving you quick access to everything you've been working on.
Jump Back on Tab Close — When you close a tab, ReTab automatically jumps you back to your most recently active tab instead of Safari's default behavior. This can be toggled on or off in the extension settings.
Customizable Shortcuts — With Safari 26 and later, you can customize all ReTab keyboard shortcuts directly in Safari's Extensions settings. For older Safari versions, remap keys with tools like Karabiner or BetterTouchTool.
Lightweight & Private — ReTab only needs the tabs permission — it never reads your browsing data, collects analytics, or phones home. Your tab history stays entirely on your device.
Works With Your Workflow — Whether you're a developer jumping between docs and code, a researcher comparing sources, or a power user with dozens of tabs — ReTab keeps you in the flow.
Just install, enable in Safari Extensions settings, visit a couple tabs, and you're ready to go.
