Dia Tab Groups

Turn a Dia tab group into a tidy bookmark folder, filed exactly where you want it.

Dia · Browser extension

How it works

Three steps, about ten seconds. Right-click the group, paste, and it's filed away.

📋

Copy the group

Right-click any tab group in Dia and choose Copy Links. That's the whole handoff.

📁

Name it and place it

Paste into the popup, give the folder a name, and pick a spot from your full bookmarks tree. It remembers where you put the last one.

Tidy by default

Reads plain URLs, markdown links, or title-then-URL lines. Page titles are kept when they're there, and duplicates are skipped.

Why it works this way

Dia's tab groups are proprietary. They aren't visible to extensions — the chrome.tabGroups API is there but always comes back empty — and AppleScript only sees windows and tabs. The on-disk tab store is encrypted, so there's no file to read either.

Dia's own Copy Links command is the one door out, so the extension goes through it. In exchange, it asks for a single permission: bookmarks. Nothing reads your tabs, your history, or anything else.
