# Tab management and AI completion notifications

> Auto-rename browser tabs with conversation titles, receive desktop alerts when the AI finishes, and hide tab titles with privacy mode.

export const Icon = ({src, alt}) => <img src={typeof window !== "undefined" && typeof src === "string" && src.startsWith("/images/icons/") && (window.location.pathname === "/docs" || window.location.pathname.startsWith("/docs/")) ? `/docs${src}` : src} alt={alt} width="18" height="18" style={{
  display: "inline-block",
  verticalAlign: "-0.2em",
  margin: "0 0.15em"
}} />;

When you're running multiple AI conversations across different tabs, keeping track of which tab is which — and knowing when the AI has finished — becomes a real workflow problem. Ophel manages your browser tab titles automatically and can alert you the moment a response is ready, even when you've switched to something else entirely.

## Auto tab renaming

Ophel syncs your browser tab title to the current AI conversation, making it easy to identify open sessions from the tab bar.

**Settings → Features → Tab**:

| Setting                         | Description                                                                                      | Default                    |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------- |
| Auto-rename                     | Sync conversation title to the browser tab                                                       | On                         |
| Title update interval           | How often to poll for title changes                                                              | 3 s                        |
| Title format                    | Tab title template using `{title}`, `{status}`, and `{model}` variables                          | `{status}{title}->{model}` |
| Show status icon                | Display a generating or completed icon in the tab title (`⏳` / `✅`)                              | On                         |
| Only show checkmark when unread | Show `✅` only while the completed reply has not been viewed; hide it after you return to the tab | Off                        |

The default format produces titles like `⏳ My conversation->GPT-4o` while generating and `✅ My conversation->GPT-4o` when complete.

The title format editor highlights `{status}`, `{title}`, and `{model}` as token chips and provides buttons to insert them, so you can adjust the template without mistyping a placeholder.

<Tip>
  Enable <Icon src="/docs/images/icons/new-tab.svg" alt="New tab icon" /> **Open New Chat in New Tab** in **Settings → Features → Tab** to show a panel-header button that opens a fresh chat in a new browser tab. Existing conversations can be opened in a new tab from the <Icon src="/docs/images/icons/more-horizontal.svg" alt="Conversation menu icon" /> conversation row menu.
</Tip>

## Generation complete notifications

When the AI finishes a reply in another tab, Ophel can alert you with a desktop notification, a sound, or both.

**Settings → Features → Alerts**:

| Setting                    | Description                                                          | Default   |
| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| Completion notification    | Send a desktop notification when generation completes                | Off       |
| Notification sound         | Play an audio cue with the notification                              | On        |
| Sound preset               | Choose from built-in sound effects                                   | softChime |
| Volume                     | Notification volume                                                  | 50%       |
| Repeat count               | How many times to repeat a short sound                               | 3         |
| Repeat interval            | Time between each repeat                                             | 2 s       |
| Notify when tab is focused | Also notify when the active tab is already in view                   | Off       |
| Auto-focus window          | Bring the browser window to the foreground when generation completes | Off       |

<Note>
  The first time you enable **Completion notification**, the browser will ask
  for the **notifications** permission. Choose Allow. If you previously denied
  it, go to **Settings → Permissions** to grant it.
</Note>

## Privacy mode

If you don't want the tab bar to reveal what you're discussing, privacy mode replaces the browser tab title with custom text of your choosing.

**Settings → Features → Tab**:

| Setting       | Description                                   | Default |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| Privacy mode  | Replace the tab title with custom text        | Off     |
| Privacy title | The text to display instead of the real title | Google  |

<Note>
  Privacy mode only affects the browser tab title. It has no effect on
  conversation content or anything inside the Ophel panel.
</Note>

## Model lock

Ophel can automatically switch to your preferred model each time you open a particular AI site, so you never have to manually re-select your model after a page load.

This is covered in detail on the [site settings](/docs/customization/site-settings) page.
