Collectably Saves Open Tabs into Neat Visual Boards

Chrome: There are a ton of ways to organize your overflowing tabs, but few are as pretty and customizable as new add-on Collectably. The extension saves open tabs into Pinterest-like boards for better organization.

In essence, it's a visual bookmarking tool where you can drag-and-drop links and share your collected tabs with others. My favorite feature is the sub-boards, because it offers an additional layer of organization. For example, I'm gathering links to write about this week in a "To Do" board and organizing them in sub-boards titled "Tuesday," "Wednesday," etc. Like the links, sub-boards can be dragged to be reordered and you can also customize the background color for each.

Collectably is currently in open beta, so it's still rough around the edges (search doesn't seem to work and it would be nice to be able to tag links). Still, it's a great alternative to bookmarking all your tabs if you're a visual person.

Save Web Files Instantly Saves Online Files to the Cloud

Generally speaking, if you want to save a file from the internet to a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Skydrive, you have to download it to your computer first, then upload it into cloud storage. Save Web Files is a simple webapp that cuts out that middle step.

All you need to do is enter the URL of the file you want to download, and click the cloud storage service you're using. Save Web Files does the rest without downloading the file to your computer. This comes in handy when you're on a machine you can't download files to, or when you just don't want to waste the time downloading and then uploading a file.

SquadMail Saves Email Attachments to Dropbox (and We've Got Invites)

SquadMail, dubbed the "Dropbox of email," syncs and shares email folders between different users. The service now has a cool new feature for both individuals and groups: automatic saving of email attachments to Dropbox.

SquadMail's Dropbox saving feature works just like its core email syncing service. After setting up a new folder on the SquadMail site and choosing to sync it with Dropbox, SquadMail creates a new label for your email account (Gmail or other IMAP email) with the name of that folder. Then, to have attachments for emails saved to Dropbox, all you have to do is tag emails with that label.

With filtering, you can automate saving attachments to Dropbox. So, for example, you can create a filter for friends and family with the "has:attachment" option in Gmail and always tag it with your Dropbox folder label. Voila, all the photos and other docs from them are automatically saved there.

You can also forward emails to the SquadMail-provided email address for that folder. I found this to work immediately, whereas the label method can take a few minutes for the sync to happen.

Finally, as before, anyone you share that SquadMail folder with will also have that folder and any messages in it in his/her email account.

The Dropbox feature is in private beta right now, but the first 5,000 Lifehacker readers can try it out today using the link below.

CustoMac May Buyer's Guide Saves Money on Hackintosh-Compatible Builds

We love hackintoshes—the OS X-compatible computers you build yourself—but finding a compatible build requires some effort. Hackintosh master tonymacx86 offers up the latest working builds so you know the machine you'll build will work.

Tonymacx86's CustoMac buyers guide gets regular updates nowadays, but if you've been thinking about a hackintosh you'll get a good deal on parts this May. Why? Tonymacx86 explains:

It is currently a transitional period between Intel's 3rd generation "Ivy Bridge" and 4th generation "Haswell" Core i CPUs and their corresponding new chipset. Because of this, retailers are beginning to clear old inventory to make way for the new stuff. For those interested in super deals, it is now a very good time to build systems based on our well-established recommendations.

Per the usual, the CustoMac buyer's guide offers super cheap builds for only a few hundred dollars and extremely powerful builds that can rival a Mac Pro. When you've chosen all your parts, be sure to check out our always up-to-date guide to building a hackintosh so you can get it up and running.

CupCloud Saves Tabs and Documents, Instantly Loads Them On Another PC

Windows/OS X: CupCloud makes it easy to save and stop your work on one computer and pick right up where you left off on another, or save your session so you can reboot your computer and get right back to work without opening a ton of tabs or applications again.

CupCloud is in public beta right now, but it works like a charm. Just keep CupCloud running in the background on your Windows PC or Mac, and when you need to save your computer's session, just bring up the window and click "Cup" to save your system's current state—that includes open browser windows, open documents, files, and Explorer or Finder windows. Then, when you sit down at your other computer, you can click "uncup" to automatically open the programs you were working in, tabs you were reading, documents you were editing, and so on. It's quick and easy—and you don't have to leave everything open on the other computer for it to work.

Similarly, the app is useful if you suddenly have to reboot—like after a new application install, or because your IT department just pushed new updates to your computer that require a restart. Just Cup your current session, reboot, Uncup it, and you're back to work. You can even share those "cups," or saved sessions, with others so you can work together.

CupCloud isn't perfect—right now it only supports popular web browsers, Microsoft Office, Apple iWork, Finder, Explorer, and Acrobat—but more applications are coming soon as the beta progresses. You'll still have to remember to re-open your IM client, for exampe, or your favorite Twitter app. However, the service is completely free and very useful. Hit the link below to see how it works, and to sign up.
