About Idle Tab
Auto-detects idle tabs and organizes them into native Chrome tab groups to keep your browser organized and running smoothly.
If you often keep many tabs open, slowing down your browser and cluttering your screen, Idle Tab is a clean, standalone tool designed to help you manage your workspace.
[Key Features]
- Background Scan: Tracks the duration since you last interacted with each tab in the background.
- Smart Triage: Review your idle tabs at a glance on the dedicated dashboard. You can keep specific tabs or stage them for grouping.
- Automatic Grouping: Organize selected idle tabs by workspace or domain name, and create native Chrome Tab Groups in a single click.
- Standalone Operation: No external servers or communication are used. All tab processing is kept locally on your device to protect your privacy.
[How to Use]
1. Install the extension and click the icon to open the Dashboard.
2. Go to settings and set your preferred "Idle Threshold" (e.g., 30 minutes).
3. The background worker will monitor your tabs. Idle tabs are prepared for your review.
4. Open the dashboard to review your idle tabs, organize them into named groups, and click "Finalize Group" to create Chrome Tab Groups.
[Privacy & Security]
Idle Tab respects user privacy. It requires no host permissions, performs no tracking, and transmits no data to external servers. All tab management operations and settings are kept strictly local on your device.
