Rotten Tabs

Rotten Tabs helps you fight tab overload by tracking how long each tab stays open. It automatically groups stale tabs, warns you visually, and eventually closes them — but with a twist: you can always save a tab by returning to it and staying focused on it until the countdown badge reaches zero, without switching windows or tabs. 🎯 Minimalist by design No clutter, no complicated settings. One simple slider lets you choose how long tabs are allowed to live (1 to 7 days). That’s it. 🧠 Brutally focused Rotten Tabs doesn’t offer “undo” buttons or restore panels. The only way to save a tab is to prove you need it — just stay on it until the countdown badge hits zero. Features: • Auto-grouping of tabs with visual stages: Rotten Tabs 🤢 → Closing soon 💩 • Countdown timer badge • Option to rescue tabs before time runs out • Auto-closes tabs after their lifespan expires • Adjustable "tab lifespan" via popup • Notifications when a tab is revived 🌱 • No personal data collected — everything runs locally 🚀 How to Use Rotten Tabs 1.
