About TabReaper – Auto Tab Closer
TabReaper automatically closes tabs you haven't used in a while, keeping your browser clean and your memory free — all according to your own rules.
■ New in v1.1.0
• Close selected tab groups or close all tab groups at once
• Audio-playing tabs, individually protected tabs, and your minimum tab count are still kept safe
• Closed tabs remain in history and can be restored with one click
■ Key features
• Auto-close tabs after a configurable idle time (in minutes)
• "Activity" counts switching to a tab, navigating, and in-page scrolling/clicking — using a tab resets its timer
• Never closes tabs playing audio or video
• Never closes pinned tabs or the tab you're currently viewing (each toggleable)
• Set a minimum number of tabs to always keep — it never closes below that (so you're never left with nothing)
• Protect individual tabs by checking them in the open-tabs list
• Live "closes in" countdown shown for each tab
• Closed tabs are saved to history and restorable with one click
• Full-page settings in a tab; switch between English and 日本語 (defaults to your browser language)
■ Great if you
• Always end up with dozens of open tabs
• Want to auto-tidy clutter while keeping the tabs that matter
• Don't want music or video tabs closed by accident
■ Privacy
Everything runs locally in your browser. TabReaper never collects or transmits your browsing history or page content. Your data (settings and closed-tab history) is stored only on your device.
