TabZen

TabZen keeps tab sprawl under control by tracking how you actually use your tabs — then giving you fast, reversible ways to clean up. ━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━ USAGE TRACKING TabZen records when each tab was opened, when you last used it, and how often it is genuinely used. "Used" means real engagement: you stayed on the page past a dwell threshold, or you interacted with it (mouse, scroll, keys, selection). A cooldown keeps a tab you work in all afternoon from drowning out one you return to every day. DUPLICATE HANDLING — BEFORE THE PAGE LOADS When you open a page that is already open, TabZen can catch it *before* the duplicate is fetched and ask what you want: • Switch to the tab that already has it • Open it here anyway For a tab navigating away from a page you were reading, it also offers to switch and return that tab to where you were — so you do not lose your place. Or skip the question entirely: switch silently, or move the existing tab next to whatever spawned the duplicate. TIDY UP IN ONE CLICK • Close duplicates • Group or close stale tabs — old tabs you never actually read • Close every tab from a site, with subdomains grouped or separated (mail.google.com and chat.google.com, together or apart — your choice) Everything TabZen closes goes to a Recently Closed list you can restore from. ORGANIZE Sort by title, domain, when opened, or when last used. Merge every window into one, split a window by site, or auto-group by domain with a stable colour per site. MOST VISITED See which sites you actually use over the last 7 or 30 days, ranked by real visits rather than by how many tabs happen to be open, with a drill-down to the individual pages. ━━ PRIVACY ━━ TabZen makes no network requests. None. Every byte it records stays in your browser profile, and Options → Your data deletes all of it in one click. Page access is optional and off by default — TabZen works without it, measuring foreground time instead of interaction, and asking about duplicates with its own page and desktop notifications. Turn it on only if you want activity tracking. ━━ CONTROL ━━ • A pause switch stops everything automatically, without uninstalling • Duplicate matching strictness is configurable, including which sites use #fragments for routing and which sites to never deduplicate • Pinned tabs, audible tabs and grouped tabs are protected from purging by default • Tabs restored from a previous session are never purged on age alone, since Chrome does not report their real age • Dry-run mode logs what would close without closing anything
