QuIt Tabs

Automatically close inactive tabs with customizable countdown timers. Protect important tabs from auto-closing.

# QuIt Tabs – Automatically Close Inactive Tabs **Every tab gets a countdown. Tabs you don’t return to are closed.** QuIt Tabs is a browser extension focused on automatically **quitting inactive tabs**. Each tab starts a countdown when it becomes inactive. If the timer expires before you return, the tab is closed. --- ## 🚀 How QuIt Tabs Works * **Universal Countdown** Every background tab receives an inactivity countdown. * **Per-Domain Time Customization** You can assign different countdown durations for specific websites (for example: news sites close faster, documentation sites stay open longer). * **Clear and Predictable Behavior** No conditional rules or automation logic. Tabs are closed only when their countdown reaches zero. --- ## 🛡 Tab Protection * **Active Tab Protection** – The tab you are currently viewing is never closed. * **Media Protection** – Tabs playing audio or video remain open. * **Pinned Tab Protection** – Pinned tabs are excluded from countdown. * **Manual Protection** – Protect any tab with a single click. --- ## ⏱ Visual Countdown See exactly how much time remains before a tab is closed, directly in the extension popup. --- ## 🪟 Single Window Mode When enabled, tabs in unfocused windows continue counting down, ensuring only tabs you are actively using stay open. --- ## 🧹 Quick Quit Tools * **Quit All** – Close all countdown tabs at once (protected tabs are respected). * **Merge Duplicates** – Close duplicate URLs with a single action. * **Batch Actions** – Quit, protect, or unprotect multiple tabs instantly. --- ## 📊 Quit Insights (Local Only) QuIt Tabs provides simple statistics **only for tabs it has closed itself**, including: * Total number of tabs closed * Reasons for closure (inactivity, manual quit) * Most frequently closed websites --- ## 🕘 Quit History (Extension-Only) QuIt Tabs keeps a local history of **tabs closed by QuIt Tabs**, not browser history. Each entry includes: * Tab URL * Time of closure * Reason for closure --- ## 🛠 Settings * **Default Countdown Duration** – Set the global inactivity timer. * **Per-Domain Countdown** – Override the timer for specific websites. * **Special Pages** – Choose whether internal pages can be closed. * **Window Focus Behavior** – Control how unfocused windows are treated. --- ## 🔐 Privacy * Does not read page content. * Does not access browser browsing history. * Does not track users across websites. * All data is stored locally in the browser. --- ## 🔍 Permissions * `tabs` & `tabGroups` – Required to track tab state and close tabs. * `storage` – Stores settings, quit history, and counters. * `alarms` – Runs inactivity countdowns. --- **Open Source** https://github.com/moseiei132/QuIt-Tabs
