Tabsence: Auto Close Inactive & Unused Tabs

Auto close inactive tabs after a time you pick. Close unused tabs, save memory, and restore closed tabs from a searchable archive.

Tab overload slows down your browser and your thinking. Tabsence is a tab manager built to close inactive tabs automatically — set a time limit once, and unused tabs quietly close themselves, keeping your browser fast, your memory free, and your mind on what matters. Nothing closes until you choose a time limit, and the tab you're working in is always safe. Everything essential is free. A one-time PRO purchase adds a whitelist, a searchable tab archive, and cross-device sync. No subscriptions. No complexity. Just a cleaner, faster browser. Free features ✓ Auto Close Inactive Tabs Set a custom inactivity threshold — minutes, hours, days, or months — and Tabsence silently closes unused tabs in the background. No surprise closures: you pick the time limit before anything happens. ✓ Smart Activity Detection Tabsence only closes tabs that are truly idle. It tracks real usage signals—keyboard input, mouse clicks, scrolling, and touch—so active tabs are never closed unexpectedly. ✓ Save Memory & Speed Up Your Browser Every idle tab you close frees the memory and CPU it was using in the background. Fewer forgotten tabs means less RAM pressure and a faster, quieter computer. ✓ Pause & Resume Anytime Need everything open for a deep research session? Disable automatic tab closing with one click, without losing your saved settings. ✓ Set It Once, No Account Needed Install, pick a time limit, save — done. The core features work entirely offline with no sign-up required. Tabsence PRO No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, own it forever. ✓ Domain Whitelist — Never Lose Important Tabs Protect specific URLs or entire domains from ever being auto-closed. Three flexible match modes: • Exact — protect a specific URL and path (e.g. notion.so/workspace/1) • Subdomain — protect a domain and all its subdomains (e.g. slack.com) • Wildcard — use * patterns for broad rules (e.g. *.google.com) ✓ Pinned Tab Protection Keep your most important references always open. Enable "Don't close pinned tabs" and Tabsence will skip them entirely. ✓ Audio Tab Protection Never interrupt a podcast, music stream, or video call. Enable "Don't close audio tabs" to protect any tab playing sound. ✓ Tab Archive — Never Lose a Closed Tab Before Tabsence closes a tab, it saves the title, URL, and timestamp to your personal archive — up to 500 entries, stored only on your device. Accidentally lost something? Search by title or URL and reopen it with a single click. An optional on-page archive button puts your archived tabs one click away on any website, without opening the popup. ✓ Cross-Device Sync Your inactivity thresholds, whitelist rules, and settings sync instantly across all your desktop browsers when you log in and enable it. Configure once, use everywhere. Your tab archive never leaves your device.
