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 with Search & One-Click Restore Before Tabsence closes a tab, it saves the title, URL, and timestamp to your personal archive. Accidentally lost something? Search by title or URL and reopen it with a single click—no more digging through browser history. ✓ Configurable Archive Retention Choose how long closed tabs stay in your archive—from 1 hour up to 12 months.
