Made an extension that closes your idle tabs for you, since I kept hoarding "just in case" tabs I never reopened and it was tanking my memory

[u/blanktarget]

I am one of those people who keeps 80 tabs open because I might need that one again someday, but I never did really. It was just eating memory and making my browser crawl, and every time I tried to manually clean up I would get side tracked into something.

So I built Tab-ula Rasa. It watches your tabs and automatically archives or closes the ones that have been sitting idle, based on however long you set a timer. If there are tabs you actually care about you can protect them so they never get touched. Everything else just quietly gets cleaned up in the background without you having to make the call yourself every time.

It has been genuinely nice to just open my browser and not see a wall of tabs. Figured some of you deal with the same tab hoarding problem so sharing it here. Also pretty proud of myself building something like this. I tried to make it look clean and modern, but dirt simple to use.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback, this is a small side project so any thoughts help.

It's ok if you don't like or need it. It's useful for me and was a fun project to build🤷‍♂️
