Tab Stack is a tab management tool designed to save you from tab overload. Tab Stack closes tabs you haven’t used in a while and allows you to quickly search for and (re)open any tab.
– Set a time limit and Tab Stack will close any tab that’s been open too long
– Quickly search both open and closed tabs
– Keyboard-centric design makes it quick and easy to manage tabs
— Open the tab search with a keyboard shortcut
— Press tab to access search filter
— Lock any tab to prevent it closing, any time, via keyboard shortcut
– Clean, detailed interface makes it easy to keep track of your tabs
– Exemptions for pinned tabs and tabs playing audio
– Badge icons and notifications let you know when a tab is locked
– Highly configurable; light and dark themes!
Coming next
– Set rules to auto-lock tabs based on URL or tab title
– Bug fix: Selecting multiple tab search results (with shift or ctrl/cmd) and pressing the lock shortcut currently appears to lock but does not work. Recommended to only lock one tab at a time via the lock icon or lock shortcut
