Your browser, quietly tidied.
TabWipe automatically closes or suspends inactive tabs on a schedule you set — while protecting pinned tabs, active meetings, media, and the sites you actually care about.
Works with Chrome, Edge, Brave and Arc · 100% local, no accounts · Free forever
TabWipe
Tab ManagerCleanup that respects your workflow
Every feature is designed to save memory without ever surprising you or losing something important.
Automatic sweeping
Set a custom interval — every 15 minutes, every 4 hours, or manual-only. TabWipe runs quietly in the background.
Close or suspend
Choose Close (with full undo) to free memory completely, or Suspend to keep tabs in place while reclaiming RAM.
Advance warnings
A gentle OS notification and in-popup countdown appear before any sweep. One click keeps everything open.
Protected domains
Whitelist any site to keep it safe forever — with optional per-domain tab caps to keep even the important ones tidy.
Full tab history
Your last 100 closed tabs stay one click away — restore them individually or bring back a whole batch.

TabWipe will never close a tab that matters.
Before every sweep, TabWipe checks against a set of hard rules. If a tab matches even one, it's left alone — no exceptions.
- Pinned tabs are always kept
- Tabs playing audio or video
- Live meetings — Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex, Whereby
- Whitelisted protected domains
- Anything you've used recently
Runs entirely on your machine.
TabWipe has no backend. No accounts, no analytics, no servers. Your settings sync only through your own Chrome profile, and your tab history never leaves your device.
No sign-up. No telemetry. No tracking.
Questions, answered
Does TabWipe send my browsing data anywhere?+
No. TabWipe runs entirely on your machine. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no servers. The only data leaving your browser is what Chrome's own sync feature already syncs across your devices.
What happens if I'm in a meeting when a sweep runs?+
Tabs playing audio or video, and known meeting sites (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, Webex, Whereby), are always excluded from sweeps — no matter how long they've been open.
Can I get my tabs back if TabWipe closes one by mistake?+
Yes. TabWipe keeps the last 100 closed tabs in history — you can restore them individually or in a batch with one click. If a full sweep just happened, one Undo brings everything back.
Is it really free?+
Yes. TabWipe is free forever. If it saves you time, you can leave a tip via Buy Me a Coffee — but there's no paywall, no premium tier, and no ads.
Which browsers work with TabWipe?+
TabWipe is a Manifest V3 extension, so it runs in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers.
