Description
Automatically close unused tabs and keep your browser clean.
Stop drowning in open tabs and reclaim your focus.
We all do it. You open a tab "just for a second," and days later it's still open—buried under 40 other tabs. A cluttered browser slows you down, makes it harder to find what you need, and constantly distracts you.
TabZero is an automatic tab manager that closes inactive tabs for you.
Think of it as a quiet digital housekeeper for your browser. TabZero watches your open tabs and automatically closes the ones you haven't used in a while—so your browser stays clean without constant manual cleanup.
✨ Why You'll Love TabZero

Stay Focused
Fewer tabs means less distraction and a clearer workspace.
Set It Once, Forget It
TabZero runs quietly in the background—no micromanagement needed.
⚙️ How It Works
Choose a Time Limit
Decide how long inactive tabs should stay open (30 minutes, 2 hours, 1 day, or more).

If a tab isn't used within that time, TabZero closes it for you.
