Rotten Tabs

Helping tab hoarders gently let go. Tabs get grouped and auto-closed — unless you stay on them long enough to prove they matter.

Rotten Tabs helps you fight tab overload by tracking how long each tab stays open. It automatically groups stale tabs, warns you visually, and eventually closes them — but with a twist: you can always save a tab by returning to it and staying focused on it until the countdown badge reaches zero, without switching windows or tabs. 🎯 Minimalist by design No clutter, no complicated settings. One simple slider lets you choose how long tabs are allowed to live (1 to 7 days). That’s it. 🧠 Brutally focused Rotten Tabs doesn’t offer “undo” buttons or restore panels. The only way to save a tab is to prove you need it — just stay on it until the countdown badge hits zero. Features: • Auto-grouping of tabs with visual stages: Rotten Tabs 🤢 → Closing soon 💩 • Countdown timer badge • Option to rescue tabs before time runs out • Auto-closes tabs after their lifespan expires • Adjustable "tab lifespan" via popup • Notifications when a tab is revived 🌱 • No personal data collected — everything runs locally 🚀 How to Use Rotten Tabs 1.
