Bury the tabs you
forgot to read.

Tab Amnesty watches the tabs you open and never come back to — quietly buries them after a few idle days, then every Monday hands you the few worth keeping.

(02)The pile

You have 200 tabs open. You'll read them later. You won't.

Closing them feels like losing something. So they pile up — across windows, across weeks. Tab Amnesty makes the call for you, and keeps a receipt you can undo.

(03)How it works

Three things happen to a tab you never come back to.

  1. 01

    It watches.

    Tab Amnesty notices which open tabs you actually return to. The ones you never focus again drift toward the edge — quietly, with no nagging and no badges.

  2. 02

    It buries.

    Past your idle window, a forgotten tab is closed and moved to the graveyard. An AI grades each one — worth reading, meh, or junk — with a single plain sentence on why.

  3. 03

    It reports.

    Every Monday, a calm notification: what you opened, what went unread, and the top five worth resurrecting. One glance, then back to work — or a quiet sweep of the pile.

    You opened 47 tabs this week. 41 went unread. Top 5 worth keeping.

A graveyard, not a shredder.

Nothing is deleted behind your back. Buried tabs wait in one calm list — searchable, sortable, and one click from coming back.

  • AI grades the pile

    Each buried tab gets a verdict — worth reading, meh, or junk — and one plain sentence on why.

  • Whitelist what stays

    Some domains never get buried. Add them once; the reaper skips them forever.

  • Set your own pace

    Bury after 1 to 14 days — or a custom window. Purge after 7, 30, 90, or never.

  • Resurrect anytime

(05)Privacy

Your tabs stay yours.

01

Only a title and a URL.

To grade a tab, Tab Amnesty sends just its title and URL — never the page contents, never your browsing history.

02

Your graveyard stays local.

Buried tabs live in your browser’s own storage — no sync, no copy on a server we run. The free tier needs no account at all.

03

The key is never bundled.

The AI key is fetched encrypted at runtime and kept in session memory — off disk, and gone the moment you close Chrome.

(07)Questions

Before you install.

  • No. Buried tabs sit in the graveyard. Resurrect any one within your purge window — 30 days by default, or set it to never expire.

  • Only tabs you leave untouched past your idle threshold. Anything you keep returning to stays open, and whitelisted domains are never touched.

  • Only the title and URL of a buried tab — enough to judge whether it was worth reading. No page contents, no history, nothing else leaves your browser.

  • The core is free — up to 50 AI scores a day, no account needed. Pro removes the daily cap and unlocks Deep scoring for $9.99 a month or $77.99 a year.

  • Chrome and Chromium browsers on Manifest V3. A Firefox build is available too.

Let the forgotten tabs rest.

Install once. Keep opening tabs like always. Read a calm digest every Monday.
