Finally, a humane solution to tab overpopulation.

Tabicide quietly works in the background so you don't have to remember which tabs to close. Open a tab, set a timer, and move on with your day.

⏱ Set and Forget

Choose from quick presets or enter your own custom time.

🕐 Top of Hour

Schedule a tab to disappear at the next hour with one click.

📑 Per-tab Timers

Every tab keeps its own countdown without getting mixed up.

🚀 Less Clutter

Keep your browser cleaner, calmer, and easier to manage.

How it works

Open the tab you want to control, click the Tabicide icon, choose your timer, and let it do the dirty work. When the countdown ends, the tab closes automatically.

1. Open a tab

Use Tabicide on the page you want to auto-close.

2. Set a timer

Pick 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, custom minutes, or top of hour.

3. Walk away

The tab closes when time is up. No babysitting required.

4. Cancel anytime

Changed your mind? Cancel the timer before the tab gets taken out.

Common symptoms of tab overload

  • "I'll read this later."
  • 84 open tabs.
  • Browser using way too much memory.
  • Can't find the tab that's actually playing audio.
  • Three windows open and somehow none of them are useful.
