Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Export tabs to Markdown, CSV, JSON, or plain text. Fully customizable line templates with live preview.

The Chosen

Define domains and URLs that always survive. Add exceptions from the right-click context menu in one shot.

One-click burial

Hit "Bury the Rest". Doomed tabs are archived, then closed. Clean browser, full record. Zero guilt.

Live side panel

A persistent tab manager, always open. Real-time status dots, per-tab protect toggle, search, scope switch.

Resurrect

Changed your mind? One click restores every tab from the last cleanup. The graveyard gives back.

Keyboard shortcuts

How it works

Three steps to a clean browser

01
Define The Chosen

Add the domains and URLs you always want open — GitHub, Notion, email, whatever survives every sweep.

02
Hit "Bury the Rest"

All doomed tabs get archived to a file, then closed. The Chosen stay open. Everything else is safely entombed.

03
Done. Stay sane.

Clean browser, zero guilt, full archive. Change your mind? Hit Resurrect. The graveyard file is always there.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. Tabracadaver always exports your tabs to a file before closing them. You keep a full record of everything that was buried. And if you change your mind right away — hit Resurrect. It restores the entire last session instantly.
Markdown (.md), CSV (.csv), JSON (.json), and plain text (.txt). Each format has a fully customizable line template — choose which tokens appear: title, URL, domain, last accessed, tab annotations, and more.
You define rules by exact URL, domain, domain + subdomains, or tab group name. Any matching tab is spared during cleanup. Add rules from the options page, the right-click menu, or the quick-protect toggle in the side panel.
Yes. Use the scope toggle to switch between "This window" and "All windows". Both archive and cleanup respect the selected scope, and the side panel updates in real time for whichever scope you pick.
