Keep the good links.
Find bookmarks that need attention. Missing pages, restricted access, and timeouts get their own results. A link check never deletes anything.

Less clutter.
More clarity.
Your bookmarks and tabs deserve a little breathing room. Keep links useful, put old bookmarks away, and let idle tabs rest.

Three thoughtful ways to look after the things you save—and the tabs you leave open.
02 / MAKE ROOM
A home for “maybe later.”
Move unused bookmarks into native Archive and Trash folders. Start with 90 and 180 days, or set your own pace. Trash is never automatically emptied.

Let idle tabs take a break.
After 7 days without activation, save a recovery record before closing a tab. Pinned, active, audio-playing, and protected tabs stay right where they are.

YOUR BROWSER. YOUR CALL.A little automation.
A little automation.
A lot of control.
Care should feel comfortable. Choose the timing, protect what matters, and pause whenever you like.
- Settings and recovery records stay local.
- Changes wait until a recovery record is saved.
- Link checks run when you choose.
How do I install Tabnivo?
Download the development build, unzip it, and use “Load unpacked” in Chrome or Edge’s extensions page. It is a manual installation, rather than a browser store release. Follow the installation guide
What happens to my old bookmarks?
By default, bookmarks move to the native Tabnivo Archive folder after 90 days without a visit, then to Tabnivo Trash after 180 days. Both times count from the last visit. Trash is never automatically emptied, and you can change or pause these rules.
Will it close a tab I’m using?
Active, pinned, audio-playing, manually protected, navigating, and special browser tabs are kept open. Before closing an eligible idle tab, Tabnivo saves a local recovery record and checks its activity and protection again.
Can I restore a change?
Yes. Use Records to restore recorded bookmark moves or closed tabs. Tab recovery records are kept locally for 30 days; bookmark move records do not expire under that rule. Unsaved forms, page edits, and login state cannot be restored. Uninstalling the extension removes its local records.
Does Tabnivo need an account?
No account or cloud service is needed. Rules, visit timing, and recovery records stay in your browser profile. When you choose to check links, Tabnivo requests access to contact those websites. Read the privacy details
What if a bookmark has no visit history?
Missing history is treated as unknown, not “never visited.” Tabnivo starts observing it from that point. The browser’s available history limits what Tabnivo can learn about earlier visits.
A little less open.
A little more headspace.
Make room for what you’re here to do.
