day1tabs is a Chrome extension designed to help users manage browser tab overload by automatically closing tabs at midnight. The extension provides a daily summary showing which tabs were actually used versus those that weren't visited, helping users start each day with a clean browser state.
The extension closes all tabs except those configured as "Never close" domains like Gmail, Docs, and Salesforce. Pinned tabs and the active tab are always protected from closure. Everything remains recoverable until the next automatic close cycle, giving users flexibility while maintaining organization.
Unlike other tab management solutions that only close inactive tabs, day1tabs closes everything except protected content and classifies tabs based on actual usage rather than just time-based inactivity. The daily summary provides clear insight into browsing habits by showing "Used" versus "Didn't use" statistics.
The extension operates with zero data collection, keeping all information local to the user's device. This privacy-focused approach ensures browsing habits remain confidential while still providing valuable tab management functionality.
Built by a solo developer who personally struggled with tab overload, day1tabs is designed for users who accumulate many browser tabs and want to maintain better browsing discipline. The extension is specifically built as a Chrome extension for web browsing productivity.
