HOW TAB CLEANUP WORKS
Automatically close inactive tabs after an hour, a day, a week: you choose
Decide how long a tab can sit untouched before cleanup. GoToTab checks quietly in the background and closes anything past your threshold, so a runaway window slims down on its own.
- 1Open Settings and turn on Tab Cleanup (Pro)
- 2Set an inactivity threshold: 1 hour, 1 day, a week, whatever fits
- 3GoToTab checks in the background and closes tabs idle past it
- 4Your window stays lean automatically, no manual closing

Pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, and your whitelist are never touched
Cleanup only ever closes tabs you've genuinely stopped using. Pin the ones you always want open, keep music and calls safe automatically, and whitelist domains you never want touched.
- 1Pinned tabs are protected automatically
- 2Tabs playing audio (music, calls, video) are skipped
- 3Add domains to a whitelist to keep them off-limits
- 4Everything else past your threshold becomes eligible
Closed tabs drop into a searchable archive you can reopen anytime
Auto-close doesn't mean gone. Every tab GoToTab cleans up lands in an archive you can search and reopen in a click, and because it's tied to your account, it's there on all your devices.
- 1Every auto-closed tab is saved to your archive
- 2Search the archive by title or URL
- 3Reopen any tab in one click
- 4The archive syncs across your devices

Questions about tab cleanup
Turn on Tab Cleanup in GoToTab's settings and pick an inactivity threshold, say one day. GoToTab checks in the background and automatically closes tabs you haven't touched since then, dropping each one into a searchable archive so nothing is lost.
No. Every auto-closed tab is saved to an archive you can search and reopen in one click. And cleanup never touches pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, or any domain you've whitelisted.
It closes them and archives them, rather than suspending them in place. Suspending frees memory but leaves the clutter; closing-with-archive actually declutters your window while keeping every page one click away to reopen.
Yes. Pin a tab to keep it open, and it's protected automatically. Tabs playing audio are skipped, and you can whitelist specific sites so they're never cleaned up.
Automatic tab cleanup and the archive are part of Pro ($4/month). The free tab manager still lets you close tabs on demand with slash commands like /sweep and /close.
Yes. With Pro, your archive of closed tabs is tied to your account, so you can search and reopen cleaned-up tabs from any device you're signed in on.
Stop hunting for that one tab.
