TabPilot is live on Product Hunt. It’s a safer Chrome tab cleanup tool for developers, researchers, and AI-heavy workflows. It protects active work tabs and puts only inactive tabs to sleep — with no tracking or external servers.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built TabPilot because my browser kept getting overloaded while coding and researching with AI. I often had ChatGPT, Claude, docs, GitHub, Stack Overflow, dashboards, and test pages open at the same time. Most tab cleanup tools felt either too aggressive or too heavy, so I wanted something more conservative.
TabPilot does not close your tabs. It protects active work and puts only inactive tabs to sleep using Chrome’s native tab discard behavior.
The main idea is simple: Keep important tabs. Sleep the forgotten ones.
A few things I cared about while building it: - active, pinned, audible, loading, and protected tabs are skipped - automatic cleanup is off by default - settings and cleanup history stay local in Chrome - no tracking, analytics, ads, or external servers
The English version was just approved on the Chrome Web Store, so I’m starting to share it more broadly.
I’d love feedback from developers, researchers, and anyone who lives with too many browser tabs.
