Clear answers, before you install.

Read the setup guide
What is Tabnivo?
Tabnivo is a Chrome and Edge extension for bookmark and tab care. It checks bookmark links and lets you preview and confirm cleanup of unused bookmarks and idle tabs for free. Automatic care applies the same rules in the background. You can change the timing, protect individual items, or pause automatic care.
What is free, and what needs a plan?
Manual link checks, cleanup previews, confirmed manual cleanup, custom timing, protection, recovery, and backups are free. Paid plans unlock automatic bookmark and tab maintenance in the separate Billing Sandbox build. The regular development download keeps automatic care available for testing without billing. Sandbox payments do not charge real money. Explore the test plans
Which browsers does Tabnivo support?
Tabnivo supports Chrome and Microsoft Edge based on Chromium 121 or later. It runs in normal browser windows, not private or incognito windows. Install it separately in each browser profile you want to use.
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?
The default rules move bookmarks to native Tabnivo Archive after 90 days without a visit and Tabnivo Trash after 180 days. Preview and confirm a manual cleanup for free, or enable automatic care. Both times count from the last visit. Trash is never automatically emptied.
Does Tabnivo permanently delete bookmarks?
No. Link checks only report results and do not move or delete bookmarks. Automatic bookmark care moves eligible items into the native Tabnivo Archive and Tabnivo Trash folders. Tabnivo never automatically empties Trash.
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 is needed for local cleanup. Rules, visit timing, and recovery records stay in your browser profile. The optional Billing Sandbox uses a separate online service to verify paid automatic-care access. 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.
