01 The Problem

47 tabs. One tiny browser.

~40%

of tabs people keep open are forgotten within 10 minutes of opening them.

50MB

average RAM usage per open Chrome tab. Your laptop has thoughts about this.

0

tools built to help you decide. Until now.

02 One-Click Cleanup

Sorted in one
click.

Open the popup. TabNoodle reads every tab across every window, scores them, and shows you the verdict. Confirm, and it's done.

  • Every tab gets a keep / archive / close recommendation
  • Full undo — nothing is ever gone for good
  • Media auto-pauses when the popup opens (your music survives)
  • Consolidates windows across your Chrome profile
03 Swipe Mode

Tinder for tabs.

Decisions are hard. TabNoodle makes them one at a time. Left arrow to close, right arrow to keep. You'll cruise through 50 tabs in under a minute.

  • Keyboard-first — ← and → do everything
  • See the favicon, title, and category before you decide
  • Undo the last close at any point
  • Works great at 11pm when your tab count finally snaps you

04 Auto-Grouping

Every tab,
auto-grouped.

TabNoodle reads your tabs and files them by category — Docs, Articles, Media, Tools, Searches. Your tab bar finally makes sense.

  • Review mode lets you see every decision before confirming
  • Bulk actions per category — close all Media with one click
  • Per-tab rescue — keep that one important thing from the pile
  • Respects pinned, audible, and active tabs automatically

05 Aggressiveness

Gentle or ruthless.

You set the dial. TabNoodle closes as much — or as little — as you're comfortable with. No nagging, no defaults-that-aren't-really-defaults.

Gentle Balanced Ruthless
01 — Gentle
Only the obvious.
Closes duplicate tabs and long-forgotten searches. Keeps anything you've touched in the last hour.
~20% of tabs closed
02 — Balanced
Sensible sweep.
Clears media, profile pickers, and low-engagement tabs. Keeps your Docs, Tools, and active research.
~50% of tabs closed
03 — Ruthless
Inbox zero vibes.
If it's not pinned, playing audio, or the active tab, it's gone. For when you really need to start fresh.
~80% of tabs closed
