Tuck lets you snooze browser tabs until you need them

A free extension hides open tabs and reopens them at a time you choose, or closes idle ones automatically.

In brief

A free extension hides open tabs and reopens them at a time you choose, or closes idle ones automatically. Tuck, a free browser extension, lets you snooze open tabs to reopen later or automatically closes idle tabs, helping manage browser clutter. Originally reported by WIRED.

The tab problem

Browser tabs pile up fast. You end up drowning in pages you don't remember opening, or keeping tabs open because you know you'll need them later.

“Tabs are the best. They're also the worst.”

Tuck snoozes tabs like Gmail snoozes emails

Tuck is a free browser extension that hides tabs until a time you choose, like Gmail's snooze feature for emails. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Brave, Arc, Vivaldi and others.

Click the owl icon to snooze

Click the owl icon to snooze

After installing Tuck, click the owl icon in your browser bar. You'll see snoozing options: Later today, Tomorrow, Weekend, and Next week. The tab closes and reopens at the time you chose.

Keyboard shortcuts and natural language

Windows users can press Ctrl-Shift-one, two, or three to snooze tabs. macOS users press Cmd-Shift-one, two, or three. You can also type a time like Monday at two pm and the extension understands it.

Auto-close idle tabs after 24 hours

By default, Tuck automatically closes tabs left idle for 24 hours and saves them to a list. You can change this to three hours, 12 hours, three days, or seven days, or turn it off entirely.

No account needed, syncs across devices

Tuck requires no account and doesn't gather information about you. It syncs tabs using your browser's built-in syncing: Chrome via Google account, Firefox via Firefox Sync, Safari via iCloud. No mobile app exists.

“Chrome syncs with Chrome (via your Google account), Firefox with Firefox (via Firefox Sync), and Safari syncs across your Macs via iCloud.”

The bottom line

Tuck, a free browser extension, lets you snooze open tabs to reopen later or automatically closes idle tabs, helping manage browser clutter.
