FAQ

Tab Wrangler closes tabs for you on a timer. Nest puts you in control: snooze the tabs you choose and set when they come back, or save a whole session to reopen later. You get the same decluttering and memory benefit without tabs vanishing automatically.
Nest favors deliberate control over silent auto-closing. You snooze tabs you’re done with for now (freeing memory) and they reopen on schedule, and you can save sessions to close groups of tabs safely. If you prefer automation, you can lean on snooze schedules.
