Latr Ours
Tab snoozer
Tab Manager Plus is about what is open now: find it, move it, close it. Latr has the same kind of overview - every tab in every window, filtered as you type, duplicates marked, a tab limit that opens a new window - and asks for tab access only when you first open that screen. Latr then adds the part Tab Manager Plus does not list: closing a tab with a time and getting it back.
Covers 3 of Tab Manager Plus’s 3 features. Adds: brings a tab back at a time you choose, repeating reminders, reopens at the line you stopped reading, saves sessions automatically, keeps tab groups, puts idle tabs away automatically, folders or collections of saved pages, import and export, share a list of tabs, focus timer with site blocking, sync between computers.
Unlike Tab Manager Plus, it also runs on Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, and, like Tab Manager Plus, it is free to start (Free; Pro is $19 once, for themes, sounds and extras).
Choose Latr over Tab Manager Plus if you want an open-tab overview and a way to close tabs with a time, without granting tab access at install.
