Description
Schedules the opening and closing of preset webpages at designated times. Schedule Tabs to Open and Close Your browser should already be ready when you sit down. Every morning looks the same. You open the browser, then type the same handful of addresses one at a time: the team dashboard, the shared inbox, the project board. Every evening those tabs are still sitting there, long past useful, eating memory and cluttering the window. Schedule Tabs to Open and Close takes both halves of that routine off your hands. Tell it which pages you want and when, and they appear on their own. Tell it when you are finished, and they close on their own. Nothing to remember, nothing to click. WHAT IT DOES Schedule Tabs to Open and Close is a lightweight scheduler for your browser tabs. You build a short list of rules. Each rule holds one or more web addresses, a time of day to open them, and an optional instruction for when to close them again. The extension repeats that rule every day at the time you picked, using your computer's own clock and time zone. That is the whole idea. No account, no sign-up, no dashboard to learn. Open the popup, type an address, pick a time, and you are done. KEY FEATURES Daily automatic opening. Set a time and the page opens itself at that time, every day. Your morning reading, your timesheet reminder, your standup call link. Several pages in one rule. Put more than one address in a single rule by separating them with a semicolon or a comma. All of them open together at the scheduled moment, so an entire workspace arrives in one go. Automatic closing, two ways. Choose "close after a set number of minutes" to give a page a fixed lifespan of anywhere from one minute to 999. Or choose "close at a specific time" if the page should stay open until a fixed point in the day, such as the end of a shift. If you would rather keep a tab, simply leave closing switched off. An on/off switch on every rule. Keep a schedule in your list without deleting it. Flip it off during a holiday, flip it back on when you return. Your settings stay exactly where you left them. Grab the page you are on. The "Current Url" button drops the address of your active tab straight into a rule, so you never have to copy and paste a long link. Your settings follow you. Schedules are stored in your browser's own sync storage. Sign in to the same browser profile on another computer and your rules come with you. A clean, readable popup. Simple rows, clear labels, a 24-hour time picker, and instant feedback when something is wrong. Nothing hidden behind menus. Available in more than forty languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese. GETTING STARTED Click the toolbar icon to open the panel. Type or paste a web address into the first row. Click the time field and choose the hour and minute you want the page to appear. If you want it to close again, pick a closing option and set the number of minutes or the closing time. Press Save. That is it. Use the Add button for more rules, the trash icon to remove one, and the switch on the right to pause one without losing it. WHO IT IS FOR People who start work at a fixed hour and open the same tools every time. Remote teams with a daily call that always needs the same link. Students with a timetable. Anyone who would rather not rely on memory to check a site at a set hour. Anyone who wants a distracting page to close itself after twenty minutes instead of staying open all afternoon. Shift workers whose tools should appear at the start of a shift and vanish at the end. PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS This extension asks for as little as it possibly can. It requests permission to store your settings, to use the browser's alarm timer, and to read the address of the tab you are currently on, and only at the moment you press the "Current Url" button. It does not ask for access to your browsing history. It does not read the content of the pages you visit. It has no permission to reach any website on your behalf. There are no analytics, no trackers, and no advertising. Your schedules never leave your browser, and nothing is sent to us or to anyone else. Everything runs locally on your own machine, and it keeps working without an internet connection. A SMALL TOOL THAT SAVES REAL TIME Fifteen clicks a morning is an hour a month. This is a small, quiet utility that hands that hour back and asks for nothing in return. Install it, spend two minutes setting up your day, and let your browser do the rest.
