# Tab Shepherd

Auto-closes tabs which you haven't used in awhile.

## Features:

* *The Corral*: Stores tabs which have been auto-closed so you can re-open as required.

* *Exclude list*: Provide the urls or domain names of the sites you never want auto-closed.

* *Tab Lock*: Pick open tabs to "lock".  Locked tabs will not be auto-closed.

* *Configurable*: Pick how long a tab should be considered ready to close and how many tabs should be open at a minimum.

* *Smart*: Doesn't autoclose pinned tabs, doesn't close all your tabs, just enough to make your browser usable.

## Usage / Installation

* Install the extension

* Click on the icon next to the URL bar.

* Tab Corral

  * Stores tabs which have been auto-closed.

* Tab Lock

  * Selectively lock tabs which you want to stay open

* Options

  * Whitelist certain URLs to never be closed.

  * Set the # of minutes to wait before closing an inactive tab.

  * Set the ideal # of tabs to have in your browser.

## Todo:

* Pause the auto-close behavior if the browser has been idle
