Decluttr is a free, open-source browser extension that helps you clean up your tabs with a fun, Tinder-style swipe interface. It pulls tabs from all your open windows into a card deck — swipe left to close, swipe right to keep. No more tab hoarding.
Built for knowledge workers who chronically accumulate 30-100+ tabs across projects, research, and rabbit holes.
- Swipe to decide — Intuitive card UI powered by touch, mouse, or keyboard (
←/→,J/K) - All windows, one deck — Pulls tabs from every open browser window
- Smart duplicates — Detects and groups duplicate tabs so you can close extras in one swipe
- Stale tabs first — Sorts by least recently used so the tabs you forgot about surface first
- Undo — Made a mistake? Hit
UorCtrl+Zto undo the last swipe - Immediate closing — Tabs close the moment you swipe left. No waiting.
- Summary stats — See how many tabs you closed, kept, and how long it took
- Rescue list — Review all tabs marked for closing before confirming, rescue any with one click
- Settings — Sort order, excluded domains, and more
- Cross-browser — Chrome (MV3) and Firefox (MV2) from a single codebase
