Tuck, a free browser extension, lets users close open tabs and schedule them to reopen later, according to WIRED. The tool offers preset options including later today, tomorrow, the weekend and next week, as well as a text field for entering a time in natural language.

The extension can also automatically close idle tabs and save them in a list. WIRED says this feature is on by default after 24 hours, with settings to change the delay or switch it off. Pinned tabs and tab groups are exempt, and users can exclude specific domains.

WIRED reports that Tuck works with several desktop browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox, and does not require an account. The article says the extension does not collect user information; that claim was not independently verified in the supplied material.

Saved tabs can be available on other devices through each browser’s built-in sync, WIRED says. However, a tab snoozed on one device will not automatically reopen on another. The extension has no mobile app.
