# QuIt Tabs – Automatically Close Inactive Tabs

**Every tab gets a countdown. Tabs you don’t return to are closed.**

QuIt Tabs is a browser extension focused on automatically **quitting inactive tabs**.  
Each tab starts a countdown when it becomes inactive. If the timer expires before you return, the tab is closed.

## 🚀 How QuIt Tabs Works

* **Universal Countdown**  
  Every background tab receives an inactivity countdown.

* **Per-Domain Time Customization**  
  You can assign different countdown durations for specific websites  
  (for example: news sites close faster, documentation sites stay open longer).

* **Clear and Predictable Behavior**  
  No conditional rules or automation logic.  
  Tabs are closed only when their countdown reaches zero.

## 🛡 Tab Protection

* **Active Tab Protection** – The tab you are currently viewing is never closed.
* **Media Protection** – Tabs playing audio or video remain open.
* **Pinned Tab Protection** – Pinned tabs are excluded from countdown.
* **Manual Protection** – Protect any tab with a single click.

## ⏱ Visual Countdown

See exactly how much time remains before a tab is closed, directly in the extension popup.

---

## 🪟 Single Window Mode

When enabled, tabs in unfocused windows continue counting down, ensuring only tabs you are actively using stay open.

---

## 🧹 Quick Quit Tools

* **Quit All** – Close all countdown tabs at once (protected tabs are respected).
* **Merge Duplicates** – Close duplicate URLs with a single action.
* **Batch Actions** – Quit, protect, or unprotect multiple tabs instantly.
