One click, keep working. The tabs you aren't using go on a shelf on your device and come back where you left off.

Why it exists
Tabs pile up because closing them feels like losing them. Tab Shelf makes closing safe: whatever it clears is kept on a shelf you can reopen.
How it works
Set a keep rule
For example, keep the current tab plus the last 5 you used. Everything else is fair game.
Clean in one click
Clean tabs moves the rest onto the shelf. It can include other windows too.
Reopen from the shelf
Open shelf shows what was put away, ready to bring back.
- Keyboard shortcut opens it, then Enter cleans
- Everything is stored locally
- Pro idea in progress: reopen tabs exactly where you left off
