Idle tabs go to sleep
After a timer you choose — 5 minutes to 4 hours — tabs you haven't touched are gently rested. Memory comes back; nothing closes, nothing leaves the tab bar.

Your tabs rest. Your work doesn't. Tabveil is a tab suspender that puts idle tabs to sleep with the browser's own discard, keeps every tab in place, protects unsaved work and gives the memory back — with powerful controls, beautiful design and zero friction.
Keep your essential tools like Gmail, Notion, Slack and more always awake.
ProSet intelligent rules for exactly what stays awake, and when.
ProSave and restore whole windows with their groups. Never lose a tab again.
ProYour sessions follow you across devices, automatically.
ProSee memory saved, tabs managed, and your browsing habits over time.
ProChoose the look that fits your flow. Calm, focused, and easy on the eyes.
Tabveil is built for people who live in their tabs — researchers, creators, developers, and teams. Stay in flow, keep what matters awake, and let the rest sleep.
Tabveil uses the browser's own native discard, so sleeping tabs stay in your tab bar, keep their title and favicon, and come back with one click.
After a timer you choose — 5 minutes to 4 hours — tabs you haven't touched are gently rested. Memory comes back; nothing closes, nothing leaves the tab bar.
The tab you're on, pinned tabs, tabs playing sound and calls or meetings stay awake (each is a toggle, on by default), and with Protect unsaved forms on, neither does a half-written message. Add any site to the never-sleep list, or let Pro protect 40+ work apps and apply rules by site, group, work hours or memory.
Click a sleeping tab and it reloads. Sleep this tab, sleep others, wake all or keep awake from the popup, the side panel or a shortcut.
The toolbar moon wanes as more of the window falls asleep, with a small count of sleeping tabs.
Keep calls and meetings awake, and keep a half-written message safe with form protection.
Clear tabs into a session or a read-later list, and bring them back asleep when you want them.
Restore deleted items for 30 days, keep backups, and organise sessions with folders and tags.
Recover tabs left behind by The Great Suspender and similar extensions. Import from OneTab, Session Buddy, Tab Session Manager, Toby, Workona and bookmarks.
tvSearch tabs and commands from the popup, or type tv in the address bar to search Tabveil.
Pause for 30 minutes, an hour or until tomorrow. Tabs sleep sooner while your computer is idle, and never sleep while you're offline.

The built-in saver will happily discard the tab you were about to come back to. Tabveil gives you the controls — and keeps the rest out of your way.

Warm, calm and easy to read in daylight.
Deep and quiet for late sessions.
Free stays free. Pro only adds. Monthly and yearly plans start with a 7-day free trial (card required, $0 today). One key works on two browsers or devices, Pro keeps working offline for 30 days, and checkout is handled by Gumroad — Tabveil never sees your card. All Pro purchases are final.
No. Tabveil uses the browser's native discard, so a sleeping tab stays right where it is in your tab bar, with its title and favicon. Click it and it reloads; Pro adds scroll & video restore so you land back mid-page or mid-video. And because tabs stay normal browser tabs, removing Tabveil never closes them.
By default: the tab you're on, pinned tabs, tabs playing sound, calls and meetings, browser pages and tabs you mark "Keep awake". Turn on "Protect unsaved forms" and a half-written message is never put to sleep. Add any site to the never-sleep list in one click; Pro adds 40+ Protected Apps like Gmail, Notion, Figma and Slack.
No. No accounts, no analytics, no ads. Free use contacts no Tabveil server in the background, and the optional form check never saves or sends what you type. Pro uses Tabveil's license server, which receives your key and an install id and stores your purchase email, but never your tabs. Pro session sync travels through Chrome sync, not a Tabveil server (browser sync holds about 100 KB, enough for a few dozen sessions). Removing the extension deletes what Tabveil stored on this device. Read the full privacy policy.
Any Chromium-based browser on Windows, macOS and Linux: Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave and Opera. Install it from the Chrome Web Store in any of them.
A workspace is a window that saves itself: its tabs, groups and order. Keep each project in its own window and come back to it in one click — tabs open asleep, so switching costs nothing. Free includes 3 workspaces; Pro raises that to 200.
Same mechanism, your rules. Memory Saver decides on its own. Tabveil lets you choose the timer, protect the sites and tabs that matter, keep forms safe and save sessions — and it stops Memory Saver from discarding tabs you marked "Keep awake".
Free forever, no account, no tracking. Install Tabveil and feel your browser calm down in seconds.
