Tap Cap, Groups & Focus Sessions

Most tab tools do one thing — Tab Wrangler closes idle tabs, OneTab collapses them, Session Buddy saves them. Focus Limit does all three, plus what none of them do: a real tab limit (hard or soft) with automatic category grouping and timed focus sessions — designed to feel calm, not punishing. Hit your limit and get a friendly dashboard with snooze options, not a scary block. Runs entirely locally. Free, no paywalls, no accounts. Built for people who lose focus in tab clutter, not against them.
Love the calm approach instead of slamming the door on you. One thing I'd suggest: a quick way to whitelist certain sites from the tab limit, like my music tab or a reference doc I'm actively using, so the dashboard only nudges me about the tabs that are actually distracting.
@yaz2029848 Thank you for installing it and actually putting it to use, and for taking the time to write this out. It means a lot.
You're describing something that already exists, just not in the quick way you're picturing. There's a whitelist in Settings where you can add specific domains that never count toward your tab limit at all, so your music tab or an actively used reference doc would simply be excluded rather than tracked or nudged about.
What doesn't exist yet is a fast way to do that without opening Settings. Right now you have to go type the domain in manually. I think a one click "exempt this tab" option, sitting next to the lock button that already exists for idle auto close, would close that gap properly. Adding that.
Love that hitting your limit opens a friendly dashboard with snooze options instead of slamming the door. That kind of small UX choice is what makes a tool like this feel like it was built by someone who actually has too many tabs, not someone trying to virtue signal productivity.
@serifepusk59090 Thank you for installing it and giving it a real shot, and for writing this. Comments like this are exactly why I keep working on it.
I built this because my own tab bar had gotten out of control, not because I wanted to lecture anyone about focus or productivity. The snooze buttons and the calm dashboard instead of a hard block came directly from noticing how bad it felt when a tool scolded me for something I already felt a little guilty about. Really glad that came through.
