Tabs you stopped looking at, one search away.

A tab starts aging when you leave it, and only time at the computer counts. Sleep, a closed browser and ten minutes without input don't age your tabs. After 12 hours Ebb closes the tab and adds it to the archive. You can pick 3 hours, 1 day, 7 days or 30 days instead.

Some tabs never go:

• pinned tabs, and tabs in a group unless you turn that off
• tabs playing audio
• the active tab in each window, and both panes of a split view you're looking at
• any tab you keep, or any site you never want archived. Right-click the page for either.

Installing Ebb doesn't archive your backlog. Tabs start aging at install.

Press ⌘ Shift E on a Mac, Alt Shift E elsewhere, or click Ebb's toolbar icon to open the archive in the side panel. ↑ and ↓ pick a result, Enter reopens it and Shift Delete forgets it. From the address bar, type ebb and a space, then search.

A reopened tab gets its back and forward history back while it's among the browser's 25 most recently closed tabs.

Clear window archives every unprotected tab in the window at once, with ten seconds to undo. Tabs archived together come back together with Reopen all.

If at least 15% of the last 20 or more tabs Ebb archived came back within a day, the archive suggests the next longer time. Reopen one site three times in a week and Ebb offers to keep that site. It never changes a setting on its own, and a suggestion you dismiss stays quiet.

Ebb has no server and makes no network requests. The archive stays on your device. Ebb reads the titles and addresses of your tabs, never what's on the pages. The privacy policy lists everything it stores, and the source code explains each permission.
