PX7 Markdown Tab Sweeper
Desk Sweeper for your tab bar.
Tab Sweeper is a native Mac menu-bar app that watches your open Safari tabs. The ones you haven't touched in days are archived to plain Markdown and closed — searchable, and reopenable with a click.
No cloud. No account. Nothing closed in your first week — and every archived tab is a file you own.

How it works
Your open tabs, kept honest.
Idle tabs archived
Any Safari tab you haven't touched in 7 days (adjustable) is closed and written to a dated list.
Yours as Markdown
Each archive is a plain .md file in Documents ▸ Tab Sweeper — click any link to reopen the page.
Save all open tabs
Snapshot your whole current session to Markdown on demand — nothing gets closed.
Never-sweep windows
Pin a window and its tabs are left alone. And nothing at all is swept for the first 7 days.
The promise
Nothing you'd miss, ever gone.
A tab only becomes a candidate after it has sat untouched for days — and even then it isn't deleted, it's saved as Markdown and closed. Reopen it whenever you like. Your reading list stops being a wall of tabs and becomes a folder of files you actually own.
Why
Safari never had good stale-tab hygiene.
Tabs pile up until the bar is a smear of favicons you can't read. Tab Sweeper takes Desk Sweeper's idea — file the everyday mess by a simple, safe local rule — and points it at your tab bar. It runs entirely on your Mac and asks for one thing: permission to control Safari.
