Clean My Tabs: save, organise +4

Great simple to use app

Good app however some functions do not work anymore:

When selecting tabs and pressing the ‘safari’ icon it does not complete the action, instead the url bar keeps attempting “ https://clean-my …../“ and never loads any of the webpages like it use to. It only displays:
“ Restoring tabs...
Page may reload in progress”.

Currently I use the work around using ‘share button ‘ and then opener -> safari

Thanks for your feedback. Could you please clarify what exactly stopped working?

Not as useful as tab groups + bookmarks

I don’t really understand the purpose of this app when Safari has the capability to create tab groups that you can then save into individual bookmark folders. Once you clear the selected tabs into Clean My Tabs, they are not actually grouped into some kind of folder in the app because as soon as you do it again with more tabs in Safari, those tabs are just added into the one list in Clean My Tabs with the previous tabs you cleared. Then if you archive them in the app it’s the same thing where it just goes into one group of archived tabs even if they were saved at different times. Even just a small feature isn’t available - the ability to “select all” tabs in the app. Maybe I’m missing something but the capabilities of this app just don’t seem to surpass Safari’s own features to me.

If it’s just that someone doesn’t want to utilize Safari’s tab groups feature, there are also great bookmarking apps that can be used instead - and can also be used for tabs in Chrome. For example, Anybox is one of my faves - you can group tabs, use tags to categorize them, reorganize any tabs, favorite them, and more.

If I’m somehow missing something huge in this app, I apologize for the negative review.

Thanks for review and your time. This app is built around single personal use case, let me explain.

Some people (including me) have a lot of tabs in browser. Some tabs are waiting to be read later, some of them should be closed permanently, some requires actions or decision to be made. But when I have 50 or 70 of them, it is hard to understand what is going on here. I want to have nice and clean browser session, and at the same time I don’t want to close these tabs completely (I could miss something important) neither I want to bookmark them all right now. So this app allow me to clean my tabs in browser right now and process them later.

Not sure if I could achieve same effect with built-in safari features. And as tiny bonus - I could share multiple urls at once, just URLs or with page titles from Clean My Tabs.

But you are right, this app has very limited functionality. And because of this, app is completely free.
It is completely fine if app doesn't fit everyone. So if you need bookmarks manager app, tags or categories - there are a lot of apps to let you do so. This app is not one of them, you are right once again.

Hope it helps. Have a nice day

This is so useful

I really wished for an extension like this. I would just appreciate some more features like to extract tabs without closing them, and to save to a txt or csv file.
