Does anything I browse leave my device?
No. ypuf has no servers and makes no tracking requests. Page text is extracted and searched entirely on your machine. The only network requests come from optional panels you add to your new tab (like an RSS feed), to the source you picked.
Will it slow my browser down?
No — quite the opposite. Fewer open tabs means less memory. The index is a lightweight local search store; recall runs in milliseconds.
When does ypuf decide to close a tab?
Only once you turn auto-let-go on — it's off until you do. Then it lets a tab go after it's sat quiet (untouched) for a while: you pick Timid (~7 days), Balanced (~3, the default), or Bold (~1). It never closes pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, unsaved forms, or sites you protect — and when you reopen something it let go, it learns to keep that site for you (your "never-touch" list).
What happens to a tab when it's "let go"?
It closes, but its content is saved to your local recall index first. There's always an instant undo, and you can search it back anytime. ypuf never touches pinned tabs, tabs playing audio, logins, unsaved forms, or sites you protect.
Does my recall history ever get deleted?
Not on a timer — everything you let go stays searchable. ypuf only trims when its local index nears your browser's storage limit, and then it drops the oldest, least-used pages first (anything past ~6 months goes first). You can also forget any page — or a whole site — yourself, anytime.
What's the catch — is it really free?
It's free and open source (MIT). No accounts, no upsell, no data business. ypuf's whole promise is calm, and that includes how it treats you.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome today (Manifest V3). Other Chromium browsers are likely to work; Firefox and Safari are later.
