Website tab cleanup guide

How to close all Safari tabs from one website

Find every open Safari tab from one website, review the group, and close pages individually or use a TabCaptain Premium group action.

Short answer

How to close all Safari tabs from one website

Safari can close selected tabs, but the tab bar may not place every page from one website together. TabCaptain can group the open-tab list by domain, show the pages and count for that website, and let you close them individually. Closing a whole site group in one action requires Lifetime Premium.

Step by step

Step by step

1

Open domain grouping

Open TabCaptain and choose the view that groups open tabs by website domain.

2

Find the website

Search for the domain or scan the group list, then expand the matching website.

3

Review every page

Check for drafts, account pages, media and other state that should not be interrupted.

4

Close individually or as a group

Close selected tabs for free, or use the Lifetime Premium close-group action after reviewing the full set.

Why domain grouping helps

Pages from one website can be scattered across Safari windows and separated by unrelated tabs. Selecting them manually is possible but requires finding every occurrence first. A domain group turns the website into a visible review set without moving the live tabs.

A shared domain does not mean every page is disposable. One group may contain a draft, a dashboard, documentation and several finished searches. Expand it before acting.

Use Safari selection for a small known set

If all relevant tabs are visible, Command-click each one and close the selection. Shift-click is useful for a contiguous range. These built-in methods are precise and need no extension.

When the pages are dispersed, TabCaptain's domain view is faster to inspect. Viewing the group and closing individual tabs are free. The action that closes an entire website group is part of Lifetime Premium.

Avoid closing useful state

Save form work, finish uploads and note any playback or application state before closing. Safari history or TabCaptain closed-tab history can reopen addresses, but a website may not restore unsaved state. If the website group represents a reusable project, a saved Premium session may be more appropriate than deletion.

  • Expand the full domain group.
  • Keep pages with live or unsaved state.
  • Use individual close for selective cleanup.
  • Use a group action only after review.
