Safari extension · iPhone, iPad, and Mac

Keep new tabs from taking over.

Tab Guard keeps selected websites in the tab you are using. Choose the sites. Keep exceptions. Leave ordinary browsing alone.

App Store release in progress.

Safari nativeiOS 18+ and macOS 15+

Focused control

Block the tab, not the whole web.

Choose which sites should keep links and forms in the current tab. Use * only when you need a broader match.

Whitelist patterns always win. A protected subdomain can stay free to open new tabs when that is the useful behavior.

Same-tab links are unchanged. Tab Guard acts only on sites you configured and only when a new tab is being created.

Private by design

No account, analytics, browsing-history collection, remote filter lists, or advertising. Tab Guard has no product backend.
