Description

Category: Customization & UI

The Disable Tabs plugin enforces a single tab interface by preventing multiple tabs from opening simultaneously. Opening or closing tabs always replaces the current one, even if it's pinned. This creates a focused, distraction free environment where you work with one note at a time. The plugin pairs well with the Hider plugin for hiding the tab bar entirely and includes an option to hide the tabs button on mobile devices.
