TabSnooze

TabSnooze is a Chrome extension designed to help users manage browser memory usage and organize their browsing sessions. By automatically suspending inactive tabs after a user-defined period (with a minimum threshold of one minute), it reclaims RAM, helping to keep Chrome running efficiently. The tool is built for Chrome's Manifest V3 platform, emphasizing speed, privacy, and reliability.

Key features include auto-suspension of tabs not interacted with for a set duration, instant restoration of suspended tabs via a simple click or keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+R), and a smart whitelist that allows users to specify domains that should never be suspended, with support for wildcards. For users who want more organizational tools, TabSnooze offers the ability to save the current set of open tabs as named sessions—such as "Work," "Research," or "Shopping"—and restore them with a single click. Cross-device synchronization of sessions and settings is available as a Pro feature, leveraging the user's Google account to keep Chrome profiles in sync.

TabSnooze is privacy-focused: all data remains on the user's local Chrome storage, with no information sent to external servers, and the tool includes no analytics or tracking. The extension is currently free to use during its launch period, with all features—including unlimited tab suspension, domain whitelisting, named sessions, cross-device sync, keyboard shortcuts, and dark mode—available at no cost. No account is required to install or use TabSnooze, and a 14-day Pro trial is included. Pricing may be introduced in the future.

This extension is intended for Chrome users who manage multiple tabs and wish to optimize memory usage without sacrificing privacy or workflow. By combining tab suspension with session management and privacy safeguards, TabSnooze addresses the needs of those seeking a streamlined and secure browsing experience.
