Tab Sleep – Auto Suspend Idle Tabs

Overview

Tab Sleep automatically puts your idle browser tabs to sleep freeing up RAM without closing them or losing your work. If you're the type who keeps 20, 30, or 50+ tabs open at once, you already know the problem: Chrome slows down, your fan spins up, and your laptop struggles to keep up. Tab Sleep fixes this by discarding tabs you haven't touched in a while, while keeping them right where they are in your tab bar — just one click away from reloading exactly where you left off. HOW IT WORKS Set your preferred idle time (5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes), and Tab Sleep quietly suspends tabs that have been inactive that long. Click a suspended tab anytime to instantly restore it. WHAT WON'T BE TOUCHED - Your currently active tab - Tabs playing audio or video - Pinned tabs - Any site you've added to your whitelist - The last open tab in a window FEATURES - Custom idle timer - Whitelist for sites you never want suspended - Right-click menu to suspend tabs manually - One-click "Suspend All" / "Suspend Others" - Keyboard shortcut support - Lightweight — no bloat, no unnecessary permissions Whether you're a researcher with dozens of reference tabs, a developer juggling docs and dashboards, or just someone whose laptop can't handle too many tabs at once, Tab Sleep helps your browser breathe easier. No account needed. No data collected. Just a simple tool that does one job well.
