How It Works

SleepyTabs monitors your open tabs and puts tabs to sleep that have been inactive for your specified time period. When a tab is sleeping, its contents are unloaded from memory but its visual representation remains in your browser. This significantly reduces memory usage while keeping your tabs organized.

Installation

1. Download the extension from your browser's extension store
2. Click "Add to Browser"
3. Configure your preferences in the extension popup

From Source

If you want to build and test SleepyTabs, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://gitlab.com/satoru8/sleepytabs.git
2. Install dependencies: bun i
3. Run the extension: bun run dev:prod

Usage

Basic Controls

• Put Tab to Sleep: Sleeps the current tab
• Sleep All Tabs: Sleeps all eligible tabs
• Wake All Tabs: Restores all sleeping tabs

Note: The "Put Tab to Sleep" button bypasses whitelist settings and other tab exclusion rules, allowing you to manually sleep any tab. The automatic sleep and "Sleep All Tabs" features will respect your whitelist and other settings.

Configuration Options

• Put tabs to sleep after: Set the inactivity time before tabs sleep (in minutes)
• Put pinned tabs to sleep: When enabled, pinned tabs will also sleep
• Auto-wake tabs when clicked: When enabled, sleeping tabs automatically wake up when clicked
• Themes: Customize the appearance of the sleeping pages
• Wallpaper settings:
• Enable/disable custom wallpapers
• Set custom wallpaper URL
• Adjust wallpaper brightness

Advanced Options

• Customize check interval for inactive tabs
• Set grace period for tab sleeping
• Audible tabs
• Private tabs
• Loading tabs
• Active tabs
• Tabs requesting attention

Whitelist

Add domains or URLs to the whitelist to prevent specific sites from being put to sleep.

Technical Details

SleepyTabs is made for Firefox with support for Chrome.

SleepyTabs is built using browser extension APIs and works by:

1. Monitoring tab activity using browser events
2. Storing tab information in the browser's local storage
3. Replacing inactive tabs with lightweight placeholder pages
4. Restoring tabs to their original state when needed

Privacy

SleepyTabs operates entirely within your browser. No data is sent to external servers, and all tab information is stored locally in your browser's storage.
