Slumber — Tab Suspender

Slumber suspends tabs you are not using, freeing up memory and reducing CPU load — without compromising your privacy or your wallet. WHY SLUMBER? 3 permissions only — tabs, storage, alarms. Nothing else. No broad host access, no history, no webNavigation. Zero telemetry — no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Your browsing stays on your device. No subscription — $4.99 once for Pro. Free tier is fully functional with no tab limit. Your license travels with you — Pro status syncs automatically across all your Chrome devices via Chrome Sync. No account needed. Open source — every permission and network call is verifiable on GitHub. Built on Manifest V3 — the current Chrome extension standard. Future-proof from day one. FREE TIER Auto-suspend tabs after a configurable idle period Manual suspend and wake with one click Keyboard shortcuts — sleep (Alt+Shift+S), wake current tab (Alt+Shift+W), wake all (Alt+Shift+A) Never suspend pinned or audio-playing tabs Never suspend tabs using your microphone or camera Unlimited tabs suspended at once PRO ($4.99 ONE-TIME) Suspension schedule — restrict auto-suspend to specific days and hours Bulk select and suspend multiple tabs at once Domain whitelist — specific sites that will never be suspended Cross-device settings sync The Great Suspender was removed from the Chrome Web Store in 2021 after a change of ownership introduced malware. Slumber was built to fill that gap — with a clean codebase, minimal permissions, and full transparency. GitHub README Permissions: tabs, storage, alarms — nothing else. Telemetry: none. Network: the only external call is to the Slumber license server to verify your Pro key. It runs once when you activate and silently on browser startup — never for any other purpose. Data: your tab URLs, titles, and favicons never leave your device. Payments: handled entirely by Paddle. Slumber never sees your card details or email.

It is entirely optional and never shown to free users or during the upgrade flow.
