About Tab Gravity

You open 30 tabs. You use 4. Tab Gravity fixes that β€” quietly, automatically, without closing anything. Every minute it checks which tabs you haven't touched. Idle ones fall into a collapsed "πŸͺ Low Gravity" group and get out of your way. Click any of them to instantly bring it back. Nothing is ever lost. ─────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ─────────────────────────── Tab Gravity runs a background scan every minute. Any tab you haven't touched longer than your threshold (default: 10 minutes) gets moved into the Low Gravity tab group. That group stays collapsed so it doesn't clutter your tab bar. The moment you click a tab inside it, it comes straight back β€” no different from a normal tab. You control the threshold. You control which sites are exempt. Tab Gravity just does the tidying. ─────────────────────────── FREE FEATURES ─────────────────────────── πŸͺ Auto-grouping Idle tabs collapse into a single group automatically. Your tab bar goes from chaos to clean with zero effort. βš“ Reality Anchor Some tabs should never fall. Ground any tab or domain β€” Gmail, your work dashboard, a doc you're actively referencing β€” and it stays front and centre no matter how long it sits idle. πŸ’Ύ Memory Discard Fallen tabs can optionally have their memory discarded too. The discard strength slider (0–100%) lets you dial in exactly how aggressively Tab Gravity frees RAM. Tabs stay in the group and reload when you click them. πŸ“Š Local Stats See how many tabs have fallen, been discarded, or been grounded today. All of it stays on your device β€” never uploaded anywhere. βš™οΈ Per-site Timers Different sites deserve different patience. Set a custom inactivity threshold per domain: YouTube at 2 minutes, Google Docs at 60. (Up to 3 entries on Free.) πŸ–±οΈ Right-click Actions Right-click any page to pin it to Reality, send it to Low Gravity immediately, or always ground its domain β€” no need to open the popup. ⌨️ Keyboard Shortcut Ctrl+Shift+G (Cmd+Shift+G on Mac) runs an instant gravity scan. πŸ”’ 100% Local No account. No server. No analytics. Tab Gravity never makes a network request of any kind during normal use. Everything β€” settings, stats, grounded domains β€” lives in your browser. ─────────────────────────── PRO β€” $4.99 one-time, no subscription ─────────────────────────── ⭐ Unlimited grounded domains (Free: up to 5) ⭐ Unlimited per-site thresholds (Free: up to 3) ⭐ Active hours β€” pause gravity outside your work hours (e.g. 9 am – 6 pm only) ⭐ 7-day stats history β€” track how your tab usage trends over the week Pay once. Use it forever. No renewal, no upsell. ─────────────────────────── PRIVACY ─────────────────────────── Tab Gravity reads tab URLs and last-accessed times solely to decide whether a tab should fall. It never transmits, stores externally, or shares any browsing data. The only outbound network request the extension ever makes is a single call to verify your Pro license key β€” and only when you explicitly click Activate in Settings. Free users never trigger any network call.
