About Tab Intent Timer
Ever opened a new tab to quickly look something up, only to find yourself down a rabbit hole 20 minutes later wondering what you originally came for?
Tab Intent Timer brings focus back to your browsing experience. Instead of accumulating dozens of open tabs that create cognitive overload, this lightweight extension helps you assign a single purpose and a dedicated time limit to each tab.
How it works:
1. Open any tab you need to focus on.
2. Click the extension icon and define your intent (e.g., "Review Q3 report" or "Check flight prices").
3. Set your target time limit in minutes.
4. Hit Start Focus.
Your active tab's title updates instantly (e.g., [15m] Review Q3 report | Document Name) and ticks down minute by minute in the background. If you lose focus or let the time run out, the tab visibly flags itself as overdue ([⚠️ Overdue!]), gently nudging you back on track.
Key Features:
- Dynamic Tab Countdown: Keep your objective visible right in the tab bar without cluttering your screen with overlays.
- 100% Private & Local: Zero tracking, zero ads, no account required. All data stays strictly in your browser's local memory.
- Lightweight & Fast: Built entirely on Manifest V3 with minimal system footprint and battery usage.
- Simple Reset: Reset your timer and restore original tab titles at any time with a single click.
Stop passive tab hoarding. Browse with intention, finish what you start, and close tabs with confidence.
