TabSentry - Lock & Park Tabs

Protect your sensitive tabs from prying eyes and speed up your browser by freeing memory. TabSentry combines zero-flash domain locking with instant tab parking. Whether you are managing sensitive work in an open-plan office, protecting your webmail, or drowning in 50+ memory-heavy tabs, TabSentry keeps your workflow secure and your system fast. 🛡️ Why Choose TabSentry? Most tab lockers suffer from two major flaws: they leak page content for a split-second while loading, and navigating within modern Single-Page Applications (like Gmail, Outlook, or Notion) triggers annoying lock loops. TabSentry solves this at the root: Zero-Flash Technology: Injects instant DOM protection before the page parses. No visual leaks, even for a millisecond. SPA-Ready: Locks at the domain origin so internal navigation and inbox browsing never cause false re-locks. RAM Reclaim: Park open tabs into a private, searchable vault and immediately slash Chrome's memory footprint. ⚡ Key Features 🔒 Secure Domain Locking Set a single local Master PIN (hashed with SHA-256 via Web Crypto API). Instant auto-lock the moment you switch tabs or lose window focus. Persistent security: locks survive browser restarts, crashes, and restored sessions. 💤 RAM-Saving Tab Parking Park individual tabs or collapse an entire window in one click. Search your parked vault in real time to instantly restore what you need. Native right-click context menu integration for speed. 💎 Flexible Plans Free Forever: Up to 2 locked domains with Master PIN security. Unlimited manual tab parking & memory freeing. Real-time parked tab search & restore. Zero-flash DOM suppression & auto-lock on switch. TabSentry Pro (£1.49/month or £7.99 Lifetime): Unlimited Locked Domains: Secure every dashboard, CRM, and portal you manage. Granular Wildcard Path Rules: Lock specific paths (e.g. [stripe.com/dashboard/billing/](https://stripe.com/dashboard/billing/)* or [github.com/*/settings](https://github.com/*/settings)) while leaving the main site open. Inactivity Idle Timer: Auto-relock protected tabs if you step away from your desk. Global Panic Hotkey (Alt + Shift + K): Instantly hide active tabs and lock everything in 1 millisecond. Encrypted Cloud Sync: Keep your vault aligned across devices using AES-GCM 256-bit client-side encryption. Decoy PIN Mode: Set a decoy PIN that silently redirects to a blank workspace. 🔒 Privacy by Design TabSentry operates locally in your browser. Zero external tracking or analytics. No telemetry, no ads, and no selling of browsing habits. Your Master PIN never leaves your device.
