LeanTabs - Smart Tab Manager

Turn tab chaos into organized sessions. Save RAM, manage workspaces, and declutter your browser securely.

LeanTabs transforms your browser from a resource-hogging mess into a streamlined productivity machine. DECLUTTER YOUR BROWSER, NOT YOUR BRAIN. Tabs eat RAM. Links don't. LeanTabs acts as a Smart Converter: instead of keeping resource-heavy tabs open, it instantly converts them into organized, lightweight lists of links ("Sessions"). It secures your data first, then selectively clears memory, giving you the performance of a fresh browser with the safety of a full backup. 🚀 KEY FEATURES: 1. INSTANT MEMORY CLEANING • Click "Clean" to close old tabs instantly and free up RAM. • "Smart Scope": Choose to clean only the Current Window or perform a Global Clean across all windows. • Context-Aware: Keeps your pinned tabs and the active tab safe automatically. 2. ORGANIZED DASHBOARD • All closed tabs are saved into the "Saved Links" dashboard. • Restore tabs individually or reopen entire sessions (windows) with one click. • Searchable history of your cleaning sessions. 3. ADVANCED WINDOW & WORKSPACE LOGIC • Designed for multitaskers. LeanTabs respects your window setup. • Cleaning one project window won't kill the tabs in your other active windows/projects. • "Restore Window Structure": Can reopen tabs in their original window layout. 4. SAFETY & PRIVACY FIRST • Whitelist: Right-click any page to "Add to Whitelist". These sites (e.g., Music, Email) will never be closed. • Local Storage: 100% Offline. Your data is stored locally in your browser. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking. • Auto-Backups: An automatic background system keeps backups of your last 50 cleans. 💡 REAL-WORLD USE CASES: • The "Focus Mode": You have 50 tabs open but need full performance for a game or heavy app. Hit "Global Clean" to release GBs of RAM without losing your tabs. • The "Project Switcher": Clean your current "Work" window to switch to a "Personal" context instantly. Restore the "Work" session tomorrow exactly as you left it. • The "Researcher": Don't let bookmarks become a graveyard. Save your research session as a visual list and export it as JSON to share with colleagues. ⌨️ SHORTCUTS: • Ctrl+Shift+S: Clean & Save (Instant Action) • Ctrl+Shift+L: Open Dashboard • Ctrl+Shift+K: Emergency Reset (Close active window tabs immediately) 🔒 PRIVACY POLICY SUMMARY: LeanTabs does not collect, transmit, or sell your browsing data. - Data Storage: All saved links are stored locally on your device via the Chrome Storage API. - External Requests: The extension only connects to the internet to fetch website icons (Favicons) via Google's public service and to fetch page titles when you save a link manually. - Permissions: "Access to all websites" is required solely to capture the title and URL of the background tabs you choose to clean.
