tabDelta

Personal Performance Profiler — High-fidelity browser telemetry and attention analytics.

tabDelta: The Personal Performance Profiler Ever wonder where your day went after hours of browsing? Or why your laptop fan is screaming while you try to focus? Most extensions track what you did by dumping a noisy list of website links. tabDelta is different. It treats your browser behavior like a high-performance system, measuring how both your browser and your brain perform in real time. It is a live task manager, attention tracker, and network diagnostic dashboard built directly into your toolbar. --- KEY FEATURES --- 🧠 Discover Your True Focus with the Attention Engine™ tabDelta doesn’t just log time spent on a passive tab. It measures your Active Engagement Density. By tracking mouse movements, scrolling velocity, and keyboard frequency, it separates tabs that are merely "open" from those where you are deep in the zone. * Track Your Flow: Visualize color-coded blocks of "Deep Work," "Focus," and "Idle Time" over a rolling 4-hour timeline. * Quantify the Context-Switch Penalty: See exactly how much mental recovery time you waste when hopping between deep-work sessions (like documentation) and digital distractions. * Workflow Clustering: tabDelta automatically groups related tabs and scattered history into clean, cohesive "Sessions" based on your actual work patterns. 💻 A Live "Task Manager" for Your Tabs Stop letting bloated websites hijack your machine. The live dashboard acts like a system diagnostic tool specifically tailored for your browsing habits: * Hunt Down Memory Leaks: Easily spot resource-heavy background tabs with real-time JavaScript heap monitoring. Tabs that exceed your customizable memory thresholds glow red so you can handle them. * Smart Notifications: Receive discrete system alerts the moment an inactive tab starts hogging your RAM or quietly draining your battery in the background. 🌐 Network Intelligence & Bandwidth Tracking Get a breakdown of your browser's data usage without leaving your tab. * Monitor live session download and upload totals across every open tab. * Identify data hogs with background bandwidth callouts when inactive tabs cross critical thresholds (e.g., sneaky background video streams or heavy tracking pings). * Expand any site to see an itemized category list detailing exactly where your data went—whether it's streaming video, hidden tracking scripts, images, or API requests. 🔒 The Local-First Manifesto (100% Private) We believe your personal analytics shouldn't be used for surveillance. Privacy is built directly into tabDelta’s architecture. * Zero Cloud Connectivity: tabDelta has no accounts to create, no servers to trust, and never "calls home." * On-Device Storage: All of your telemetry and historical data is stored locally in an database entirely inside your browser. * Automatic Sanitization: Your privacy is protected by stripping out invasive query strings or tracking parameters (?query=) before any URL is saved. * Full Data Ownership: Review your exact footprint anytime with a live Data Audit log, permanently wipe your records with a single click, or cleanly export everything into an Excel workbook. ⚡ Ultra-Lightweight, Zero-Lag Architecture Traditional productivity tools suffer from the "Observer Effect," slowing down the very browser they are trying to monitor. tabDelta is heavily optimized to maintain a near-zero footprint (<1% CPU overhead). It utilizes background processing to batch data quietly without ever causing interface jank. --- QUICK DISCLOSURES --- * Live view sorts open tabs by active time, real-time memory usage, data consumption, or attention. * Deep analytics reports show daily, weekly, and monthly interactive rollups mapping focus stability. * Seamlessly pop the extension out into a spacious full-screen browser tab for deep data analysis.
