Tetherball

Shows a working/ready status dot on your AI chat tabs and pulls you back the moment the run finishes.

Tetherball keeps an eye on your AI chats so you don't have to. Kick off a long run, switch to whatever else you were doing, and Tetherball pulls you straight back the moment the AI finishes. WHAT IT DOES - Status dot on the tab icon: yellow while the AI is working, green when it's ready for you. - Pulls you back: when a run finishes, Tetherball switches you to that tab. Prefer something gentler? Have it send a notification instead, or stay silent and let the dot do the talking. - Pauses your video: if a pull cuts you off mid-video, Tetherball pauses the video first so it doesn't keep playing in a background tab. - One indicator: Tetherball strips the status clutter sites add to tab titles, so the icon dot is the only thing you need to check. Works the same way on more than a dozen AI chat sites, including Claude and ChatGPT. PRIVACY Everything happens in your browser. Tetherball collects no data and sends nothing anywhere. It touches YouTube and Netflix only at the moment it pulls you away, just to pause the video. Made for people who run long AI tasks and refuse to sit there watching the cursor blink.
