I had a website blocker, a Pomodoro timer, a tab suspender, and a time tracker installed at the same time — four separate extensions, four separate settings pages, none of them talking to each other. Starting a focus session meant manually turning on the blocker, then starting the timer, and neither knew the other existed. So I built TabInsights, which does all four and actually connects them.
What it does
Website blocker — block by domain, category, or schedule, with an optional typed "unblock challenge" for the days willpower isn't enough.
Pomodoro focus timer — one click starts a 15/25/45-minute sprint, which also auto-blocks distracting categories for the duration and unblocks them automatically when it ends. This is the part that actually solves my original problem — the timer and the blocker are the same feature, not two extensions coincidentally running at once.
Memory saver — auto-suspends tabs you haven't touched in a configurable window (15–60 min), freeing roughly 50MB of RAM each via chrome.tabs.discard(). Suspended tabs stay in your tab bar and reload exactly where you left off with one click.
