Overview

Tab Monitor: Real-Time Resource Management
Monitor your tabs. Reclaim your RAM.
=======================================

Tab Monitor provides a granular, real-time dashboard of your browser’s performance. Instead of guessing which tab is slowing down your system, see exact RAM and CPU metrics for every open window and terminate resource-heavy processes with a single click.

Key Features:
-------------------------------------------
* Real-Time Metrics: RAM and CPU usage per tab, refreshed every 3 seconds.
* Resource Status: Instant visual feedback using Green (Healthy), Yellow (Warning), and Red (Critical) indicators.
* Focus Mode: Whitelist specific tabs and block new distractions for a set duration.
* Bulk Management: "Clear the Room" allows you to close all critical resource hogs simultaneously.
* Safety Net: Automatic session saving every 5 minutes to prevent data loss during crashes.
* Privacy-Centric: All metrics stay 100% local. No telemetry, no tracking, and no account required for core features.

Tab Monitor PRO:
-------------------------------------------
* Customizable Focus Mode
* Grid View - get an overview of your tabs in a new way
* More back-up sessions in cause of browser crash
* Automated Suspensions: Automatically offload inactive, high-RAM tabs after 10 minutes.
* Leak Detection: Smart alerts for tabs with abnormally fast memory growth.
* The Parking Lot: Temporarily hibernate tabs and restore them later with full context with reminders if needed.
* Custom Thresholds: Set domain-specific limits for "Critical" status alerts.
* Advanced Analytics: Trend tracking and memory peak breakdowns by domain.
