Shush

About

Shush is a small, simple extension that lets you mute any tab for a set amount of time — and takes care of unmuting it for you when the time is up.

WHAT IT DOES

• Timed muting — pick 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, or mute with no time limit
• Auto-unmute — tabs quietly come back on their own when the timer runs out
• Gentle notification — a small desktop notice lets you know when a tab has been unmuted
• Mute a few tabs at once — handy when more than one thing is making noise
• Live countdown — a simple view shows how much time is left for each muted tab
• Remembers your mutes — muted tabs stay muted even if you restart Chrome
• Easy to undo — cancel any mute with a single click, anytime

A GOOD FIT FOR

• Silencing an ad or video while you focus on something else
• Keeping things quiet during a call, without forgetting to turn sound back on
• Stepping away from music or a stream and coming back to it later

PRIVACY

Shush doesn't collect, share, or send any data anywhere. Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no tracking, no network requests.

PERMISSIONS

• Tabs — to see tab info and toggle mute
• Alarms — to reliably schedule unmutes, even when the popup is closed
• Notifications — to let you know when a tab has been unmuted
• Storage — to remember muted tabs if you restart your browser
