    Chrome slowing down with too many tabs?
    
    TabGuard automatically sleeps inactive tabs so your browser stays fast — without closing anything.
    
    Keep your workflow exactly the same — just faster.
    
    Set a timer and TabGuard handles the rest in the background.
    
    How it works
    
    Set your timer (like 5 minutes)…
    TabGuard will:
    
    ✔ Automatically “sleep” inactive tabs
    ✔ Free up memory instantly
    ✔ Keep your browser fast and responsive
    
    Click any tab → it wakes up instantly.
    
    What you get:
    
    Keep Chrome fast
    
    Stop your browser from slowing down when you have too many tabs open.
    
    Automatic tab sleeping
    
    Inactive tabs are safely paused in the background — no manual cleanup needed.
    
    Stay focused
    
    Less clutter. Less distraction. More done.
    
    Pause anytime
    Pause tab sleeping for 15m, 30m, or 1 hour when you need full access.
    
    Full control
    Sleep the current tab instantly
    Never sleep important sites
    Turn TabGuard on/off anytime
    
    Privacy first (no BS)
    ✔ No tracking
    ✔ No data collection
    ✔ Everything runs locally in your browser
    
    Your tabs stay yours.
    
    Built for people who:
    Keep 10+ tabs open at all times
    Notice Chrome slowing down during the day
    Want speed without closing everything
    Need a simple, automatic solution
    
    Why TabGuard is different
    
    Most tab tools are:
    
    Complicated
    Overloaded with features
    Hard to use
    
    TabGuard is:
    👉 Simple
    👉 Fast
    👉 Automatic
    
    Set it once — and it just works.
