    description
    TabCost shows you what you're investing without realizing it.
    
    Every minute a tab sits idle (distraction, forgotten search, old tool), a small cost accumulates based on your hourly rate. It's not a real bill – it's a mirror for your attention.
    
    ---
    
    ✅ Free version (everyone)
    • See your daily accumulated cost in the popup
    • Audit inactive tabs – see each tab's minutes and cost
    • Close all inactive tabs with one button
    • Set your hourly rate and currency (USD/EUR)
    • Switch between English and Spanish
    • Dark mode included
    
    🚀 Pro version – one-time $5 / €5
    • Ignore work domains (Notion, Gmail, Slack, Figma…) – only distractions count
    • Auto-close idle tabs after X minutes
    • 365-day history with charts – spot your patterns
    • CSV export of history and current inactive tabs list
    • Adjust grace minutes (1–30) and impact % (10–50)

    • Smart notifications (set your own threshold)
    • Priority support

    Two ways freelancers use TabCost:
    
    🔹 Distraction control – news, social media, shopping tabs that steal your focus. See exactly how much time you lose.
    
    🔹 Operational cost – track time spent on web tools (Leonardo AI, Remove BG, GitHub) and add that cost to your fixed-price invoices. Real data for better pricing.
