About
Drowzy automatically suspends inactive browser tabs to free up memory and keep Chrome running fast. How it works: • Tabs idle for 30 minutes are automatically suspended (configurable) • Suspended tabs use zero RAM but stay in your tab bar • Click any suspended tab to instantly wake it up • Uses Chrome's native discard API — your tabs are never lost, even if you uninstall Drowzy Smart protection: • Active, pinned, and audio-playing tabs are never touched • Tabs with unsaved form data are protected • Whitelist your favorite sites to keep them always awake Features: • Save and restore tab sessions • Keyboard shortcuts (Alt+S to suspend, Alt+Shift+S for all others, Alt+W to wake all) • Right-click context menu for quick actions • Lifetime stats tracking • Dark and light theme • Settings sync across devices • Zero data collection, zero tracking, fully private Drowzy is lightweight, open source, and built with privacy in mind. No accounts, no analytics, no external servers. Everything stays in your browser.
