About

Bale Unread Monitor: Your Bridge Between Bale and Telegram

Never miss a critical message again. The Bale Unread Monitor is a lightweight, privacy-first productivity tool designed to silently monitor your open Bale web client (web.bale.ai) and instantly forward new message alerts directly to your personal Telegram account.

Designed for professionals, remote workers, and students who need to stay focused without constantly tabbing back to check their messages.

🔒 100% Private, Secure & Transparent
Your privacy is our absolute priority. This extension is built on a "Zero Tracking" architecture:

No Middlemen & No Servers: We do not own a server, database, or analytics tracker. The extension runs entirely inside your local Chrome browser and communicates directly with the official Telegram API.

Your Data Stays Yours: We do not collect, read, store, or share your messages, contacts, or personal information. Nobody—not even the developer—has access to your conversations.

Transparent Permissions: We only request exactly what is needed to function:

storage: Used strictly to save your personal Telegram Bot Token and Chat ID locally on your hard drive so you don't have to re-enter them.

host_permissions (https://api.telegram.org/*): Used exclusively to send secure, outbound HTTP POST requests to your private Telegram Bot to deliver the notification.

✨ Key Features

Instant, Formatted Alerts: Get notified the second someone messages you. Receive clean, lock-screen-friendly summaries showing the sender's name, unread count, and a preview of the message.

Smart Anti-Spam & Debouncing: Intelligently filters out "typing..." indicators and prevents duplicate alerts so you only get pinged for actual, finalized messages.

Zero-Lag Performance: Built using modern MutationObserver APIs. It doesn't waste CPU cycles or battery life polling the page; it sleeps completely until the exact millisecond a new message badge appears.

Session Memory: Only alerts you to genuinely new messages, ignoring old unread chats when you first open the browser.

🛠️ How it Works (2-Minute Setup)
Because we refuse to route your data through a third-party server, you maintain total control by connecting the extension to your own private Telegram Bot:

Create a free, private bot via Telegram's official @BotFather.

Get your personal Chat ID via @myidbot.

Paste your Bot Token and Chat ID into the extension's secure popup.

Keep web.bale.ai open in a pinned or background tab, and the monitor will handle the rest!
