LeanTabs - Smart Tab Manager

About

LeanTabs transforms your browser from a resource-hogging mess into a streamlined productivity machine.

DECLUTTER YOUR BROWSER, NOT YOUR BRAIN.
Tabs eat RAM. Links don't. LeanTabs acts as a Smart Converter: instead of keeping resource-heavy tabs open, it instantly converts them into organized, lightweight lists of links ("Sessions"). It secures your data first, then selectively clears memory, giving you the performance of a fresh browser with the safety of a full backup.

🚀 KEY FEATURES:

1. INSTANT MEMORY CLEANING
• Click "Clean" to close old tabs instantly and free up RAM.
• "Smart Scope": Choose to clean only the Current Window or perform a Global Clean across all windows.
• Context-Aware: Keeps your pinned tabs and the active tab safe automatically.

2. ORGANIZED DASHBOARD
• All closed tabs are saved into the "Saved Links" dashboard.
• Restore tabs individually or reopen entire sessions (windows) with one click.
• Searchable history of your cleaning sessions.

3. ADVANCED WINDOW & WORKSPACE LOGIC
• Designed for multitaskers. LeanTabs respects your window setup.
• Cleaning one project window won't kill the tabs in your other active windows/projects.
• "Restore Window Structure": Can reopen tabs in their original window layout.

4. SAFETY & PRIVACY FIRST
• Whitelist: Right-click any page to "Add to Whitelist". These sites (e.g., Music, Email) will never be closed.
• Local Storage: 100% Offline. Your data is stored locally in your browser. No cloud, no accounts, no tracking.
• Auto-Backups: An automatic background system keeps backups of your last 50 cleans.

💡 REAL-WORLD USE CASES:

• The "Focus Mode": You have 50 tabs open but need full performance for a game or heavy app. Hit "Global Clean" to release GBs of RAM without losing your tabs.
• The "Project Switcher": Clean your current "Work" window to switch to a "Personal" context instantly. Restore the "Work" session tomorrow exactly as you left it.
• The "Researcher": Don't let bookmarks become a graveyard. Save your research session as a visual list and export it as JSON to share with colleagues.

⌨️ SHORTCUTS:
• Ctrl+Shift+S: Clean & Save (Instant Action)
• Ctrl+Shift+L: Open Dashboard
• Ctrl+Shift+K: Emergency Reset (Close active window tabs immediately)

🔒 PRIVACY POLICY SUMMARY:
LeanTabs does not collect, transmit, or sell your browsing data.
- Data Storage: All saved links are stored locally on your device via the Chrome Storage API.
- External Requests: The extension only connects to the internet to fetch website icons (Favicons) via Google's public service and to fetch page titles when you save a link manually.
- Permissions: "Access to all websites" is required solely to capture the title and URL of the background tabs you choose to clean.
