Find heavy tabs, free RAM, and fix one broken site.

TabVitals is an all-in-one tab-care extension for Chrome. It shows which loaded tabs are using memory, lets you sleep safe background tabs without closing them, and clears cache or resets data for only the current website. Active, pinned, audible, and Always Awake tabs stay protected. Diagnostics run locally, with no signup or payment required during the public beta.

I usually keep a lot of Chrome tabs open while I work. When memory use climbed, Activity Monitor mostly gave me a wall of Chrome Helper Renderer processes, not a useful answer about which tab I could act on. I wanted a simple workflow: see the loaded tabs that appear heavy, sleep safe background tabs without closing them, and leave my current, pinned, audio, and important sites alone. The other recurring annoyance was troubleshooting one broken website. The usual advice is to clear browser data, even when only one domain has stale cache or a bad session. TabVitals therefore also lets you clear cache or fully reset only the current site. The beta is free, requires no account, and is installable from the Chrome Web Store. Diagnostics run locally. Chrome may show a debugger warning because X-Ray uses Chrome's diagnostic interface during a scan; TabVitals does not upload page content, passwords, cookies, or browsing history. What I most want to learn is where the memory readings or protection rules feel unclear, and whether the one-site reset workflow saves you from clearing the rest of Chrome.

TabVitals 0.4.20 is live — Auto-suspend is here

The update I previewed is now in the Chrome Web Store. TabVitals 0.4.20 adds Auto-suspend for Chrome on Mac and Windows.

Turn it ON to scan and sleep eligible background tabs right away. It repeats every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours, while active, pinned, and audio-playing tabs stay protected. Mark important sites Always Awake. Tabs remain open and reload when you return.

After each cycle, TabVitals shows the change in available system memory and how many tabs were slept. The manual X-Ray scanner is still there, along with one-site cache/cookie cleanup, Incognito, and history tools. Save unfinished work before sleeping tabs.

I'm the developer. Install or update, and tell me what you think: https://chromewebstore.google.co...

Coming soon: TabVitals Auto-suspend — automatic RAM cleanup

I m testing the next TabVitals update: Auto-suspend for Chrome.

The manual X-Ray scanner and tab-sleep controls are staying. The new option automates that workflow: switch ON to scan and sleep eligible background tabs immediately, then repeat every 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours.

Free up RAM without closing your tabs or remembering to run cleanup yourself. Keep active, pinned and audio-playing tabs protected, and mark important sites Always Awake. Sleeping tabs reload when you return. A clear result card shows the measured change in available memory after each cycle.

Chrome on Mac and Windows; diagnostics run locally. The existing cache/cookie tools, one-click Incognito and one-site history removal remain available.

TabVitals v0.4.16 is live: site tools and refined X-Ray scans

TabVitals v0.4.16 is now available in the Chrome Web Store. We've refined X-Ray's loaded-tab scan and made its memory readings clearer, so you can spot tabs worth sleeping without closing them. Chrome does not expose complete RAM data for every tab, so a scan is a guide, not a promise of exact savings.

The current beta also puts useful actions for the current website in one place: open it in Incognito, remove only that site's visits from Chrome history, and clear cache or cookies for that site without resetting everything else. You can keep important sites awake while sleeping unneeded background tabs. Diagnostics run locally.

Try v0.4.16: https://chromewebstore.google.co...

If you test it with many tabs, I'd especially value feedback on missing tabs or memory readings that look wrong.
