## Description

WiFi Hotspot Manager is a Chrome extension built for smart control, monitoring and automation of your WiFi hotspot. It integrates with official Android system settings and provides a central dashboard to manage hotspot configuration, monitor usage, test speed, and share access via QR code.

Key features include smart auto-off when limits are reached (time, data, or low battery), real-time data usage tracking, a built-in speed test, secure QR-based sharing, and advanced tools like USB/Bluetooth tethering shortcuts and deep links to system settings. It’s designed to work with official controls and does not bypass device restrictions.
