Tab Timer Alert is a handy Chrome extension that lets you set a timer alert on any browser tab. Designed for scenarios like online exams, waiting for downloads, or remote work, this tool notifies you when it's time to return to a specific tab after a set period of inactivity. Users can customize alerts with an animated blinking tab icon and optionally receive audio notifications.

The extension supports multiple tabs, though it's recommended not to overuse audio alerts to avoid confusion. Privacy is prioritized — no data collection occurs, and all files are packed locally with no external dependencies. Open source and fully transparent, Tab Timer Alert ensures efficient tab management for enhanced productivity and focus.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tab timer alert requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
