Tab Auto Switch
A Chrome extension

Hands-free tab rotation

Pick the tabs you care about, choose how long each one stays on screen, and press start. Chrome cycles through them until you stop it. Nothing to babysit, no clicking, no keyboard.

The extension's popup, with a list of tabs to choose from and an interval of ten seconds
Choose tabs one by one, a whole tab group, or the entire window.

What it does

Controls where you are looking

An optional control bar rides along in the corner of the page itself, so you can step back, skip, pause or stop without reaching for the toolbar. The same four controls sit in the popup, and the arrow keys with Alt and Shift do the same job.

A web page with a small control bar in its bottom right corner, showing skip, pause and stop buttons
The on-page bar is optional, and asks for site access only when you turn it on.

Privacy, in one line

No accounts, no analytics, no network requests, no data collection. Your settings never leave your computer. The privacy policy spells out exactly what each permission is for.

Good for

Wall displays and TV dashboards, network and system monitoring, trading screens, digital signage, kiosks, presentations, and keeping an eye on long-running jobs.

If it earns its keep

The extension is free, has no accounts, and asks for nothing. If it saves you some clicking, you are welcome to put something in the tip jar.
