Find the tab that's
eating your laptop.
MemoryStats reads how much memory every open tab is holding, and releases the heavy ones on demand — without closing the work you're in the middle of.

A demo of the panel — nothing on your machine is touched
Capabilities
Four things, done properly.
No dashboards to configure and no account to create. The panel opens, the numbers are already there.
Per-tab readings
Live memory for every open tab, heaviest first, updated as you browse. You stop guessing which one it is.
One-click release
Discard the tabs you're not using. They stay in the tab strip and reload from cache the moment you go back.
Locked tabs stay put
Lock the ones you can't afford to lose — a half-written form, a running job. Cleanup skips them every time.
Auto-mode
Turn it on and the browser cleans itself on a schedule, including while you're away from the keyboard.
Getting started
Three steps, about a minute.
- 01
Install
Add it from the Chrome Web Store. Nothing to sign up for.
- 02
Open the panel
Click the icon. Every tab is listed with what it's using right now.
- 03
Free up
Release the heavy tabs, or switch on auto-mode and stop thinking about it.
