Chronotab Features

Chronotab is designed to help you automate opening browser tabs at specific times or intervals. Here’s a comprehensive look at what it offers:

​
Core Functionality

Flexible Scheduling

Create schedules to open one or more URLs. Configure them to run once, daily, or on specific days of the week. Set precise start dates and times.

Schedule Management

Easily view, edit, and delete your schedules from the main dashboard. Get a quick overview of upcoming tasks.

Manual Execution

Instantly run any schedule on demand, directly from the dashboard or the browser context menu.

Missed Alarm Handling

Chronotab intelligently detects and notifies you of schedules that were missed while your browser was closed or the extension was inactive. Review and run them from a dedicated “Missed Alarms” page.
