About this extension
Receive sound when long-running web requests complete in inactive tabs. Stop checking back – get notified!

Features:
  • Inactive Tab Focus: Notifications only for background tabs.
  • Custom Duration Threshold: Define what "long" means for you (in seconds).
  • Domain Filtering (for Request Destinations): Monitor all, whitelist specific request destination domains, or blacklist them to ignore. Filters apply to the domain a network request is sent to (e.g., an API endpoint), not the website you are currently viewing.
  • Sound Control: Upload custom sounds (MP3/OGG/WAV/M4A, max 1MB), adjust volume, test.
  • OS Desktop Notifications: Optional system-level alerts showing the completed request's hostname and duration.
  • Multi-Language Support: English, German, Spanish, Simplified Chinese.

Ideal for developers tracking API calls, users with slow uploads/downloads, or anyone multitasking with lengthy background web processes.

Release notes for 1.2.0
Version 1.2.0 brings more practical defaults and finer control over your notifications.
  • Better Default Timing: The default notification threshold has been lowered from 10 seconds to a more useful 2 seconds, making the extension handier for developers right after installation.
  • Finer Control: You can now use decimal values for the notification threshold (e.g., 0.5 or 1.5 seconds), giving you more precise control over what you consider a "long" request.
