OopsWrongTab is a privacy-first browser extension that automatically redirects awkward, distracting, or unprofessional tabs to a safe fallback page when you're in a meeting or screen sharing — protecting your reputation with one smart redirect.
Visit the official site: oopswrongtab.net
Currently in Preview: This is the initial version (v0.1.0-preview). Redirects are currently set to Google Calendar by default. Future updates will include customizable redirect URLs, smart detection, and more.
- Real-time tab monitoring
- Smart redirect to Google Calendar
- Customizable working hours
- Manageable blocklist for full control
- Emergency hotkey (
Ctrl+Shift+H) - Zero tracking. No ads. Local-only data
- Remote professionals & freelancers
- Teachers and students during online classes
- Presenters, managers, and developers
- Anyone who shares their screen regularly
OopsWrongTab runs silently in the background. When you open or switch to a tab that matches a blocked domain, it will instantly redirect you to a professional fallback page.
In this preview version, that fallback page is Google Calendar. More customization options are on the way.
