Utility Hub is a powerful, open-source Chrome extension designed to be the ultimate "Swiss Army Knife" for productivity. Instead of installing a dozen single-purpose extensions, Utility Hub brings together essential tools into one lightweight, privacy-focused package.
Everything runs locally. No tracking. No bloat. Just the tools you need to get work done.
Keep your tabs fresh and updated automatically. Perfect for monitoring dashboards, grabbing limited-time slots, or developing web apps.
- Custom Intervals: Set reload times from seconds to minutes.
- Hard Reload: Option to bypass cache (
Ctrl+F5equivalent) to see the latest changes. - Visual Status: A green 'AR' badge lets you know which tabs are being monitored.
- Smart Management: Controls are isolated per tab, so you can manage multiple reload timers simultaneously.
Prevent session timeouts and keep your status connected on varied web services.
- Activity Simulation: Simulates subtle mouse movements and key presses to convince the site you are active.
- Network Pings: Optionally sends low-profile network requests to keep the connection alive.
- Sound Alert: Optional audio feedback when a keep-alive ping occurs (good for debugging or monitoring).
- Background Run: Works even when the tab is not in focus.
Streamline your professional or personal messaging on WhatsApp Web.
- Floating Button: A discreet "pen" icon is injected directly into the WhatsApp chat footer for instant access.
- Global Shortcut: Use
Alt + Sto quickly append your signature without leaving the keyboard. - Custom Text: Easily update your signature text through the Utility Hub popup.
- Robust Insertion: Uses advanced DOM manipulation to work reliably with WhatsApp's modern Lexical editor.
We are actively building new modules! Planned features include:
- Form Filler: Save and fill repetitive forms.
- Tab Suspender: Save memory by suspending unused tabs.
- Note Taker: Quick scratchpad for every tab.
Since this project is open source and in active development, you can install it directly from the source code.
