If you work remotely, you know the pain: you step away for 15 minutes and your CRM, dashboard, or admin panel has logged you out. You re-enter your password, lose your place, and waste another 2 minutes getting back to where you were.

This happens because most web apps use session timeouts as a security measure — typically 15-30 minutes of inactivity. The problem is that "inactivity" just means no mouse/keyboard input on that tab. Even if you're actively working in another window, those sessions die.

The real cost: If you get logged out just 4 times a day and it takes 2 minutes each time to log back in, that's ~30 hours a year wasted on re-authentication. For a team of 10, that's 300 hours.

I built Stay Active to fix this. It's a lightweight Chrome extension that keeps your browser sessions alive in the background — no more surprise logouts, no more lost work.

The free version handles single-tab session monitoring. Pro unlocks unlimited tabs, advanced configuration, and priority updates for $2.99/mo (or $29.99 lifetime).

If session timeouts are costing you time, give it a try.
