Sidecar / The panel

One icon. All eight.

The panel comes with the extension. It lists every tool with a switch beside it, says what each one is doing on the page you are on, and is where the licence key goes, once.

What it does

A light switch, not a control room.

Access, one tool at a time

Switching a tool on is what asks for the access it needs, and switching it off hands that access back. Keep only Timezone Peek and nothing ever asks about Gmail.

Off means gone

A tool you switch off has its code withdrawn from the browser, not left loaded and idle. Switches take effect in tabs that are already open.

Says what is live here

Each row reports what that tool is doing on the current page, or which site it waits for. One that is idle says so rather than pretending.

Pause one site

One switch pauses everything on the site in front of you and leaves the rest of the web alone. For the one app that gets along with nothing.
