vSchengen visa slot watcherv1.1.0
Catch your Schengen slot — the moment it opens.
A privacy-first Chrome extension that watches TLScontact for you — and pings your phone the instant a slot drops. Local-only. No servers. Open source. Free.
Problem · 01
60sec
Average time a TLS slot stays visible during peak season — easy to miss while you sleep, work, or blink.
Problem · 02
15%
Of TLS traffic auto-blocked as bot per their own disclosures. The extension stays well under the threshold.
Problem · 03
3/day
Manual refreshes before TLS temporarily blocks you. Polite polling, never a hammer.
How it works
Three steps. About thirty seconds. Then walk away.
1
Install the extension
One click on the Chrome Web Store, or sideload from GitHub if you prefer to audit the source first. Either way, the same MIT code.
chrome://extensions
2
Open your TLS page
and log in
and log in
The extension auto-detects the tab. Toolbar badge turns green — that's me, watching.

Walk away
When a slot opens, you get a desktop ping — and, optionally, a Telegram message on your phone.

Watch the extension catch a slot.
A real TLScontact session — no edits, no speed-ups. The extension detects the slot and pings you in seconds.
A small, polite background process
What I do, and what I won't.
Two lists, same length. I'm only useful if you can trust me — so the second list is as long as the first, and at least as honest.
✓ What I do
- 01Refresh your TLScontact appointment page on a polite cadence — every 2–15 min; default is four.
- 02Notify you the moment a slot opens — desktop ping, optional sound, optional Telegram message.
- 03Run entirely in your own browser. Your TLS session never leaves this computer.
- 04Show my work. Every detection comes with the evidence I used so you can sanity-check me.
✕ What I don't do
- —Read your passport number, name, or any form field.
- —Book the slot for you — you always book yourself.
- —Solve Cloudflare captchas — I'll ask you, politely.
- —Share your data with anyone, ever. There is no server. There is no telemetry by default.
Every state, plainly

One popup, seven moods. Same chrome, same restraint. Tone shifts with status — never decoration.
Idle

Before you open your TLS tab. I wait until I have something to watch.
Watching

Polite cadence — ~4 min by default. Last check, next check, evidence on demand.

03 / 07
Desktop ping. Title swap. Optional Telegram. The 60-second window where it counts.
CF check
04 / 07
Cloudflare's asking you to prove you're human. I'll stand down 'til you do.
Logged out
05 / 07
Your TLS session expired. I can't watch a logged-out page — log back in.
Paused
06 / 07
You stopped me. I won't poll, I won't beep. You're in control.
Unknown
07 / 07
Honest about edges. I'd rather ask than guess wrong on a slot that isn't there.

Frequently asked
Eight questions, honestly answered.
The extension polls at a polite cadence — default once every 4 minutes during release windows, well under TLS's own “no more than 3 per day” guidance for manual refreshes. It doesn't bypass Cloudflare, doesn't solve captchas, and runs as a normal logged-in user. Risk is low, but not zero — TLS's terms of service may classify any automation as prohibited. You use this at your own risk.
