Nest — Smart Tab Manager with Groups, Snooze, Sessions & Notes

Organize tabs into groups, snooze distractions, save sessions, and keep notes tied to any page.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT'S NEW IN 1.4 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FIXED • Your tab groups stay put. Tabs you place in a Chrome tab group are never moved out by Nest — not on restart, not on reload. • Snoozed tabs always come back. They now survive extension updates, and if your computer was off when one was due, it returns the next time you open Chrome. • Closed-tab history no longer drops entries when lots of tabs open at once. • Clearer messages everywhere — actions that fail now say so instead of failing quietly. NEW • Open Nest anywhere with Ctrl+Shift+Space (⌘+Shift+Space on Mac). • Tidy: close every duplicate tab in one click, or suspend background tabs to free memory. • Turn a single category into a Chrome tab group with one click. • Save just one tab group as a session, instead of all your tabs. • Switch off Chrome tab group syncing entirely if you'd rather Nest didn't touch your browser. • A guided first run so new users know where to start. Full guide: nestextended.com/guide ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Drowning in Chrome tabs? Nest is a free Chrome tab manager that brings tab organization, tab snoozing, session save & restore, notes, and an optional AI assistant together in one fast, private extension. Instead of a cramped wall of tiny tabs, you get an organized workspace you can group, save, search, and restore in a single click. Whether you keep 20 tabs or 200, Nest helps you take back control — organize tabs into categories, snooze the ones you don't need right now, clear out duplicates, and never lose your work to a crash again. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EVERYTHING NEST DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▸ SMART TAB GROUPS & ORGANIZATION Sort your open tabs into named categories so related work stays together. Set domain rules so tabs from a given site (GitHub, Gmail, your docs) automatically route to the right category — Nest learns how you organize and keeps it tidy for you. Your categories persist across windows and restarts, so the structure survives a reboot. ▸ WORKS WITH CHROME'S OWN TAB GROUPS Nest syncs two ways with Chrome's native tab groups: rename a group and the matching category renames too. Turn one category into a Chrome group with a single click, or all of them at once. Your arrangement is always respected — a tab you deliberately placed in a group is never moved out. Prefer Nest to leave your browser alone? Switch the syncing off entirely. ▸ RESTORE CLOSED TABS & RECOVER FROM CRASHES Accidentally closed a tab or window? Restore it instantly. Chrome crashed mid-project? Your closed-tab history is still there. Nest keeps reliable backups so a restart never means rebuilding an hour of gathered context. ▸ TAB SNOOZE Hide distracting tabs and have them reappear exactly when you need them — in an hour, tonight, tomorrow morning, next Monday, or on a custom schedule. Snoozed tabs close completely (freeing memory) and come back on time, even if you restarted your browser or your computer was off when they were due. It's like a to-do list made of tabs. ▸ TIDY: DUPLICATES & MEMORY Close every duplicate tab in one click — Nest keeps the pinned or active one and clears the rest. Or suspend background tabs to free memory instantly; they stay in your tab strip and reload the moment you click them. Your active, pinned, and audio-playing tabs are never touched. ▸ NOTES FOR YOUR TABS Attach notes to any page. Keep research, links, decisions, and next steps right where the work is — so context never gets lost in a separate notes app. ▸ POWERFUL SEARCH Find any open or recently closed tab in seconds. Search across windows, categories, and your tab history without digging — perfect when you "know you had it open somewhere." ▸ OPEN IT FROM ANYWHERE Nest opens as a panel over the page you're already reading, so you never lose your place. Click the icon or press Ctrl+Shift+Space (⌘+Shift+Space on Mac). ▸ SESSION SAVE & RESTORE — PRO Save your current tabs as a named session — "Client Project," "Research," "Job Search" — and restore the entire workspace in one click. Save all your tabs, or just one Chrome tab group. Unlike Chrome's "Continue where you left off," which only remembers your last session, Nest keeps multiple named sessions you can return to any time, on any of your devices. ▸ EXPORT & BACKUP — PRO Export your tabs to HTML or JSON for archiving, sharing, or migrating. Your tabs are never locked inside one browser or one tool. ▸ CLOUD SYNC — PRO Save a session on your work laptop and restore it on your home desktop. Your organized workspace follows you across devices. ▸ AI ASSISTANT — NEST CHAT — PRO Manage tabs using plain language. Ask NEST Chat to find tabs, close duplicates, snooze distractions, summarize a page, translate it, list closed tabs, organize your workspace, and more — around 40 actions, no menus required. AI is entirely optional; everything above works without it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHO NEST IS FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Developers juggling docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub, localhost, and tickets across several projects • Researchers and students managing dozens of sources, papers, and reading lists • Remote workers switching between clients and contexts all day • Anyone who keeps "too many tabs" open and wants their browser back ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO… ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Most tab tools do one thing. Nest replaces a stack of single-purpose extensions with one: • OneTab — keeps your tabs organized into categories instead of one flat list, and lets you restore selectively. • Session Buddy — adds tab categories, notes, snooze, and optional sync on top of session saving. • Workona — a lighter, local-first option that doesn't require an account to get started. • Toby — organizes tabs in context from a popup, without taking over your new-tab page. • Tab Wrangler — declutters on your terms with deliberate snooze, instead of auto-closing tabs on a timer. • The Great Suspender (removed for malware) — a safe, maintained way to keep tab memory down, with one-click suspending and scheduled snooze. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY NEST ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • FREE TO START — tab organization, domain rules, snooze, notes, search, duplicate cleanup, tab suspending, and closed-tab recovery are all free and work without an account. • LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE — your data stays on your device by default. Sync and AI are optional upgrades you turn on only if you want them. • LIGHTWEIGHT — capable without slowing Chrome down or hoarding memory. • ALL-IN-ONE — organization, recovery, focus, and notes in a single tab management extension. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREE vs PRO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Free, no account needed: tab categories and domain rules, Chrome tab group syncing, tab snooze, notes, search, duplicate cleanup, tab suspending, and restoring closed tabs on this device. Pro (optional): saved sessions, export, cross-device cloud sync, and the NEST Chat AI assistant. Monthly, with a 3-day free trial. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Q: Is Nest free? A: Yes. Organizing tabs into categories, domain rules, snoozing, notes, search, duplicate cleanup, tab suspending, and restoring closed tabs are all free and work without an account. Saved sessions, export, cross-device sync, and the AI assistant are Pro. Q: Do I need to create an account? A: No. Core features are local-first and work offline. You only sign in if you want saved sessions, cloud sync, or the AI assistant. Q: Will Nest help with too many tabs slowing down Chrome? A: Yes. Suspend background tabs to free memory instantly, close duplicates in one click, and snooze tabs you're not using — snoozed tabs close completely and come back exactly when you asked. Q: Can it recover my tabs after a crash? A: Yes. Nest keeps a backup of your open and recently closed tabs, so you can bring back what you lost instead of rebuilding it from history. Q: Does Nest mess with my Chrome tab groups? A: Only in the ways you'd want. A tab you deliberately put in a group is never moved out. You can turn the syncing off completely in Settings if you'd rather Nest didn't touch your browser at all. Q: Is my data private? A: Your tab data stays local by default. Titles and URLs are only sent for AI commands if you enable the optional AI assistant, and page content is only read when you explicitly ask for it. Anonymous usage counts can be switched off in Settings. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Full guide: nestextended.com/guide Add Nest to Chrome and take back control of your tabs — organize, snooze, clean up, and restore, free.
