Tab Buddy — Session & Tab Manager

Save, restore & sync tabs and tab groups. Command-palette search, crash recovery, thumbnails, encrypted sync. Free, no account.

Tab Buddy is a session manager that lets you save and restore tabs and tab groups without losing a thing. Never lose a tab to a crash or a bad update again — restore a whole session, a single window, or just one tab, and keep your native Chrome tab groups fully intact (name, colour, and order), which the older tools quietly destroy on restore. Whether you're deep in research, juggling a dozen projects, or just drowning in open tabs, Tab Buddy gives you back control — fast, local-first, and free. 💾 Save & restore whole sessions, single windows, groups, or one tab — never all-or-nothing 🗂️ Preserves native Chrome tab groups: names, colours, collapsed state, and order ⌘ Command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K) — fuzzy search across open tabs, saved sessions & archive 🖼️ Visual thumbnail grid + dense keyboard list — find a tab by what the page looked like ♻️ Automatic crash recovery — rolling background snapshots so a crash costs you nothing 🧹 One-click auto-group by domain or time; find & close duplicate tabs; flag stale tabs 🔒 Optional end-to-end encrypted sync across devices — we can't read your data 📤 Export to JSON, CSV, Markdown, HTML — your data is never locked in 📥 One-click import from OneTab & Session Buddy — switch with nothing lost 🆓 Free, no account required, no tracking, local-first Perfect for: researchers, developers, students, and anyone drowning in tabs. Tab Buddy is a product from niallcodes — an independent software project based in the United Kingdom.
