Tab Lifeboat: Auto Tab Backup & Session Restore

Auto-saves every window, tab group and tab, with a backup file outside the browser. Restore after a crash, bad update or reinstall.

Your tabs, backed up outside the browser. When a browser crashes, updates badly or gets its profile wiped, everything stored inside it can go too: your open tabs, your sessions, and the tab manager that was supposed to save them. Tab Lifeboat is a backup, not a tab organizer. It keeps your tabs where the browser can't lose them. How it works Within a minute of every change, Tab Lifeboat saves a snapshot of all your windows, tab groups and tabs. Every hour it also writes a backup file to your Downloads folder, outside the browser profile. Lost something? Pick any moment and restore everything, one window, one tab group with its name and color, or a single tab. If the profile itself is gone, import the backup file and restore. Built to survive what breaks - Outside the browser: the backup file lives in your Downloads folder and survives a wiped profile or a reinstall - Crash-safe: a half-restored session after a restart never replaces your last good snapshot - Restore last session in two clicks, right from the toolbar - Tab groups come back with name, color and collapsed state - Search every saved tab by title or address, jump to any day in the calendar - Delete a snapshot, a day, a page or everything, from the backup file too Private by design No account, no servers of ours, no analytics. Your tabs stay on your device; with Pro cloud backup they go end-to-end encrypted to your own storage, and we never see them. Apart from that, the only thing the extension sends is a Pro license key, to check it with our payment provider. Free, and Pro when you want more The free version keeps the last 7 days ready to restore and saves older days for 90 days, one snapshot a day. Tab Lifeboat Pro is a one-time purchase, no subscription: your whole history instead of the last 7 days (you choose how long, from 30 days to forever), calendar and search across all of it, the days already saved unlocked right away, and automatic end-to-end encrypted backups to your own cloud storage or NAS, with restore on any computer. Snapshot comparison arrives as a free update. Details at tablifeboat.com.
