Tab Vault - Session & Tab Group Backup

Save, back up and restore browser sessions, including tab groups. Local only: no account, no tracking, no network.

Tab Vault saves your browser sessions, backs them up to a file, and restores them later, including tab groups with their names and colors. Lost tabs after a crash, a restart or a tidy-up gone wrong? Tab Vault keeps a copy of your windows and tabs on your computer, so you can put things back the way they were. SAVE - Save all windows at once, or just the current window. - Keeps every tab in order, pinned tabs, tab groups (name, color, collapsed or open) and window positions. - Name your sessions, add tags, and search across names, tags, tab titles and addresses. RESTORE - Restore a whole session, a single window, one tab group or individual tabs. - Tab groups come back with their names and colors. - Quick actions in the toolbar popup; a full manager page for everything else. BACK UP - Export all sessions to a JSON file and import them on another computer or profile. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Everything stays on your computer. No account, no servers, no analytics, no ads, no network requests. - No access to any website. Tab Vault never reads page content or cookies, does not use Chrome's history API, and ignores incognito windows. It stores the addresses and titles of the tabs in the sessions you save, with their layout (pinned tabs, groups, window position). Chrome labels the "tabs" permission as "Read your browsing history" because it lets an extension see the addresses of open tabs. FREE VERSION Up to 5 saved sessions, manual saving, restoring windows, tabs and tab groups (with names and colors), search, rename, tags, JSON export and import. Your saved sessions are never deleted if you stay on the free version. PRO UPGRADE (PLANNED, NOT ON SALE YET) The extension already contains the Pro features; they appear as locked buttons marked PRO. A Pro upgrade is planned and is unlocked with a license key that is checked on your computer: - Unlimited saved sessions - Automatic snapshots on a schedule (every 15 minutes by default) with rotation, so you can go back to how your windows looked an hour ago - A daily backup file written to Downloads/TabVault - Duplicate tab finder, and "skip tabs that are already open" when restoring HOW IT WORKS Click the toolbar icon to save the current state. Open the manager (Open Tab Vault) to browse sessions, restore parts of them, search and organize. If you have a license key, paste it under "Plan & license". Tab Vault is an independent extension and is not affiliated with Google or Chrome.
