ExtLab Sessions: Session Manager & Save Tabs

Session manager to save tabs and windows, close them to free memory, and restore them later. Automatic backups keep your tabs safe.

Save your tabs and get them back. ExtLab Sessions is a session manager for Chrome: save one window or all of them as a named session, close the tabs to free memory, and restore them with one click. While you browse, it keeps automatic backups on your computer, so a crash, an update or a window closed by mistake does not take your tabs with it. FREE • Save this window or all windows as a session, with a name or the date and time • Save and close in one click to free memory, and keep pinned tabs open • Restore a whole session into new windows, one window, or one tab • Restore tabs unloaded, so 100 tabs do not load at once • Pinned tabs, tab groups with their name, colour and collapsed state, and window size and place are kept • Automatic backups: the state of every window a few seconds after each change, a snapshot every 10 minutes (5 to 60, your choice), and a backup of each window you close • After a crash or a restart, the icon shows a badge and offers back the tabs that are missing • 7 days of backup history, browsable by day • Search every saved session by tab title and URL • Find and close duplicate tabs, and remove duplicates from a session • A trash that keeps deleted sessions for 30 days, and Undo • Keyboard shortcuts to save, save and close, and restore • Light and dark mode MOVING FROM ONETAB OR SESSION BUDDY? • Import OneTab's "Export URLs" text. Each OneTab group becomes a session. • Import Session Buddy's JSON export, from the current version and from older ones, with window names and pinned tabs. • Import any text with links in it. • Export to JSON, to plain "URL | Title" text that OneTab reads, and to an HTML bookmarks file that Chrome can import. PRO • Sync of saved sessions between your computers, end-to-end encrypted with your passphrase • 90 days of backup history instead of 7 Pro is a yearly license from Gumroad for 19 USD per year. Everything else is free, with no account. PRIVACY Your tabs stay in your browser. The extension reads the titles and URLs of your open tabs to save them, and it does not read what is on the pages. Nothing about your tabs leaves your computer unless you turn on Pro sync. Sync encrypts each session on your computer with your passphrase before it is sent, so our server cannot read it. Backups never leave the computer that made them. Chrome deletes an extension's data when you remove it, so export your sessions first if you uninstall. ExtLab is not affiliated with OneTab, Session Buddy or Google. Their names are used only to say which files the extension can import.
