Save your open tabs to a .txt file and restore them later. Simple session management for Chrome and Firefox. Inspired by my girlfriend noting that her laptop was being slow, and then noticing about a million tabs open. Guys, suggesting she close the tabs was a really bad idea and a bad suggestion because clearly she might have needed them later. 0/10 will not repeat. So I made this to help instead! :p (.. now she uses it!) An incredibly simple tool to save your open tabs to a .txt file and restore them later. Like bookmarking except for context instead of single pages. Works in Chrome and Firefox. Two buttons: - Save dumps all your current tabs to a timestamped .txt file. - Load opens that file and restores the tabs. ### Settings Click the gear icon in the top right. *Keep Current Tabs* When this is on, loaded tabs get added alongside whatever you already have open. They'll be grouped together in a new tab group (Chrome only) named after the file. When it's off, your current tabs get removed and the session is replaced entirely with the one from the file. *Include Pinned Tabs* On by default. Toggle this off if you have tabs pinned permanently and don't want them ending up in every saved session. *Skip Duplicate URLs* When saving, this filters out any tabs sharing the same exact URL. When loading, it skips any URLs already open in your current session. Exact match only. **Include Sleeping Tabs** On by default. When off, sleeping (discarded) tabs are excluded from saved sessions. *Custom Filename* Off by default. Turn this on and you'll get a prompt to name your session before it saves. Leave it blank and it falls back to the timestamp name anyway. ### Useful for Projects with lots of tabs — research, development, writing. Save the whole context, close it all, come back to it later exactly where you left off. Freeing up memory — browsers get slow with 40 tabs open. Save the session, close the window, reopen when you need it. Easier than keeping it all open in the background. Not quite bookmarks — bookmarks are for things you go back to regularly. This is for things you're in the middle of that you might never need again after this week. The .txt file lives in your downloads until you delete it. Moving sessions around — the .txt file is just a list of URLs so you can open it on a different machine, a different browser, or send it to someone else entirely.
