About Tab Snapshotter
Tab Snapshotter saves your open tabs as named sessions — each with a short note about why you had them open — so you can restore an entire research context days or weeks later, not just a list of forgotten links.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Saving tabs is easy. Remembering why you saved them isn't. Most tab managers hand you a pile of URLs with no context, leaving you to reverse-engineer your own thinking. Tab Snapshotter captures the reasoning alongside the tabs, so a saved session brings back your train of thought — not just your browser history.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the icon and select "Save current tabs."
2. Name the session and add a one-line note about what you were working on.
3. Reopen it anytime — every tab returns, along with the context you left for yourself.
Restore sessions in a new window or your current one, and remove any session you no longer need in a single click. No setup, no learning curve.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Your data never leaves your device.
- Stored entirely in local browser storage
- No account, no sign-in, no cloud
- No tracking, analytics, or advertising
- No access to the content of the pages you visit
PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED CLEARLY
Tab Snapshotter requests only two permissions: access to your open tabs, so it can save and restore them, and local storage, so your sessions persist between browser sessions. Nothing more.
Free and open source. Built for anyone who works across many tabs and wants a tab manager that remembers the context — not just the links.
