About Workspace Recovery Vault – Session Manager & Tab Backup
Lost your tabs after Chrome crashed, updated or closed the wrong window? Workspace Recovery Vault is a Chrome session manager that saves your whole workspace automatically, so you can restore tabs, windows and tab groups from any point in the last week, free.
★ WHAT IT DOES
• Automatic restore points: your windows, tabs, pinned tabs and tab groups are saved every 5 minutes and after changes, while Chrome runs. No need to remember to save a session.
• Recovery timeline: restore points grouped by date and searchable by page title or address.
• Preview before you restore: see which tabs are missing, added or moved compared with what's open now.
• Restore only what you need: tick individual tabs, whole windows or tab groups. They reopen in new windows with their groups and pins, and your current tabs stay open.
• Verified integrity: every restore point has a checksum, so a damaged save is flagged instead of silently restoring the wrong thing.
• Backups you own: export readable JSON or passphrase-encrypted archives, and import them on another computer or Chrome profile.
★ WHY NOT JUST USE CHROME'S "RESTORE TABS"?
Chrome keeps your last session and a short "Recently closed" list. If Chrome restarts again, or you close the wrong window, that can be gone. The Vault keeps its own dated history of sessions, shows what's missing, and lets you restore selectively.
★ GREAT FOR
Researchers, students, developers, writers and anyone who works with dozens of tabs open, uses tab groups, or has lost a browser session to a crash, an update or an accidental Quit.
★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Restore points stay in your Chrome profile.
• Only tab addresses, titles and window/group organisation are saved. Never page contents, form drafts, cookies, passwords or Incognito tabs.
• Nothing is injected into the websites you visit.
• No ads, no analytics, no remotely loaded code.
★ FREE, WITH OPTIONAL UPGRADES
Free, with no time limit: automatic local restore points, 7-day history, integrity checks, recovery previews, basic search and manual encrypted export and import.
Optional Pro (£2.99 per month or £24 per year, renews until cancelled): up to one year of history for new restore points, date, domain and device filters, scheduled encrypted downloads, and separately enabled encrypted cloud recovery on up to five devices. Cloud limits are 250 MB per account and 10 MB per copy. Hourly cloud backups run while Chrome is running. Copies expire after one year, and uploads pause when storage is full.
Optional Local Lifetime (£49 once): the local premium features with a permanent signed activation certificate. Excludes vendor-hosted cloud backup.
Cloud archives are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM. The passphrase is never sent to the service. Save both the cloud passphrase and your private account recovery code, because SagePennyStudio cannot replace or decrypt them. Checkout uses Stripe Managed Payments and cloud storage uses Cloudflare. Every payment has a 14-day refund window; see the plan terms for cancellation and consumer rights.
★ HOW TO USE
1. Add to Chrome and pin the Vault icon.
2. Keep browsing. Restore points are created automatically.
3. After a crash or lost window, click the icon, choose a restore point, check the preview and click Recover.
