TabsPack: Cross Browser Tab Export & Restore av palworks

Close your browser without losing your place.

TabsPack saves every tab you have open into one small file and puts them back exactly as they were: the same windows, the same order, the same pinned tabs, the same tab groups. In the same browser, or a different one.

If you keep ninety tabs open because each one is a note to your future self, this is what lets you close them.

📦 WHAT IT DOES

✓ Save every open tab to one file
✓ Save just this window, or only the tabs you select
✓ Restore every window, pinned tab and tab group
✓ Move your tabs between Chrome, Edge and Firefox
✓ Switch computers without losing your session
✓ Keep named snapshots inside the browser
✓ Get your tabs back after a crash
✓ Open files saved by other tab managers
✓ Find and archive tabs untouched for months
✓ Copy a plain list of links when you need one

🔁 EVERYTHING COMES BACK, NOT JUST THE ADDRESSES

Most exporters hand you a list of links. A list of links is not a session.

TabsPack restores your windows with their size and position, every tab in its original order, which tabs were pinned, which tab was active in each window, and your tab groups with their names, colours and collapsed state.

💤 TWO HUNDRED TABS, AND YOUR COMPUTER DOES NOT NOTICE

Restored tabs open asleep. They sit in the tab strip with their title and address, and load nothing until you click one.

A restore of 200 real pages takes about nine seconds and leaves 199 of them unloaded. That was measured in a real browser, not estimated.

⏳ SEE WHICH TABS DIED MONTHS AGO

TabsPack groups your open tabs by when you last looked at them, and can leave anything untouched for a month, three months, six months or a year out of the export, so you can archive it and close it with a clear conscience.

It never guesses. A pinned tab is never called old, and a tab your browser gives no date for is counted separately and never dropped.

🧯 A CRASH DOES NOT COST YOU YOUR TABS

TabsPack keeps one quiet copy of your open tabs on this machine, and your last five sessions. If the browser crashes, or starts without your tabs, it tells you how many are missing and shows them to you before anything opens.

Automatic snapshots save your session every hour, every four hours or once a day. They skip the times nothing changed, and keep the newest ten, or as many as you choose.

🔓 IT UNWRAPS SUSPENDED TABS

Tab suspender extensions park your tab on their own page and hide the real address inside it. No other browser can reopen that, and if the suspender ever leaves the store, the tab goes with it.

TabsPack reads the real address back out, on export and on import, and tells you how many it recovered.

📥 IT READS WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

Already saved your tabs with another tab manager? TabsPack opens the export files of the popular ones, your browser's saved bookmarks and simple lists of links. It works out what a file is by reading it, not by its name, and shows you what it found before a single tab opens.

🔒 YOUR TABS NEVER LEAVE YOUR DEVICE

This is not a policy. It is a property of the build.

• No host permission at install, so out of the box TabsPack cannot reach any website
• No account, no sync, no analytics, no telemetry, no advertising
• No content script, so it cannot read a page even if it wanted to
• An export holds addresses, titles and structure. Never cookies, passwords or form data

There is exactly one network request TabsPack can make, and you make it: pressing Send in the Support pane. Your browser asks your permission first, and if you decline, the message goes to your own email app instead.

📄 AN OPEN FORMAT, SO IT DOES NOT MATTER IF WE DISAPPEAR

A .tabspack.json file is ordinary JSON against a published schema. Open it in a text editor, compare two of them, keep one in a repository. The whole source is published under the MIT licence.

⚡ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

Alt+Shift+E exports every window. Alt+Shift+D exports the current one. Alt+Shift+S saves a snapshot. You can change all three in your browser.

No paid tier, no trial, no account, no advertising, no data collection.
