Tab backup and recovery for Chrome

The Chrome tab manager that verifies every save

Save hundreds of tabs in one click. Tab Keeper checks every backup after saving it and keeps earlier versions, so you can recover after a crash, failed update, or accidental deletion.

No account required. Your tabs stay in your browser unless you turn on Cloud Backup.

Save and close every tab in one clickRestore earlier versions after a mistake or crashRecover deleted groups from Trash for 30 days

Know every save worked

Tab Keeper does not mark a save as complete until it has been written to disk, read back, and checked. If a crash interrupts the process, your last verified backup remains intact.

Go back to an earlier version

Browse your version history and restore the version you need. Deleted a group by mistake? It waits in Trash for 30 days with one-click undo.

Why users choose Tab Keeper

Most tab managers focus on saving and restoring sessions. Tab Keeper also focuses on durability: verified backups, version history, a 30-day Trash, and optional Cloud Backup to Dropbox or Tab Keeper Cloud.

Bring your existing tabs with you

Import from OneTab, Session Buddy, Tab Session Manager, or TheTab. Export to OneTab text or JSON anytime—no lock-in.

If a previous extension left tab data behind in your browser, Tab Keeper may be able to recover it. Availability depends on the extension and whether its local data is still present.

Cloud Backup—a Pro option

Back up beyond your browser, your way

Restore from your Cloud Backup after reinstalling Tab Keeper or setting it up on another computer. You choose where your backups live.

Your Dropbox

Portable backups you keep and control—saved as readable JSON in an app-only folder. They stay in your Dropbox, and Tab Keeper never receives their contents.

Tab Keeper Cloud

Your tabs are encrypted on your device before they leave your browser, using AES-256. Our servers receive only encrypted data, and we don't have the key to decrypt it.

Core tab protection is free

The free plan includes verified backups, version history, 30-day Trash, import, and export—with no account required. Pro adds Cloud Backup, so you can restore on other computers.
