    The AI tab manager for people who keep 40+ tabs open and refuse to lose any of them.
    
    Nest auto-groups your tabs into clean, color-coded Chrome tab groups in one click, snoozes distractions until you actually need them, saves your entire workspace as a session you can restore tomorrow, and lets you attach notes to any page.
    
    Free forever. No account required. Your tabs stay on your device.
    
    ★ WHAT NEST DOES
    
    ✦ AI AUTO-GROUP TABS
    One click sorts your open tabs into color-coded Chrome tab groups by topic, project, or domain. Or type plain English:
    ▸ "Group all my Figma and Notion tabs"
    ▸ "Split work from personal"
    ▸ "Group everything by domain"
    Built on Chrome's native tab groups API — works everywhere Chrome groups work.
    
    ✦ DOMAIN RULES
    Pin any domain to a category once and forget it. Every github.com tab goes to Dev. Every figma.com tab goes to Design. Rules apply automatically as you open new tabs.
    
    ✦ SNOOZE TABS
    Don't close it. Don't bookmark it. Snooze it. For an hour, until tomorrow morning, next Monday, or a custom minute. Snoozed tabs leave your window and come back exactly when you scheduled them — surviving restarts, crashes, and Chrome updates.
    
    ✦ SAVE & RESTORE SESSIONS (WORKSPACES)
    Capture your entire browser workspace — tabs, windows, tab groups, and window order — and restore it in one click. Perfect for switching between clients, projects, research threads, or Monday-morning vs. Friday-afternoon without losing context.
    
    ✦ NOTES ON ANY TAB
    Attach notes to any page so context doesn't get lost. Research, reminders, pricing comparisons, project thinking — it stays with the tab, not in another app.
    
    ✦ TALK TO YOUR TABS (optional)
    Manage tabs in plain English. Free Nest account required for this feature only.
    ▸ "Snooze everything except Slack until 3pm"
    ▸ "Close every Twitter tab"
    ▸ "Bring back yesterday's research session"
    ▸ "Search for pricing across every open tab"
    
    ★ WHY PEOPLE USE NEST
    
    ▸ One-click AI organization into Chrome tab groups — no setup, no rules to write
    ▸ Snooze tabs to the exact minute you want them back
    ▸ Full session backup and restore — tabs, groups, and window order
    ▸ Domain rules: pin any site to a category forever
    ▸ Multi-window awareness so you always know which window a tab lives in
    ▸ Sync sessions across devices (optional, free)
    ▸ Notes that stay with the page
    ▸ Auto-color tab groups by category
    ▸ Lightweight Manifest V3 — sleeps when idle, doesn't slow Chrome

    ✓ Founders, operators, and developers who live in the browser
    ✓ Anyone with tab-clutter anxiety
    
    ★ PRIVACY & TRUST
    
    Nest is privacy-first by design:
    ▸ Tab titles and URLs only by default. Page content never leaves your device unless you opt in per session.
    ▸ Local-first. Your tabs, sessions, and notes live on your device.
    ▸ Optional sync across devices, free and opt-in.
    ▸ No selling user data. No ads. No third-party trackers. No analytics on your tabs.
    ▸ Export all your data to JSON anytime. Uninstall removes everything.
    ▸ Manifest V3, built for modern Chrome.
    
    ★ WHAT'S NEW IN 1.2.0
    
    ▸ Domain Rules: pin any domain to a category and have every future tab from that site routed there automatically
    ▸ Multi-window awareness: tabs in other windows get a small letter badge so you always know where they live
    ▸ Snooze straight from any category in Organize — no need to switch views
    ▸ Category headers now show live tab counts, color dots, and "X new today" insights
    ▸ Auto-snooze: new tabs that open into a currently-snoozed category snooze themselves automatically
    ▸ Cleaner, minimalist scrollbar with soft fade gradients instead of a hard scrollbar
    ▸ Unified search across Organize, Snooze, Notes, and Backup
    ▸ Faster, more reliable sync between devices
    ▸ Numerous reliability fixes and security hardening
    
    ★ FREQUENTLY ASKED
    
    Q: Is it really free?
    A: Yes. Auto-group, snooze, sessions, notes, and domain rules are free forever with no account. A free Nest account unlocks the optional Talk-to-Your-Tabs chat.
    
    Q: Will I lose my tabs if I uninstall?
    A: No. Export any session to JSON anytime. Uninstall removes all local data — nothing left behind.
    
    Q: Does it work offline?
    A: Yes. Grouping, snoozing, sessions, notes, and rules work fully offline. Only the optional chat needs a connection.
    
    Q: Does it slow Chrome down?
    A: No. Lightweight Manifest V3 service worker. Sleeps when idle.
    
    Q: Does it work with my existing Chrome tab groups?
    A: Yes. Nest uses Chrome's native tab groups, so anything you've already set up stays put.
    
    ★ GET STARTED
    
    1. Install Nest (10 seconds)

    The AI tab manager for people who live in the browser. Install Nest.
    Drowning in Chrome tabs? Nest is a free Chrome tab manager that brings tab organization, session save & restore, tab snoozing, notes, and an optional AI assistant together in one fast, private extension. Instead of a cramped wall of tiny tabs, you get an organized workspace you can group, save, search, and restore in a single click.
    
    Whether you keep 20 tabs or 200, Nest helps you take back control — organize tabs into categories, snooze the ones you don't need right now, save whole sessions, and never lose your work to a crash again.
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    EVERYTHING NEST DOES
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    ▸ SMART TAB GROUPS & ORGANIZATION
    Sort your open tabs into named, color-coded categories so related work stays together. Set domain rules so tabs from a given site (GitHub, Gmail, your docs) automatically route to the right category — Nest learns how you organize and keeps it tidy for you. It's a tab organizer that actually scales past Chrome's built-in tab groups, because your categories persist across windows and restarts.
    
    ▸ SESSION SAVE & RESTORE (CHROME SESSION MANAGER)
    Save your current windows and tabs as a named session — "Client Project," "Research," "Job Search" — and restore the entire workspace in one click. Unlike Chrome's "Continue where you left off," which only remembers your last session, Nest keeps multiple named sessions you can return to any time. It's a full session manager for Chrome, built for people who switch between projects.
    
    ▸ RESTORE CLOSED TABS & RECOVER FROM CRASHES
    Accidentally closed a tab or window? Restore it instantly. Chrome crashed mid-project? Recover the whole session — not just the most recent one. Nest keeps reliable backups so a restart never means rebuilding an hour of gathered context.
    
    ▸ TAB SNOOZE
    Hide distracting tabs and have them reappear exactly when you need them — in an hour, tonight, tomorrow morning, or on a custom schedule. Snoozed tabs close completely (freeing memory) and come back on time. It's like a to-do list made of tabs, and a modern way to keep Chrome's memory use down.
    
    ▸ NOTES FOR YOUR TABS
    Attach rich-text notes to any tab or category. Keep research, links, decisions, and next steps right where the work is — so context never gets lost in a separate notes app. When you restore a session weeks later, your notes come back with it.
    
    ▸ POWERFUL SEARCH
    Find any open or recently closed tab in seconds. Search across windows, categories, and your tab history without digging — perfect when you "know you had it open somewhere."
    
    ▸ EXPORT & BACKUP
    Export your sessions to HTML or JSON for archiving, sharing, or migrating. Your tabs are never locked inside one browser or one tool.
    
    ▸ OPTIONAL AI ASSISTANT — NEST CHAT
    Manage tabs using plain language. Ask NEST Chat to find tabs, close duplicate tabs, snooze distractions, summarize a page, list closed tabs, organize your workspace, and more — 30+ tab actions, no menus required. AI is entirely optional; everything else works without it.
    
    ▸ CLOUD SYNC (OPTIONAL)
    Save a session on your work laptop and restore it on your home desktop. Your organized workspace follows you across devices.
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    WHO NEST IS FOR
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    • Developers juggling docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub, localhost, and tickets across several projects
    • Researchers and students managing dozens of sources, papers, and reading lists
    • Remote workers switching between clients and contexts all day
    • Anyone who keeps "too many tabs" open and wants their browser back
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO…
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    Most tab tools do one thing. Nest replaces a stack of single-purpose extensions with one:
    
    • OneTab — keeps your tabs organized into categories instead of one flat list, and lets you restore selectively.
    • Session Buddy — adds tab categories, notes, snooze, and optional sync on top of session saving.
    • Workona — a lighter, local-first option that doesn't require an account to get started.
    • Toby — organizes tabs in context from a popup, without taking over your new-tab page.
    • Tab Wrangler — declutters on your terms with deliberate snooze, instead of auto-closing tabs on a timer.
    • The Great Suspender (removed for malware) — a safe, maintained way to keep tab memory down, using snooze plus Chrome's Memory Saver.
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    WHY NEST
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    • FREE TO START — tab groups, session save/restore, snooze, notes, and search are free and work without an account.
    • LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE — your data stays on your device by default. Sync and AI are optional upgrades you turn on only if you want them.
    • LIGHTWEIGHT — capable without slowing Chrome down or hoarding memory.
    • ALL-IN-ONE — organization, recovery, focus, and notes in a single tab management extension.
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    FREE vs PRO
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    Free: tab groups & categories, session save/restore, tab snooze, notes, search, and export.
    Pro (optional): cross-device cloud sync and the NEST Chat AI assistant.
    
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    
    Q: Is Nest free?
    A: Yes. The core tab manager — groups, sessions, snooze, notes, search, and export — is free and works without an account.
    
    Q: Do I need to create an account?
    A: No. Core features are local-first and work offline. You only sign in if you want cloud sync or the AI assistant.
    
    Q: Will Nest help with too many tabs slowing down Chrome?
    A: Yes. Snooze tabs you're not using (they close and free memory), organize the rest into categories, and save sessions so you can close groups of tabs without losing them.
    
    Q: Can it recover my tabs after a crash?
    A: Yes. Nest keeps session backups so you can restore an entire workspace in one click, even after an unexpected restart.
    
    Q: Is my data private?
    A: Your tab data stays local by default. Titles/URLs are only sent for AI commands if you enable the optional AI assistant, and page content is only read when you explicitly ask for it.

    Add Nest to Chrome and take back control of your tabs — organize, save, snooze, and restore, free.

    NOTES TIED TO YOUR BROWSING
    Attach notes to any tab so context does not get lost. Use them for research, reminders, comparisons, or project thinking.
    
    CHAT WITH YOUR TABS (optional)
    Use natural language to manage tabs faster:
    - "Close every Twitter tab"
    - "Group all my work tabs"
    - "Snooze everything except Slack until 3pm"
    - "Bring back yesterday's research session"
    - "What did I write about this article?"
    - "Search for pricing across every open tab"

About

Drowning in Chrome tabs? Nest is a free Chrome tab manager that brings tab organization, session save & restore, tab snoozing, notes, and an optional AI assistant together in one fast, private extension. Instead of a cramped wall of tiny tabs, you get an organized workspace you can group, save, search, and restore in a single click.

Whether you keep 20 tabs or 200, Nest helps you take back control — organize tabs into categories, snooze the ones you don't need right now, save whole sessions, and never lose your work to a crash again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EVERYTHING NEST DOES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

▸ SMART TAB GROUPS & ORGANIZATION
Sort your open tabs into named, color-coded categories so related work stays together. Set domain rules so tabs from a given site (GitHub, Gmail, your docs) automatically route to the right category — Nest learns how you organize and keeps it tidy for you. It's a tab organizer that actually scales past Chrome's built-in tab groups, because your categories persist across windows and restarts.

▸ SESSION SAVE & RESTORE (CHROME SESSION MANAGER)
Save your current windows and tabs as a named session — "Client Project," "Research," "Job Search" — and restore the entire workspace in one click. Unlike Chrome's "Continue where you left off," which only remembers your last session, Nest keeps multiple named sessions you can return to any time. It's a full session manager for Chrome, built for people who switch between projects.

▸ RESTORE CLOSED TABS & RECOVER FROM CRASHES
Accidentally closed a tab or window? Restore it instantly. Chrome crashed mid-project? Recover the whole session — not just the most recent one. Nest keeps reliable backups so a restart never means rebuilding an hour of gathered context.

▸ TAB SNOOZE
Hide distracting tabs and have them reappear exactly when you need them — in an hour, tonight, tomorrow morning, or on a custom schedule. Snoozed tabs close completely (freeing memory) and come back on time. It's like a to-do list made of tabs, and a modern way to keep Chrome's memory use down.

▸ NOTES FOR YOUR TABS
Attach rich-text notes to any tab or category. Keep research, links, decisions, and next steps right where the work is — so context never gets lost in a separate notes app. When you restore a session weeks later, your notes come back with it.

▸ POWERFUL SEARCH
Find any open or recently closed tab in seconds. Search across windows, categories, and your tab history without digging — perfect when you "know you had it open somewhere."

▸ EXPORT & BACKUP
Export your sessions to HTML or JSON for archiving, sharing, or migrating. Your tabs are never locked inside one browser or one tool.

▸ OPTIONAL AI ASSISTANT — NEST CHAT
Manage tabs using plain language. Ask NEST Chat to find tabs, close duplicate tabs, snooze distractions, summarize a page, list closed tabs, organize your workspace, and more — 30+ tab actions, no menus required. AI is entirely optional; everything else works without it.

▸ CLOUD SYNC (OPTIONAL)
Save a session on your work laptop and restore it on your home desktop. Your organized workspace follows you across devices.

WHO NEST IS FOR
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Developers juggling docs, Stack Overflow, GitHub, localhost, and tickets across several projects
• Researchers and students managing dozens of sources, papers, and reading lists
• Remote workers switching between clients and contexts all day
• Anyone who keeps "too many tabs" open and wants their browser back

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most tab tools do one thing. Nest replaces a stack of single-purpose extensions with one:

• OneTab — keeps your tabs organized into categories instead of one flat list, and lets you restore selectively.
• Session Buddy — adds tab categories, notes, snooze, and optional sync on top of session saving.
• Workona — a lighter, local-first option that doesn't require an account to get started.
• Toby — organizes tabs in context from a popup, without taking over your new-tab page.
• Tab Wrangler — declutters on your terms with deliberate snooze, instead of auto-closing tabs on a timer.
• The Great Suspender (removed for malware) — a safe, maintained way to keep tab memory down, using snooze plus Chrome's Memory Saver.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHY NEST
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• FREE TO START — tab groups, session save/restore, snooze, notes, and search are free and work without an account.
• LOCAL-FIRST & PRIVATE — your data stays on your device by default. Sync and AI are optional upgrades you turn on only if you want them.
• LIGHTWEIGHT — capable without slowing Chrome down or hoarding memory.
• ALL-IN-ONE — organization, recovery, focus, and notes in a single tab management extension.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FREE vs PRO
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Free: tab groups & categories, session save/restore, tab snooze, notes, search, and export.
Pro (optional): cross-device cloud sync and the NEST Chat AI assistant.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: Is Nest free?
A: Yes. The core tab manager — groups, sessions, snooze, notes, search, and export — is free and works without an account.

Q: Do I need to create an account?
A: No. Core features are local-first and work offline. You only sign in if you want cloud sync or the AI assistant.

Q: Will Nest help with too many tabs slowing down Chrome?
A: Yes. Snooze tabs you're not using (they close and free memory), organize the rest into categories, and save sessions so you can close groups of tabs without losing them.

Q: Can it recover my tabs after a crash?
A: Yes. Nest keeps session backups so you can restore an entire workspace in one click, even after an unexpected restart.

Q: Is my data private?
A: Your tab data stays local by default. Titles/URLs are only sent for AI commands if you enable the optional AI assistant, and page content is only read when you explicitly ask for it.
