  DockTabs is a local-first tab session manager for Chrome. Save the current window or all windows, restore a full session later, search saved tabs by title or URL, keep automatic local snapshots for recovery, and export or import sessions as JSON — all without sign-in.
  
  Main features:
  • Save the current window or all windows as reusable tab sessions
  • Restore a full session later when tabs are lost, closed, or after a restart
  • Keep automatic local snapshots for crash recovery
  • Search saved sessions and tabs by title, URL, or session name
  • Organize tabs in the current window by copying, editing, grouping, or removing selected tabs
  • Export sessions to JSON for backup and import them back anytime
  • Works locally in your browser for fast tab recovery without an account
  
  DockTabs is built for people who often keep many tabs open and want a simple way to save tabs, restore tabs, and keep a reliable local backup of browsing sessions.

  DockTabs helps you save what is open before tabs disappear. Save the current window or all open windows, restore a full session later, and keep automatic local snapshots for safer recovery. Everything starts locally on this browser, so you can use DockTabs without creating an account.
