  # Remember Windows
  
  Save and restore your browser workspace in seconds.
  
  ## What It Does
  
  Remember Windows captures your entire browser setup - all windows, tabs, positions, and sizes - and lets you restore it anytime with a simple copy/paste.
  
  ## Features
  
  - **Save All Windows** - Capture every open window with exact screen positions and sizes
  - **Human-Readable Format** - Saved data is plain text, easy to read and edit
  - **Selective Restore** - Delete lines you don't need, keep only the tabs you want to reopen
  - **Paste Any URLs** - Paste a list of URLs from anywhere and open them all at once
  - **Portable** - Save your workspace as text to store anywhere (notes, files, cloud)
  - **Privacy Aware** - Regular and private windows are handled separately
  - **Pinned Tabs** - Preserves your pinned tab setup
  
  ## How to Use
  
  ### Save your workspace
  1. Click the extension icon
  2. Click **Save All Windows** to capture your current setup
  3. Click **Copy** to copy the data to clipboard
  4. Save the text wherever you like (notes app, text file, etc.)
  
  ### Restore your workspace
  1. Paste the saved text back into the extension
  2. Click **Restore Windows** to recreate all windows and tabs
  
  ### Restore selectively
  You can edit the saved text before restoring:
  - Delete any URLs you don't want to reopen
  - Delete a window marker line to open those tabs in your current window instead of a new one
  - Paste just a list of URLs from anywhere - they'll open as new tabs in your current window
  
  ## Saved Format
  
  ```
  /* Window 1 |left:0|top:23|width:1200|height:800|state:normal| */
  https://google.com [pinned]
  https://github.com/user/project
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions
  
  /* Window 2 |left:100|top:50|width:1000|height:600|state:maximized| */
  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/abc
  https://figma.com/file/design-project
  ```
  
  - Window markers define position, size, and state for each window
  - URLs are listed one per line under each window
  - `[pinned]` marks pinned tabs
  - Window markers are optional - bare URLs open in your current window
  
  ## Use Cases
  
  - **Work Contexts** - Save different window layouts for different projects
  - **Daily Reset** - Start each day with your preferred browser setup
  - **Share Setups** - Send your research tab collection to a colleague
  - **Backup** - Never lose your carefully arranged workspace again
  - **Quick Open** - Paste a list of URLs from any source to open them all at once
  
  ## Privacy
  
  - No data is collected or sent anywhere
  - Everything stays on your device
  - Works offline
