SessionVault — Save & Restore Browser Tab Sessions

About

<p>SessionVault keeps your browser tabs safe. Save every open tab across all windows with one click — then restore them exactly as you left them, windows and all. Whether you're a researcher juggling 50+ tabs, a developer deep in documentation, or anyone who's ever lost work when their browser crashed — SessionVault makes sure you never lose your context.</p>

<b>Key Features</b>

<ul>
<li><b>One-click save</b> — Save all open tabs across every window instantly. Or press <code>Ctrl+Shift+S</code> from anywhere without opening the popup.</li>
<li><b>Window-preserving restore</b> — Restore tabs to their original windows, a single new window, or your current window. You choose.</li>
<li><b>Handles heavy workloads</b> — Engineered for 250+ tabs with a smart batcher that avoids Chrome throttling. No more "only some tabs restored" problems.</li>
<li><b>Export as bookmarks</b> — Export any session as a native Chrome bookmarks folder, or download as an HTML file for backup.</li>
<li><b>Dark mode</b> — Automatically adapts to your system theme. Looks great in light and dark.</li>
<li><b>Inline rename</b> — Click a session name to rename it. Organize your sessions your way.</li>
</ul>

<b>Why SessionVault?</b>

<ul>
<li><b>Privacy-first</b> — All session data is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. No servers, no accounts, no tracking. We never see your tabs.</li>
<li><b>Built on Manifest V3</b> — Native V3 support from the ground up. No legacy code, no deprecated APIs.</li>
<li><b>Transparent permissions</b> — SessionVault asks for three permissions and nothing else:</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li><b>Read your browsing history</b> — Needed to see your open tabs so you can save them. SessionVault only reads tab URLs when you click Save. It never reads or stores your actual browsing history.</li>
<li><b>Read and change your bookmarks</b> — Needed to export sessions as bookmark folders. Only used when you choose to export.</li>
<li><b>Storage</b> — Saves your session data locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.</li>
</ul>

<b>Quick Start</b>

<ol>
<li>Click the SessionVault icon in your toolbar</li>
<li>Click <b>Save Session</b> (or press Ctrl+Shift+S)</li>
<li>Your tabs are saved — restore them anytime from the popup</li>
</ol>

SessionVault is free. Auto-save and cloud sync coming in a future update.
