    description
    Tabulous helps you organize browser windows into clear, named workspaces — so you can focus on what matters without tab overload.
    
    Create color-coded workspaces for different tasks, projects, or contexts, and move tabs between them quickly. Open, close, or restore entire workspace windows without losing your place, and keep your browser tidy even when juggling multiple things at once.
    
    New in this version: Crash Vault — automatic recovery for your tabs.
    Tabulous now quietly keeps a rolling history of your recent browser sessions, so if something goes wrong, you can recover your tabs in seconds — even if you never saved them as a workspace.
    
    Tabulous runs quietly in the background and stays out of your way, while protecting your work if something goes wrong.
    
    Key features
    
    • Group browser windows into named workspaces
    • Color-code workspaces for instant visual recognition
    • Quickly open, close, or restore entire workspace windows
    • Send tabs between workspaces with a click
    • Choose what happens after moving tabs (stay put or jump to destination)
    • Optional auto-sleep for inactive background tabs to save memory
    • Smart handling of YouTube-heavy workspaces (tabs are neatly listed instead of all opening at once)
    
    Crash Vault (NEW)
    
    • Automatic recovery snapshots of your recent browser sessions
    • Restore lost tabs and windows even if they were never saved
    • Rolling history of recent activity with one-click recovery
    • Runs locally and quietly in the background
    
    Backup & Recovery
    
    • Manual backup and restore to save or migrate your setup
    • Improved recovery handling for corrupted or incomplete data
    • Safer restore behavior for large tab groups
    
    • All data stored locally — nothing is sent externally
    
    Why Tabulous?
    
    Tabulous is designed to be fast, simple, and unobtrusive — giving you control over your tabs without adding clutter or complexity.
    
    Built for reliability — not AI guesswork.
    
    Privacy
    
    Tabulous does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.
    All workspace data, settings, and Crash Vault snapshots are stored locally using Chrome’s built-in storage APIs.
    
    What’s new in 0.7.8
    Improved restore stability and recovery tools.
    
    This update fixes cases where Tabulous could get stuck during restore, adds safer recovery options in Settings, and improves cleanup of incomplete restore sessions. It also includes storage/recovery reliability improvements to help prevent broken states after interruptions.
    
    Version
    
    0.7.8
    Tabulous helps you turn Chrome into a set of reusable Workspaces, so you can save what you are doing, switch contexts cleanly, and get back to the right tabs without digging through browser chaos.
    
    Whether you are working, researching, studying, shopping, planning, or just trying to manage too many tabs across too many windows, Tabulous gives you a more structured way to keep everything organized.
    
    With Tabulous, you can save groups of tabs as named Workspaces, reopen them later, and keep different parts of your browsing life separate. Instead of leaving dozens of tabs open “just in case,” you can close a Workspace knowing you can bring it back when you need it.
    
    Key features
    
    • Save and reopen named Workspaces
    • Organize tabs by project, task, or context
    • Move tabs between Workspaces
    • Recover recently closed unsaved windows with Recover Recent Tabs
    • Restore previous versions of a Workspace
    • Use the Recovery hub for restore-related tools in one place
    • View local restore history inside the extension
    • Copy local diagnostics if you ever need troubleshooting help
    • Keep everything local by default, with no automatic data sending
    
    New in 0.8
    
    Tabulous now includes stronger workspace integrity and recovery tools.
    
    This update improves how Tabulous protects saved Workspaces, adds per-Workspace restore options, and makes it easier to recover the version you actually want if something gets closed or changed by mistake.
    
    Workspace recovery
    
    Tabulous can now help you restore earlier versions of a specific Workspace, not just your whole browser state. If a Workspace is emptied intentionally, Tabulous keeps it available as an empty shell so you can restore a previous version, open a new tab inside it, or delete it cleanly.
    
    Recovery tools
    
    Tabulous includes a dedicated Recovery hub that brings restore-related tools together in one place. You can:
    • recover recently closed unsaved windows
    • restore previous versions of a Workspace
    • access Crash Vault tools
    • use backup and restore features
    • view recent restore history
    
    Local-first approach
    
    Tabulous stores workspace and recovery data locally on your device so it can reopen and restore your browser state when needed. Restore history and diagnostics stay local unless you explicitly choose to copy and share them yourself. There is no hidden telemetry or automatic sending of your data.
    
    Tabulous is especially useful if you:
    
    • keep lots of tabs open because you do not want to lose them
    • work across several projects at once
    • regularly switch between different types of browsing
    • want a safer way to close windows without losing your place
    • like the idea of a more workspace-based browser setup inside Chrome
    
    If you have ever thought, “I can’t close this window because I might need it later,” Tabulous is built for exactly that problem.
