A lightweight Chrome extension that turns the tabs in your current window into a small, persistent reading list. It is built for people who regularly collect research, documentation, or links to revisit without leaving dozens of tabs open.
- Saves every tab in the current window to local browser storage.
- Avoids duplicates by URL, so saving the same window twice is safe.
- Shows saved tabs as a compact, readable list with the site domain.
- Lets you select all or only a few tabs, then open or delete them in bulk.
- Organizes tabs into named sessions, with search, tag filters, and sorting.
- Imports and exports your library as a JSON backup, and lets you undo the last deletion.
- Keeps saved tabs after Chrome is restarted.
- Supports manual drag-and-drop ordering for tabs and sessions.
- Lets you pin tabs, attach notes, flag duplicate URLs across sessions, and check selected links on demand.
- Can auto-save matching domains into a session and optionally mirror your library with Chrome Sync.
- Keeps lightweight history snapshots that can restore the most recent library state.
