Tabfort

Your tabs never disappear.

Tabfort is a tab and session manager for Chrome. It saves every window, tab and tab group automatically, restores them exactly as they were, and keeps your projects in separate workspaces.

Free forever. No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your data stays in your browser.

Why another tab manager

We read 1,400 reviews of seven popular tab managers. The most common reason for a one-star review was not a missing feature. It was losing tabs: after an update, a crash, or a sync that quietly stopped working.

“Why did all my collections disappear after the update?! I had sever[al] years worth of them!”

“Killed 50+ open tabs and tab groups without possibility to recover.”

“They even promised it would stay free, so this feels pretty scummy.”

Real one-star reviews of other tab managers in the Chrome Web Store.

Tabfort is built around those three complaints: nothing is ever lost, tab groups come back exactly, and the free plan stays free.

What it does

Everything below is included in the free plan, except unlimited workspaces.

Automatic snapshots

Every change to your windows and tabs is saved within seconds, plus a full snapshot every 5 minutes. You never press “save”.

Crash recovery

If Chrome closes unexpectedly, Tabfort notices on the next start and offers to bring everything back.

Tab groups, exactly

Group names, colours, collapsed state, tab order and pinned tabs are restored as they were. Reopening a group never creates a duplicate.

Sleeping tabs

Restore hundreds of tabs without freezing your computer. Tabs load only when you open them.

Workspaces

Keep a set of windows and tabs per client or project. Switch in one click; each workspace updates itself as you work.

Nothing is deleted silently

Deleted items go to a trash for 30 days, and your last 20 actions can be undone.

Search everything

Find any saved tab by title or address, in any language.

Move in, move out

Import from OneTab. Export everything to JSON at any time — your data is never locked in.

Your tabs stay on your computer

Tabfort stores your sessions in your own browser. The addresses and titles of your tabs are never sent to us or to anyone else. There is no Tabfort account. Chrome will warn that the extension can “read your browsing history” — that is the permission any tab manager needs to see your open tabs. Read the privacy policy.

Pricing

Pay once, not every month. The free plan is not a trial and will not be taken away.

Questions

Is the free plan really free forever?

Yes. Saving, restoring, tab groups, trash, import and export are free with no limits on the number of tabs or sessions. The only thing the free plan limits is the number of workspaces (two).

What happens to my data if I stop paying or never pay?

Nothing. Your saved tabs are always visible, openable and exportable. A license only unlocks more workspaces; it never locks your data.

Where is my data stored?

In your browser's local storage on your computer. Tabfort has no servers holding your tabs. Uninstalling the extension removes that local data, so export first if you plan to uninstall.

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome first. Edge and Brave are planned next.

How do I get my license after paying?

The license key is sent to the email you used at checkout. Paste it into Tabfort's settings. One license covers you personally on all your computers.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of purchase, for any reason. Email [email protected]. See the refund policy.

What if Tabfort is ever discontinued?

Licenses are checked inside the extension, without a call to our server, and your data lives on your computer. The last version keeps working and your data stays exportable.
