Tab Manager

A Chrome extension for power users who accumulate tabs. Save, tag, back up, and archive tabs without breaking flow.

Features

Save tabs — Close a tab and save it with optional tags for instant recall.

Tag & filter — Organize saved tabs with freeform tags. Filter by one or more tags to find what you need fast.

Backup — Automatically snapshot all open tabs on a configurable schedule. Restore individual tabs or entire snapshots into a new window, preserving tab groups.

Archive — Automatically close stale, unpinned tabs on the backup cadence and keep them in a recoverable archive. Search by title or URL, restore with one click, or let old entries auto-purge on a configurable retention window.

Cleanup — Right-click the extension icon → Cleanup Tabs to find duplicate tabs (keeps the most recently accessed copy) and stale tabs that haven’t been touched in N days.

Storage usage — Options page shows a live breakdown of storage used by saved tabs, archive, and backups against Chrome’s 10 MB local storage limit.

Raindrop integration — Optionally send saved tabs to Raindrop.io using a token you provide in Options.
