Sessions that make sense
Save a whole window or choose specific tabs. Keep them open, or close eligible tabs after they are safely saved. Restore the session when you need it.
A calmer way to browse
Keep your tabs.
Find your focus.
Save the pages you need, find them again in seconds, and keep your browser ready for what comes next.
For Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. AI and account sync are optional.

Built for real browsing
Everything has a place.
Keep the pages you want without keeping every tab open.
One search for your library
Search open tabs, sessions, Pocket, local history and, with your permission, browser bookmarks. You can also start from the address bar with sts.
A Pocket for later
Save a page or link without naming a new session. Pocket stays at the top of Sessions, ready to open or move into a project.
Room to change your mind
Undo supported deletions, reopen recent local window recovery points, and export a backup of your sessions before making bigger changes.

Clear choices
Your browsing stays yours.
Use the core features locally. Turn on other services only when they help you.
Local library
Search and organize local sessions, history and Quick Access. The extension accesses browser bookmarks only after you grant permission.
Optional account sync
Sync Sessions and Pocket with a Smart Tab Saver account. Browser history, bookmarks and local recovery points are not part of that upload.
Optional AI
Add your own provider key if you want AI features. Relevant titles, URLs and your questions may be sent to the provider you choose.
Good to know
A few quick answers.
More guidance is available inside the extension's Help page.
Do I have to close tabs to save them?
No. You can save a session and leave its tabs open, or choose Save & close. You can also select only some tabs from the current window.
Do I need an account or an AI key?
No. Sessions, Pocket, local search and tab management work without an account or AI. Account sync and AI are separate options.
Are my bookmarks uploaded?
No. Smart Tab Saver uses browser bookmarks locally when you enable access. They are separate from sessions synced with a Smart Tab Saver account.
What does a session backup contain?
The all-sessions backup contains saved sessions and their order. It does not contain browser bookmarks, local history, account credentials or AI keys.
Can I recover something I deleted?
In the dashboard, Undo and Recovery can restore deleted Sessions, Pocket entries and Smart Tab Saver History. Recovery also keeps recent local snapshots of your open windows. Browser bookmarks deleted from Smart Tab Saver are removed from Chrome and are not kept in this trash.
How do I change the dashboard keyboard shortcut?
The Sessions page shows the shortcut currently assigned by your browser and links to Chrome's extension shortcut settings. The suggested key is Ctrl+Shift+Y (Command+Shift+Y on Mac); you can assign another key there if it is unavailable or conflicts with another shortcut.
Will I receive product emails?
Only if you have an activated account and choose to receive updates in Account and cloud settings. You can stop them there or through the link in an update email. Your account and sync will still work.
Can my feedback appear on your website?
Only if you separately choose to suggest a written comment for publication and provide a public name or alias. We review every proposed comment before it appears; your email is never published, and you can withdraw permission later. You can always send private feedback instead.
