## Description

Simple TabSave keeps your tabs so you can put them back.

Save the tabs of the window you are in as a named snapshot, or save every window
of the browser in one go. Turn the timer on and TabSave does it for you, keeping
a month of history without filling your disk.

Everything you save is searchable. Find a snapshot by name, or a tab by its
title or link, with every match highlighted. Narrow a list to the days you mean,
star what is worth keeping, and show only those. Each row shows the favicons
behind it, so you recognise a session before you open it.

Your tabs come back the way you left them: a tab remembers its container and
whether it was pinned, and a restore puts both back.

Export everything to a file and import it back on another machine, choosing what
to bring in.

No account. No server. No telemetry. Your snapshots never leave your browser.
