Hi Product Hunt! I built Tab Lifeboat because browsers lose tabs in boring ways: a crash, a bad update, a profile that gets wiped or a reinstall. The awkward part is that most session managers keep their saved sessions inside the same browser profile, so they go down with it. Tab Lifeboat is a backup, not a tab organizer: - within a minute of every change it snapshots all windows, tab groups and tabs - every hour it writes a backup file to your Downloads folder, outside the profile - restore everything, one window, one group (name and color included) or a single tab - after a crash, a half-restored session never replaces your last good snapshot Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. No account, no servers of ours, no analytics. The free version keeps the last 7 days. Pro is a one-time purchase (no subscription): your whole history, search across it, and end-to-end encrypted backups to your own Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or NAS / Nextcloud (WebDAV), with restore on any computer. I'd love to hear how you lost tabs last time, and what would make you trust a backup tool.

Launching Tab Lifeboat on Oct 20: tab backups that survive the browser

Hi everyone, I'm launching Tab Lifeboat here on Tuesday, October 20.

It's a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi. Within a minute of every change it backs up every window, tab group and tab, and every hour it writes a backup file outside the browser profile. When a crash, a bad update or a reinstall takes your tabs, you pick the moment before and restore everything, one window, one group or one tab. No account, no servers of mine.
