Simple Window Saver Extension

Simple Window Saver makes it super easy to save and restore windows. Keep one window for work tabs, one for Gmail and Facebook, and one for your vacation planning or the research on that new TV you want to buy.

As the title reveals, simplicity is the name of the game. Unlike other session managers, Simple Window Saver remembers when you've saved a window and keeps track of changes. It's not full of features you don't need – it does what you want and it does it well.

Go ahead, give it a try!

If you have feedback or suggestions, do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. And if you like this extension, remember to give it a good rating!

- - Data collection - -
Simple Window Saver uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data, such as how many saved windows users have and how often a new window is saved. This helps me improve the extension.

I DO NOT track the urls or titles of the windows/tabs you save, or the names of the saved windows. If you have any concerns about this, you are welcome to inspect the source code (github link below, or use Chrome's web inspector).

- - Contributors - -
Please join me in thanking Timo Reimann for his contributions to this project. Timo has submitted several patches that improve the reliability and performance of the extension.

Charles Alley (ID: 0000007c6009fc8c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 Excellent, I use this everyday, its a huge time saver and great organizer for my workflows. 10 stars!

Gabriel ******** (ID: 000000592eb5d90c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/09/2023 I love this tool to organize my windows or specific tasks (like research to specific topics) and being able to close and restore it any time. There's just one annoying thing: Why is there no quick-search to search through saved windows?! This would help a lot for those using this tool excessively :)

Sergey Master (ID: 0000008bc26dcb1a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/18/2023 Давно хотел использовать расширение, которое автоматически сохраняет окна при изменениии состава вкладок. Другие расширения для работы с сессиями этого не делают.

Machu Mahaney (ID: 000000642d1be5bb) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/17/2023 It's pretty useful if you don't turn off your computer, but if you do you not only lose the windows it saved but they don't show up in your search history so you can't retrieve it later, I had dozens of recipes and job listings open and now they're all gone.

Marko Stojanovic (ID: 000000827894d789) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/18/2022 Doesn't work. Using it on Brave - it says my session of 24 tabs is saved, but when I try to open the session, my current window gets closed and no new windows open.
