Tabwell side panel with saved tab-group snapshots

What Tabwell is designed to preserve

A clear look at current product behavior, without relying on competitor ratings or performance claims.

Tab-group structure

Snapshots record group names, colors, and collapsed state so Tabwell can rebuild that structure on restore.

Local snapshot storage

Saved window and tab data is stored in IndexedDB on your device. Using the extension does not require an account.

Portable history

Export snapshots as JSON. Pro also includes importers for supported OneTab and Session Buddy exports.

Snapshot in one click

Save the current window — every tab, every group, with names and colors — to local storage. No login, no account.

Search saved history with Pro

Search titles and URLs across locally stored snapshots. Find that PR review from three weeks ago.

Restore with groups

Re-open a snapshot and Tabwell rebuilds the tab groups too — same names, same colors, collapsed where you left them.
