One click turns a window of tabs into a named session.

Save. Snapshot. Restore.

Three jobs, done quietly in the background, so a crash or a bad update never costs you your work.

Save

Turn a window of tabs into a named session in one click. Tab groups, pinned tabs and order come with it.

Snapshot

Every open window is captured every 5 minutes and whenever it closes. You never have to remember.

Restore

Bring back a session, a single tab or yesterday’s version. Restoring never overwrites anything.

Get Every Tab Back, Right Where You Left It

BelayTab treats your tabs as work worth protecting, not as a cache.

A Recovery screen that’s already waiting

After a crash, open BelayTab and pick up the latest snapshot, a window you closed an hour ago, or Chrome’s own recently closed list. One click restores all of it.

  • Snapshots every 5 minutes and on window close
  • Closed windows kept in Recovery
  • Deleted sessions kept in trash for 30 days

Sync plan. 90 days of cloud history, restorable from any browser.

Version history for every session

Each session keeps its last 20 versions. Undo a bad merge, bring back tabs you removed, or restore yesterday’s state. Restoring adds a new version instead of overwriting.

Tab groups come back exactly as they were

Group names, colours and order are saved and recreated on restore, in Chrome, Edge, Brave and the other Chromium browsers, and in Firefox.

Move in from OneTab or Session Buddy in a minute

Pick the export file or paste it. BelayTab keeps your titles and order and flags duplicates instead of copying them twice. Your old extension doesn’t even need to be working.

Your data, in formats you can open anywhere

Export to JSON, CSV, Plain URL list, HTML bookmarks. Turn on auto-export and a fresh copy lands in your Downloads folder on a schedule you choose.

The same sessions on every computer Sync

With Sync, your sessions follow you to every browser you sign in to, with 90 days of cloud history and a web app for opening them anywhere. $4 per month, or $36 a year.

Works in Every Browser You Use

One extension, the same sessions. Tab groups are kept everywhere except Safari, which doesn’t let extensions read them.

Private by Design

BelayTab asks for the fewest permissions a tab manager can have, and says why for each one.

No host permissions

It never reads or changes the pages you visit. No content scripts, no remote code.

Nothing leaves when signed out

Sessions live in your browser on your computer. Signed out, BelayTab sends nothing anywhere.

No analytics on your URLs

With Sync on, tab titles and URLs are stored only to sync them. Never sold, never used for ads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BelayTab?

BelayTab is a free browser extension that saves your open tabs as named sessions and restores them later. It snapshots every open window automatically, keeps version history for each session, and can sync sessions across devices on the paid plan.

Is BelayTab free?

Yes. Saving, restoring, automatic snapshots, version history, import and export are free, with no limit on sessions or tabs. Only Sync is paid: $4 a month or $36 a year.

Which browsers does BelayTab work in?

Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc, Firefox, and Safari on Mac. Tab groups are saved and restored in Chromium browsers and recent Firefox; Safari doesn’t let extensions read tab groups, so the Safari version saves the tabs without their groups.

Will I lose my tabs if my browser crashes or updates?

No. BelayTab snapshots every open window every 5 minutes and whenever a window closes, and it backs up its own database before every update. After a crash you restore the latest snapshot from the Recovery screen.

Can I move my tabs from OneTab or Session Buddy?

Yes. BelayTab imports exports from OneTab, Session Buddy, Tab Session Manager and Tablerone, and plain lists of URLs. Duplicate imports are detected, not multiplied.

What data does BelayTab collect?

None, unless you turn on Sync. Your sessions stay in your browser on your computer. BelayTab has no host permissions, runs no code on the pages you visit, and sends no analytics about URLs. With Sync on, tab titles and URLs are stored on our servers only to sync them; they are never sold or used for advertising.

What happens to my tabs if I cancel Sync?

They stay on your computer, readable and exportable. Nothing is ever locked. Your cloud copy is kept for 90 days after the subscription ends, then deleted.

How is BelayTab different from OneTab?

BelayTab saves your tabs automatically and keeps history; OneTab saves a list when you click it. BelayTab adds snapshots, version history, tab group support, rolling export files and optional sync. OneTab is still the simpler choice if a one-click list is all you want.

Does BelayTab slow down my browser?

No. It runs no scripts on the pages you visit. Its work happens in the background on a timer, and long lists are virtualised so large libraries stay fast.

Close the Tabs. Keep the Work.

Free, private and automatic. Install in a few seconds.
