Save and restore windows.

Image from store Simple Window Saver
Description from store 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. - - Changes - - Version 1.4: * retina icons * display tab count in badge * under the hood changes for manifest 2.0 Version 1.3: * made most recently opened windows appear at the top of the list * fixed click-to-focus * added support pinned tabs * Google Analytics Version 1.2: improvements in reliability Version 1.1: click an open window to focus it Version 1.0: initial release

  • (2023-09-17) Charles Alley: Excellent, I use this everyday, its a huge time saver and great organizer for my workflows. 10 stars!
  • (2023-08-09) Gabriel ********: 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 :)
  • (2023-05-18) Sergey Master: Давно хотел использовать расширение, которое автоматически сохраняет окна при изменениии состава вкладок. Другие расширения для работы с сессиями этого не делают.
  • (2023-04-18) Gabriel ********: I really liked this extension long time, but suddenly (after update?!) ALL saved Windows gone lost. Such things should NOT happen for a good developed extension!!!
  • (2023-04-17) Machu Mahaney: 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.
  • (2022-09-18) Marko Stojanovic: 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.
  • (2022-08-16) David Clavijo: Used it for a years already. Default extension.
  • (2022-08-05) Johnny Storm: exactly what i've been looking for, perfect!!! thank you!!!!!!
  • (2022-01-05) Lisa Kingscott: Brilliant extension! I've been using it all the time for years.
  • (2021-12-17) Davide Perego: Not working in my current Chrome 96
  • (2021-10-26) Ian MacRae: This is a great extension until they update, then it wipes out all your saved tab groups. I had at least 30 and now they are gone which is very frustrating. I only wish they had a search of saved tab groups to make it ease to find them if you have a lot. I will keep using this extension but only for temporary groups, it's to dangerous to loose all saved groups to trust it for more.
  • (2021-08-12) Dmitry Igorevich: Сперва подумал что нашел то самое, но увы - нет. Работаю с разными проектами, в одной сессии до 25-30 необходимый вкладок. И таск менеджер и тайм трекер и гитхаб и либы используемые открыты и дизайны/макеты и баг трекер и playMarket + iStore. В целом довольно много всего под 1 конкретный проект. И все было превосходно, пока плагин не стал: 1) Менять имена сессий (сессия где были вкладки под проект - теперь открывается сессия про звукозапись) 2) Делать сессии пустыми (0 вкладок) Так что приходится искать альтернативу, а жаль. Полгода пользовался - проблем не знал.
  • (2021-07-29) Kevin Gammon: I liked this extension a lot...until they released an updated and it cleared out all of my saved groups
  • (2021-07-27) Jaeho Park: 아주 잘쓰고 있습니다.
  • (2021-05-21) Sernicus Kowalski: Great app :)
  • (2021-03-16) oojin mudgett: Works great on Chrome, but seems to delete all saved sessions on Brave when it is updated. Anyway to prevent this?
  • (2021-02-05) Houcine: This is exactly what I needed. No useless features or buttons that do nothing. Window tabs automatically save when closed.
  • (2020-12-22) Daniel Petersson: The perfect solution for a Tab Ninja! I usually have 30+ tabs at the same time with CMS, CRM, Facebook Ads, Google Ads and so forth. It's a mess. But this helps me keep tabs organized and it speeds up my workflow. Thank you!
  • (2020-12-17) Name No: 업뎃하니까 있던거 다날라감..
  • (2020-12-10) Ed M: This is a fantastic aid! It works. I save lots of Chrome windows with numerous tabs and can then shut any window to save computing power and ram and easily open them all up when I need them. It also helps as a backup when Chrome or the computer shuts down unexpectedly and Chrome doesn't automatically restore all the open windows. Thank you very much!
  • (2020-11-25) Tao Lin: This is a must have. It's basic functionality that should have been included in base Chrome ages ago
  • (2020-10-07) Love it! Enables me to categorise my tabs and save memory/CPU.
  • (2020-09-08) Crann “Crann” Ink: I really enjoy this extension, especially when I have to keep multiple tabs available for work projects. I have had issues, however, such as whenever the extension is updated, it deletes ALL of my saved windows, and I have no way of getting the grouped tabs back. It sort of defeats its purpose if you need to save something just before an update. Otherwise, it's been mostly good, with only a few lost windows this past year (not update-related).
  • (2020-09-02) Jadon Van Wyk: Great extension
  • (2020-09-01) Zishan Hussain: Total time saver.
  • (2020-04-01) eM Player: After updating I lost all sessions! I have to find something else, more serious.
  • (2019-11-18) 레몬워터: - simple is best -
  • (2019-10-01) D. S.: It often gets them mixed up and doesn't save the correct windows....
  • (2019-08-15) Chuck Lauer Vose: So beautifully simple. Thank you!
  • (2019-06-20) Juan Carlos Gutiérrez Rodríguez: F you man, I lost all tabs I had saved
  • (2019-05-20) (株)グローバライン土居: セッションバディと比較してよい点は、登録したタブのグループでさらにタブを増やしたり、減らしたりしたときに自動で更新される。セッションバディは登録したタブしか開けないので、タブを増やした場合は再登録が必要になる。この点について、こちらの拡張は優れている。ザッピングしているテーマでタブを保存する場合は、こちらの方が使いやすい。ただ、拡張性の部分では、今後に期待という感じ
  • (2019-03-06) Regis Sá: i had tried many other related extesions, but this one is the best. It organizes all tabs same positions as they were closed, really helpful, it's simple and easy, low memory consumption. Hope the author could update it, since it has been long time with no updates, though still working as it suppose to. I looked for a way to make a donation, but couldn't find any. Great job. Tks
  • (2019-01-22) Laz from Budapest: Exactly what I was looking for. I tried out half a dozen other tab/session manager addons and for some reason none of them are able to just automatically save my windows as they were when I close them. "Simple Window Saver" seems to be doing just that, and it's working fine so far. The only other plugin I found that was able to do so was "Tabs Outliner" - but that's just overkill for what I want. Do you have a way to donate to the project? I can spare a few bucks for something that simplifies my tab-infested life.
  • (2019-01-11) Kim Ladin: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this extension. My browser tabs and windows multiply like bunnies, and this really helps me keep them organized.
  • (2019-01-10) Sors AI: Did not save instance (url+data). Only url and tab. Too simple!!! not worth it at all. Amature extension
  • (2018-12-04) Robert Lumens: I like it very much. It has allowed me to have items available with one click while not having them open and running and slowing down my computer. Instead of having 37 things open in drop downs, I can retrieve them with a click. I wish there were some simple instructions available for it.
  • (2018-12-03) KoT Tr: すごく便利に使っているが欲を言うならexport / import機能が欲しい 新しいPCにもウィンドウの移行ができたり、何か不具合でchromeの入れ直しをする際にもバックアップできるとすごいいいのですが
  • (2018-11-23) blueskyoveryou: good
  • (2018-11-23) oscar cho: good
  • (2018-11-04) Takuya Iwamoto: very good!!
  • (2018-10-01) Naeem Barrett: A vital extension for any million-tab lover.
  • (2018-09-13) suraj bonagiri: You are a life saver. Thank you for the simple and yet intutive and powerful design.
  • (2018-08-29) Jerome Farnan: this is great for saving a large number of open windows. Especially useful for research on specific topics, the windows can be saved for later review
  • (2018-08-11) Wojciech Spychała: Great app!!! This is what i was looking for! But please add keyboard shortcuts to switch between windows!
  • (2018-07-25) ElFi77: No sirve de nada
  • (2018-07-21) Eduardo Lorandi: Pretty good until now, simple solution for what I was looking for
  • (2018-07-13) Mikhail Naganov: I love minimalist extensions. This one does it job and does not annoy me.
  • (2018-06-23) Анискевич Ирэна: удаляет все сохраненные сессии при обновлении.
  • (2018-06-22) Dan Andrew: Certainly simple, but just what I needed! I wanted to be able to get home, or to the office and select a 'Business' bunch of tabs, or 'Personal' bunch of tabs and this has achieved exactly that. Thanks for the app!
  • (2018-06-07) Žarko Ajdinović: Good idea, but horribly unstable, Ive lost count of how many times it has lost my SAVED sessions...its like, YOU HAD ONE JOB

  • (2021-09-09, v:1.4) Gabriel ********: Search mask on top of window-saver popout would be awesome!

  • (2021-07-27, v:1.4) Jaeho Park: My save group is disappeared

  • (2021-04-26, v:1.4) Ariel: saved tab groups disappeared?
    Hello! I love this extension, but I just updated Chrome (Version 90.0.4430.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)) and for some reason, all of my saved tab groups disappeared. Is there a way to recover them? Alternatively, are there any plans to add a function where the saved tab links can be exported to a text file in the event that they are randomly deleted again?
  • (2021-04-15, v:1.4) Armin Bartsch: Groups in Edge
    Does not save tabs in the Edge when groups are used
  • (2020-12-15, v:1.4) Brandon Suttles: Window name always visible some how.
    Love this extension BTW, Could you make it so that we could see the Window Name at all times? I have to click into the extension to see which browser window I need currently. Would be nice to be able to quickly flip through open browsers and know which one I am searching for.
  • (2020-12-02, v:1.4) Alkaline Substance: Successfully loaded all other windows, but one was corrupted, who do i get it back?
    The window had 88 tabs, all of different pages, but now every single tab on this one window shows this URL: chrome-extension://fpfmklldfnlcblofkhdeoohfppdoejdc/ and says "Your file was not found" . This was a very important window of mine and i really need to get it all back.
  • (2020-10-21, v:1.4) Jacqie Gates: Lost Windows
    When the extension updated yesterday it lost all my saved windows! Please, please, please tell me there is a way to get them back.
  • (2020-10-04, v:1.4) Zishan Hussain: Backup and Sync
    Is there a way to export the window groups or even better just sync them across the chrome account so they are the same on my other machines also?
  • (2020-05-19, v:1.4) Stef Fen: Name Window with Session Name
    Wow - great. Its does what I was looking for. Exactly. Actually theres only one thing I am really missing in terms of usabillity: Since my window sessions are named by themes as "Work 1", "Work 2", "Private" - It would really help, if the title of the window in the status bar, would show that name <3 guess I might not be the first one coming to that point :)
  • (2020-05-07, v:1.4) Vladimír Ondrášek: Lost all tabs
    Yesterday, after the latest update of your extension, all my saved tabs disappeared. Is there any way how to retrieve them? Your app is great btw.
  • (2019-10-06, v:1.4) Michael Sylvester: Lost all of my tabs
    Giving up on this extension and going back to a more reliable one.
  • (2019-07-01, v:1.4) Pablo Román: Saved windows disappeared

  • (2018-12-02, v:1.4) Panos Salteas: Lost saved windows

  • (2018-11-02, v:1.4) Peter Bender: Update Loses Saved Windows
    This extension has been very stable and highly useful. However, the latest update wiped out all of my saved windows.
  • (2018-10-08, v:1.4) Eva Černi: I really wanted to like it
    I've lost an important tab set twice now. I think it could have something to do with with two sets that containing the same word? They seem to merge in one occasionally. Instead of having set 1 and set 2, I open the browser and there is set 2 and set 2. So I close and reopen the browser and there is set 1 and set 2 again, but the content from set 1 is lost and replaced with a copy from set 2. It made me feel very frustrated today when I got to work and had no tabs that I needed again, but I figured I should contact you rather than leave a review.
  • (2018-09-06, v:1.4) FEATURE REQUEST: Could you add shortcuts?
    I love your extension!! Could you add keyboard shortcuts to open each saved window? That would even help me more!
  • (2018-08-11, v:1.4) Wojciech Spychała: Keyboard shortcuts
    Please add keyboard shortcuts to switch between windows!
  • (2018-06-11, v:1.4) Peter Bender: export/import/migrate
    As a professional using my browser all day every day, this app is essential. The ability to migrate the saved windows from one device to another would be really useful. If it also acted as an exportable/importable backup/restore features, even better.
  • (2018-05-12, v:1.4) Lawrence Vandervoort: Carry over the tabs
    As mentioned a few times in the past, it would be great if we carry over the windows from previous devices.
