Nest — Tab Manager, Session Saver & Duplicate Tab Cleaner

Tab manager in a side panel: brings back tabs after a restart, saves closed windows, closes duplicate tabs, snoozes, saves sessions.

Too many Chrome tabs? Nest looks after them while you browse. Autopilot brings back tabs that Chrome loses in a restart, saves the windows you close, and can close duplicate tabs for you. Everything it closes can be restored from Nest. Free, no account needed. Nest is a tab manager and tab organizer for people who keep dozens of tabs open for work, research and everything they mean to read later. AUTOPILOT: YOUR TABS, LOOKED AFTER • Restart rescue: if Chrome restarts and some of your tabs do not come back, Nest has already saved them and offers to reopen them in one click • Automatic Sessions: close a window with three or more tabs, or a Chrome tab group, and Nest saves its tabs. Reopen them later, or Keep them as a named Session • Close duplicate tabs automatically (off until you turn it on): extra copies of the same page address are closed, the original stays open, and Undo reopens them • Suspend idle tabs (off until you turn it on): tabs you have not used for 1, 3 or 7 days are unloaded to free memory. They stay in your tab strip and reload when you open them • Tidy away idle tabs (off until you turn it on): tabs you have not used for 14 or 30 days are closed and kept in Nest under Tidied away for 30 days. The first time, Nest shows which tabs it would tidy and closes nothing until you say so; Undo reopens them • Autopilot never closes or suspends a pinned tab, a tab playing audio, the tab you are on, a tab you used in the last 30 minutes or a site you exclude. It closes a tab in a Chrome tab group only if you let Tidy away include groups, and never a group's last tab • Quiet by design: no more than three notifications a week, with a switch to turn them off, and an optional weekly summary that shows counts only. What Autopilot saves stays on your device CLOSE DUPLICATE TABS AND FREE UP MEMORY Open Organize > Tidy: • Close duplicate tabs: extra copies of the same page are closed, pinned tabs are always kept • Suspend inactive tabs to free memory. They stay in your tab strip and reload when you return; active, pinned and audio-playing tabs are skipped • A local backup snapshot is saved automatically before a manual duplicate cleanup ORGANIZE TABS INTO CATEGORIES • Nest sorts your open tabs into categories you create, such as Work, Research or Watch later • Drag a tab, or use Move to…, to put it in another category, or add domain rules so a site always lands in the right place • Turn any category into a Chrome tab group with "Group in browser" • Search all your open tabs from one search bar RESTORE CLOSED TABS • Nest keeps a searchable history of the tabs you close, grouped by when you closed them • Reopen any closed tab with one click, and choose how long the history is kept • The Vault keeps local snapshots of your tabs, categories, sessions and notes before big changes, so you can roll back • Export your tabs as an HTML or JSON file, free SAVE AND RESTORE TAB SESSIONS • Save all open tabs, or just one Chrome tab group, as a named session • Reopen the whole set later: ideal for projects, clients and research topics • 3 saved sessions on the free plan, unlimited with Pro SNOOZE TABS UNTIL YOU NEED THEM • Close a tab now and have it reopen tonight, tomorrow, next Monday or at any time you choose • Snooze a whole category at once NOTES FOR YOUR TABS • Write rich-text notes linked to the page they belong to, and search them later WORKS THE WAY YOU BROWSE • The side panel stays open as you switch tabs, including on Chrome's own pages • Prefer an on-page overlay or a full-page view?
