Session Rescue
Local-first Chrome extension for saving browser session snapshots, restoring tabs, and exporting/importing portable backups.
Overview
Session Rescue is a published Chrome Web Store extension for people who want a simple local backup of browser sessions. It captures normal windows and restorable tabs, supports manual and user-enabled automatic snapshots, restores sessions into a new window or the current context, and exports/imports JSON backups without a backend, account, analytics, ads, or remote code.
What It Covers
- Captures local session snapshots with tabs, window grouping, titles, URLs, pinned state, and timestamps
- Restores saved sessions into a focused new window or the current browser context
- Exports and imports portable JSON backups so the archive is not trapped in the extension
- Ships with CWS readiness checks, real-browser E2E coverage, and sanitized store screenshots
