TabBunny: save today’s tabs and resume tomorrow

Finishing a research session with too many tabs open? I built TabBunny so one click saves the web links in your current window with an automatic date label.

Resume them later in a new window, or organize selected tabs into named projects and export a backup. Your current tabs stay open. Collections are stored locally, with no account or analytics. Saved links do not preserve form edits or login state.

Install: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gmggibbkhagclmcdlcgimijalmedhmhj

I am the developer. Feedback on your experience and confusing steps is welcome.

How it works

A saved session is a collection of links, not a copy of browser state. Each collection keeps names, URLs, titles, pinned flags and timestamps on the device.

This boundary is intentional: it can reopen pages, but cannot recover unsaved forms, cookies, scroll positions or login state. Quick saves receive a date label. Repeated identical quick saves refresh the latest snapshot. Optional named projects support selected tabs and backups.

HTTP and HTTPS links are supported; internal pages, local files and credential-bearing URLs are skipped. The extension uses Chrome's tabs and storage APIs.

There is no runtime dependency or build step: the public repository can be loaded unpacked from its extension directory. This is a useful starting point for studying a small local tab-management workflow.

Try the workflow

The walkthrough uses fictional data. FocusPet's completion demonstration is accelerated; the LeetHub demonstration simulates upload responses and does not perform a live GitHub write.
