[UPDATE] TabLinker - A Mac-first tab & browser session manager for Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, Edge & more (iPhone/iPad too). Now with Auto-Backup!
Hey everyone, I made **TabLinker**. It's a browser session manager for Mac (with iPhone/iPad companion apps).
**Problem**: I run several browsers side by side, Safari for personal, Chrome for work, Arc for research, and I never close tabs because I don't want to lose something, especially the exact window layout I had going. Eventually each browser is carrying 40+ tabs and my Mac is running hot from all that idle memory. So I made TabLinker: pull every tab from whichever browsers are open into one place, save it as a session, and close everything without losing that layout.
**What it does:**
\- Auto-Backup quietly backs up your open browser windows in the background so you can restore closed windows in one click, even the next day \- Imports every open tab across every window from Safari, Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, Vivaldi, Opera, Opera GX, Dia, Yandex, Wavebox, or Helium in one click, without needing a browser extension for most of them \- Restores a full window, every window at once, or a single tab, and groups a big multi-window import into a "By Window" view so it doesn't turn into one long list \- Suspends tabs you're not using to actually free up memory, while the session stays ready to restore instantly \- Saves whatever tab you're currently on with a single keyboard shortcut (⌃⌥⌘T) or triggers an instant backup (⌃⌥⌘B), and can run entirely from the menu bar with the Dock icon hidden \- Safari extension for quick saves and automatic session saving \- Siri and Shortcuts support: save links, capture your current session, create folders, or open a saved folder hands-free or on a schedule, including an action that saves your session and closes every tab for you \- iCloud sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, no account required
**Comparison**: Compared with Session Buddy (a Chrome-only extension) and Tabs Saver for Safari (which costs $17.99/year or $34.99 for lifetime access and only works on Safari), TabLinker captures sessions across all your installed browsers (Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge, etc.) for a flat $17.99 one-time payment. It preserves full multi-window structures, includes native iPhone/iPad sync via iCloud, and has zero subscriptions.
**Pricing:**
TabLinker is available for a one-time purchase of **$17.99** with Universal Purchase. Buy it once on Mac and get the full premium version on iPhone and iPad too.
**Tech, Privacy & Security:**
Distributed exclusively via the official Mac App Store, sandbox-verified, and digitally signed by Apple. Everything runs on-device and through your own iCloud. No account, no ads, no analytics, and no external server that sees your tabs.

**Recent updates**: Following your feedback on my previous post here, I built Auto-Backup, which was the most requested feature. It now automatically backs up open browser windows every 15, 30, or 60 minutes, when switching apps, or before sleep. I also added a dedicated Backups tab to restore windows or copy links, an instant-backup keyboard shortcut, automatic skipping of Incognito windows, Wavebox browser support, automatic session saving through the Safari extension, and faster drag-to-select and batch actions on iPhone/iPad. Thanks to everyone here who suggested these features!
