Session manager for Chrome
Save your open tabs as a session and restore the whole window later, here or on another machine. Snapshots run every hour on their own, and closing a window writes one last snapshot, so after a crash or a stray close your work is one command away.

Launch checklistHow sessions work
Sessions you save on purpose, snapshots that happen on their own. Two layers between you and a lost window.
One command saves the whole window
Open the launcher, type “save”, and your open tabs are stored as a named session, in order. Save every window at once, just the one you are in, or only the tabs you tick. When you need them back, restore the session into a new window or the one you are in.
Bookmark all tabs leaves you a folder of links. A session keeps the whole window, tab order and pinned tabs included, and syncs it to your account. Save tabs for later, close the window to free the memory, and open it again next week or on another computer.
Two weeks of snapshots, hour by hour
Every hour by default, kept for 14 days, up to 500 snapshots. Open Window in the Session Manager brings back any single window from them.
Inside the Session Manager
Run Manage Sessions from the launcher. It holds your open windows, every saved session and two weeks of snapshots.
Put tabs to sleep
Sleep one tab or a whole window. The memory comes back, the tabs stay put.
Find a tab you saved weeks ago
Search every session and snapshot at once. Each tab shows where it is from.
Open only the tabs you need
Tick tabs on a saved session or snapshot and open just those.
Sleep plays along with Chrome's own Memory Saver, and needs no extra permissions. How the tab suspender works.
One launcher, sessions included
Everything lives behind one shortcut. It opens the launcher on any page, and your sessions are a keystroke away.
Most session managers are a separate app you have to visit. UtilEngine is a launcher for your browser, so saving and restoring sessions works like everything else. Press your shortcut, type a few letters, hit Enter, and a saved session is back. The same launcher runs 60+ commands, from a calculator to JSON tools to AI chat.
Page content and browsing history never reach our servers. You sign in once with Google or your purchase email, and we store your account details. Session contents sync through your account so your devices stay in step, and they are never shared with anyone.

Session questions
How do I save a Chrome session?
Open the launcher with your shortcut, type save, and choose Save Session. Press Enter to keep every open tab and give the session a name. Enter saves all your windows in order, and Shift+Enter saves just the one you are in. It works the same in Chrome, Brave, and Edge.
How do I restore a Chrome session?
Open the launcher, type sessions, pick the one you want, and press Enter to open it in a new window, with the same tab in front as when you saved it. Shift+Enter opens it in the window you are in. Sessions sync with your account, so you can restore on another computer as well.
Are my tabs saved when I close Chrome?
Closing a window writes one last snapshot, and snapshots also run every hour while you browse. The tabs from a window you closed, or from a browser that crashed, wait in Manage Snapshots for 14 days. Saving a session is still the way to keep something for good.
How is this different from bookmarking all tabs?
Bookmark all tabs gives you a folder of links with no window, no order, and no pinned state. A session restores the window the way it was. Bookmarks are still the better choice for a single page you want to keep for years.
What happens if my browser crashes?
UtilEngine snapshots all your open windows on a schedule, every hour by default. After a crash, open the launcher and restore the latest snapshot.
How often do snapshots run?
Every hour by default. Change the interval in Settings and it follows you to your other browsers.
How long are snapshots kept?
14 days, up to 500 snapshots. Sessions you save yourself are kept until you delete them, and your account holds up to 500.
Do my sessions sync across computers?
Yes. Sessions follow your UtilEngine account. Save a window at work, restore it at home, in any Chromium browser.
Can I search for a tab without knowing which session it is in?
Yes. The Session Manager searches every tab across all saved sessions and snapshots at once, and opens the right board with the tab highlighted.
How big can a session be?
A session holds up to 25 windows, 250 tabs each.
What if a tab can't be restored?
The rest of the session still opens. A tab your browser refuses to open, or one with a very long address, is skipped, and UtilEngine tells you how many it left out.
Can I save only some of my tabs?
Yes. Save Session lists every open tab first. Press Enter to keep them all. To pick, press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows) on the first tab you want, Enter on the rest from any window, then Cmd+Enter again. Name the session and only those are saved.
Can UtilEngine put tabs to sleep?
Yes. Every live window in the Session Manager has a sleep action, per tab or for the whole window. A sleeping tab frees its memory but stays in place, and clicking it wakes it. Tabs suspended by Chrome's Memory Saver show as asleep too.
Do sleeping tabs lose anything?
The page reloads when it wakes, so unsaved form input may be lost. The tab itself, its address, and its spot in the window all stay. The active tab of a window never sleeps.
Does it save incognito windows?
Only if you want it to. Incognito windows stay out of snapshots and saved sessions until you switch on Save incognito windows in Settings. Your browser also has to allow UtilEngine in incognito.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome, Brave, Edge, and other Chromium browsers. Firefox support is on the roadmap.
