TabStrata
Local-first tab sessions for Chrome — organizations, collections, notes, and live open tabs — without forcing an account or taking over your new tab.
What you get
The Free edition is the current TabStrata product. Pro adds power tools on top — never a wall in front of basic saving.
Notes & quick links
Lightweight notes inside collections, plus quick links and JSON import/export.
Optional new tab
Keep Chrome’s default NTP unless you opt into TabStrata as your new tab.
Launchpad
Google Search field plus pin chips for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and any custom site — always in reach above Open Tabs.
Collection Transfer
Move collections in whole or in part between Chrome profiles or Google accounts with a transfer package — hand off Work tabs without redoing everything.
Account Sync
Sign in with Google in Settings (or Connect account in the top bar) to sync across devices — private to your Google account.
Extra palettes
Ember, Spruce, and Copper appearance packs beyond Free Sea / Indigo / Ink.
Focus Session
Open a collection as your working set and park other tabs — restore anytime.
Vault lock
PIN-protect the entire vault, collections, or individual links — names stay hidden until unlock.
Command Jump
Ctrl/Cmd+K to jump to orgs, collections, open tabs, or Launchpad pins.
Tab Hygiene & Layouts
Advisory cleanup for duplicates and piles, plus save/restore multi-window desk setups.
Same local-first DNA
Offline local copy always works. Sync and transfer are unlocks — not hostages.
Why upgrade to Pro
Free already does the hard part: unlimited local sessions. Pro is for the everyday shortcuts and moving work between machines or accounts.
Launchpad
Your daily sites, always in reach
Google Search plus pin chips for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, YouTube, ChatGPT — or any URL — above Open Tabs. Free Quick Links stay in the sidebar.
