What you’re buying

Product: Tabhold — a Google Chrome desktop extension (Manifest V3) that saves named tab workspaces and restores them in batches.

Free core (no card): Install early-access build (Load unpacked) or later Chrome Web Store listing; create named workspaces; Hold open tabs; Restore in batches. Data stays in your browser on that computer.

Pro membership ($29 USD / month after trial): Supports ongoing development; early access to paid sync/history when released; membership billing via Stripe. During trial you are not charged until the trial ends unless you cancel.

Delivery: Digital only. Access instructions and download/install links are emailed after signup / shown on the thank-you page. No physical shipping.

Not included today: Guaranteed cloud sync (shipping later), mobile browsers, or door-to-door support.

How it works

1. Name a workspace

Label the window you’re in — “Taxes”, “Job hunt”, “Client A”.

2. Hold

Snapshot that working set when it’s good, not only after a crash.

3. Restore in batches

Bring tabs back in waves so Chrome stays usable.

Why people want this

Chrome’s built-in restore often fails after crashes, hibernate, or updates. OneTab-style tools can wipe saved lists or freeze when reopening huge piles. Tabhold is for intentional named sessions — seatbelt, not ambulance paperwork.
