Every Tabsafe release, newest first. Feed · Suggest a feature
- Improved The 7-day Pro trial starts only when you press Start 7-day trial in the plan view. Saving, sending and importing no longer start it, and a trial you have not started is Free.
- New The Upgrade view lists the ways to pay: card or PayPal, and Visa or Mastercard in Pakistan and Bangladesh, where PayPal is not available.
- Improved Errors show in place, next to the control that caused them, and short notices float over the page without moving it.
- Improved Panels, lists and messages open and close with short motion. With reduced motion turned on in your system, they change at once.
- Fixed The founding code is copied only when you pick 12 months or lifetime, the passes it applies to.
- Fixed Check library no longer fails for a library that holds a local file tab.
- Improved Save and close checks that the pages are in the list before it closes them.
- Improved A backup made from the restore card holds the whole library on Free too.
- Fixed A very long line of brackets no longer freezes a Markdown import.
- Improved A storage change that keeps failing writes at most three copy files.
- Improved A founding price code shows on the plan page and a renewal code beside Buy again when its build sets them.
- New The library opens in its own tab. A rail on the left (Sessions, Collections, Timeline, Closed, Backups, Import), a list in the middle and the open session, collection or snapshot on the right with its tabs, each row with its icon, title, site and tab group colour. Long lists draw only the rows in view.
- New Search covers collections, sessions, snapshots and closed tabs, and says where each page was found. Tick pages for a bar with Open, Move, Remove and Export, and drag pages from one collection to another.
- New Keys in the library: j and k or the arrows move, h and l move between the panes, / searches, Enter opens, x selects, Esc clears.
- Improved The side panel is the same library, one pane at a time.
- Improved The popup is a launcher: Save and close, Save all, Restore last, Search, Open library. The tabs go to the list named in the field, or the Inbox. Save and close has Undo.

- Improved Choosing Every day for backups, or opening a snapshot older than 14 days in the Timeline opens the plan at that feature.
- Improved Import, Check library and the backup schedule are in the library too.
- New Collections. Send this tab, the selected tabs or all tabs in the window to a list from the page menu, the tab menu or a shortcut (Alt+Shift+S sends this tab and closes it), with or without closing them. A page already in the list is not saved twice. Opening a long list loads one page; the rest stay unloaded until chosen.
- New Import reads Toby (JSON and bookmarks page), Markdown links and a plain list of addresses, besides OneTab, Session Buddy (versions 3 and 4) and Tab Session Manager. The format is detected. Importing a file again adds nothing; the result gives sessions and tabs before and after, with Undo.
- New Check library reads the library back from a file made in memory and reports tabs read back. Pro runs the test every week.
- New The safety line states the last backup and the last passed test, and says so when nothing is saved yet.
- New A copy of the library is written to a file before the storage layout changes, and a failed change puts everything back.
- Improved Free keeps unlimited sessions, collections, notes, update pins, tape history, Compare, search tools, full and encrypted export, folder backup and the weekly report. Free keeps 14 days of automatic snapshots, Pro 365. Pro adds daily backups and the weekly test.
- Improved Backup files carry collections.
- New Pro comes as a 6-month, 12-month or lifetime pass. The monthly pass is no longer sold; an existing one keeps working.
- New Pro ends in N days, with Buy again, shows 7 days before a pass ends and once after it. It can be dismissed.
- Fixed Close duplicates and the clutter report leave private tabs alone.
- Fixed A second backup file on the same day in Firefox is rotated like the others.
- Improved History older than 30 days is kept as one snapshot per day. The panel reloads once for a burst of changes, and search waits for a pause in typing.
- Improved Closing a tab no longer rereads every snapshot. Large restores unload the tabs that are not active or pinned. Backup files reach the offscreen page one part at a time.
- Fixed A tab that Chrome swaps for a prerendered one stays tracked.
- Improved Usage counts and the in-app suggestion form are gone. Email us instead.

- New Rehearse restore in a saved session's menu and on a backup file preview opens the session in new windows, then reads them back and reports matched, missing and refused tabs with counts, plus windows, groups and pins. Close rehearsal windows closes only the ones it opened.
- Improved A rehearsal cut short by a stop or a browser restart keeps its windows and offers Check what opened, Close rehearsal windows and Done.
- New A backup file with several sessions lets you pick which one to rehearse. A file you rehearsed shows Rehearsed on with the date.

- New Compare groups the difference by window and tab group, saves the picked tabs as a session, and moves with j, k, Space and Enter. Opening picked tabs keeps their groups.
- New Backup folder lists every file, not only the newest ten. Check all files reads each one back against its digest, names a corrupt file and offers Remove it. Chrome and Edge.
- New Backup folder can remove files older than a set number of days. The newest file always stays.
- New Open now shows each tab group with Save this group as a session and, when a session carries the group's name, Update that session from the open group, with Undo.
- Improved Open now moves with j and k.
- New Encrypted JSON in Export saves the whole history under a passphrase you type twice. Lost passphrase = lost file. Opening an encrypted file asks for the passphrase and is free. Scheduled and folder backups stay plain.
- New Pick up newest in Backup folder adds the sessions and closed tabs this browser lacks from the newest file in the folder, such as a cloud-synced one another browser writes to, and says what it added. Running it again adds nothing. Chrome and Edge.
- New A saved tab can carry one short note. Edit it in the session, clear it with Undo, find the tab by its note in search. Notes are kept in backups.

- Fixed Updating a session from an open group keeps the notes on its tabs and the session's other windows.
- Improved Scheduled files to keep works on Free, so weekly backup files can rotate out.
- Fixed Backup folder trimming ranks a later same-day file as newer than the day's first file, so the newest backup is never the one removed.
- Fixed Two rehearsals finishing together keep both Rehearsed on dates.
- Fixed Restore brings you back to the tab you were on.
- Fixed After a crash the popup and panel show only the restore card, without a Safe line for the empty new window.
- Fixed Save and close from the toolbar closes the tabs again, with pinned tabs included.
- Fixed Closing the popup during a restore no longer leaves it half done. The restore continues in the background and picks up again after a restart.
- Fixed Restore 82 tabs no longer opens a second copy of tabs that are already open.
- Fixed Backup files keep the Before restart and Before browser update sessions, even when a later snapshot exists the same day.
- Improved A session from a backup file keeps its Before restart label.
- Improved The restore card shows what is missing, such as 5 open and 78 to open, and stays while a restore is unfinished.
- New Progress, Stop, Resume and Retry on the restore card. Stopping keeps the session and the tabs already opened.
- New After a restore the card shows the tabs read back from the browser, with Undo, Close extras and a copy of the pages the browser would not open.
- Improved Pinned tabs the browser restored move into the rebuilt window, so each window comes back as it was.
- Fixed Pinned tabs keep their pin after the move, and the restore check counts a lost pin.

- Improved Restore on the Saved and Snapshots lists opens a session the same way as the card.

- Improved Removing old backup files keeps the newest file that holds a session you have not restored.
