That depth is useful for users who want a richer management system. Some users want a lighter path: save the current window, save all windows, restore later, keep snapshots, and export a backup file when needed.
DockTabs fits that simpler lane: local-first backup and recovery, no account required for free, and optional Pro sync only when multi-device workflows matter.

Where Session Buddy can feel heavier
