Why DockTabs is different

Why DockTabs is different

Local-first tab session backup for Chrome: no-account start, backup-first workflow, and optional cloud sync later.

Local-first workflow

Keep the first recovery layer on this browser with local saves, snapshots, and export.

No account required

Save and restore sessions before deciding whether sync is worth it.

Tab session backup

DockTabs is built for save and restore, not just tab cleanup or project spaces.
