Tabs worth keeping

Close the tabs. Keep the reason.

A bookmark keeps a link. PageStow also keeps your note, project, tags, reminder, and task status. Save a page you want to read or a whole research window, then search your saves when you need them. Restoring a window reopens its links; it does not recover unsaved text or a page's previous state.

Next free update

Version 0.1.4 is in preparation. It has not been submitted to or approved by the Chrome Web Store; the current published version is 0.1.1.

  • Pick up a project with its saved pages, notes, and unfinished tasks together.
  • Undo your latest deletion or import within 24 hours. Preview a OneTab .txt file before importing it.
  • Find related saves with clearer reasons, export readable project files, and get occasional backup reminders you can turn off.

Every addition is free. No account needed.

See the update's backup, import, and undo limits.

Remember why you saved it.

Add a short note while a page is fresh in your mind. A project or tag helps you find it later, and a reminder helps you return to something you still need to do.

FAQ

Clear answers before you install.

Is PageStow free?

Yes. Saving tabs, local search, tab review, session restore, and JSON backup are free. No account or payment is required.

Where is my saved context stored?

Saved tabs, notes, projects, tags, reminders, task state, and sessions are stored in local extension storage unless you export a JSON archive yourself.

What permissions does it use?

PageStow uses storage, activeTab, and tabs. Bookmark access is optional and is requested only if you enable Bookmark Assist.

Does it read every page I visit?

No. PageStow uses tab URLs and titles for saving, reviewing open tabs, and finding related saves. It does not read page contents or your full browsing history, and has no all-site content scripts.
