In their own words
Pinako
Pinako is a browser extension for organizing tabs and sessions in nested trees and restoring closed tabs and windows to their earlier positions. Libraries collect tabs, windows, and notes, including shared workspaces. Notes support rich text; Pro+ adds resizable image, video, and audio embeds stored in Pinako cloud. Search includes natural-language queries and an AI Librarian chat panel, while an MCP bridge connects desktop AI clients and runs locally. AI Search sends the query and relevant context to xAI's Grok API. The free extension stores data locally; the privacy policy says Pinako does not sell data, read page contents, or train AI models on stored data. Backups can use local snapshots or optional services including Google Drive, Dropbox, Filecoin, Arweave, and Storj. The Free plan is free. Pro is $5 a month, Pro+ is $10 a month, Premium is $25 a month, and Enterprise is $60 a month. New subscribers can try Pro and Pro+ monthly plans for 14 days without providing a payment method.
Tabmanager.io
Tabmanager.io is a browser extension for organizing open tabs and windows. Users can search and filter by title or URL, sort tabs, group them by domain, suspend them, find tabs playing sound and remove duplicates. Window controls let users rename windows, move tabs between windows by drag and drop, open tabs in new windows and merge windows. Saved windows can be restored, and smart restore opens tabs suspended. Session History offers a timeline for restoring individual windows or tabs and can save snapshots automatically in case the browser crashes. Users can also create URLs to share windows. The extension runs on Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi and Opera. Its Free plan costs nothing and includes window and session management, saved sessions and windows, session history and basic support. Advanced costs $35.88 a year and includes Backup & Sync and priority support. Session history is saved on the local machine, not in the cloud.
