Stowback

Pro feature

Back up your saved tabs and tab groups to a file

An extension keeps its data inside the browser. If the extension or the browser profile is removed, the data goes with it. A file does not.

Coming soon to the Chrome Web Store

How

  1. Free: open the Backup tab and press "Back up now". Keep the file wherever you keep files.
  2. Pro: switch on "Write a backup file every day". Chrome asks once for permission to save files.
  3. To restore, or to move to another computer, install Stowback there and import the file.

What you get

  • The daily backup goes to a folder named Stowback in your Downloads: one file replaced each day, and one kept per month.
  • If your Downloads folder is synced by a cloud drive, so is the backup, without Stowback ever talking to that drive.
  • A backup holds your snapshots, workspaces and settings. It never holds your license key.
  • The panel reminds you when you have had no backup for two weeks.

Limits worth knowing

  • Chrome may show each automatic backup in its downloads bar.
  • The automatic backup needs Chrome’s permission to save files, which you can take back at any time.
  • The timeline is not part of a backup.

Every install starts with 14 days of Pro, no card needed. See pricing.
