Getting started
Saving & restoring
- How to Save Tabs as a SessionSave every tab in a window, selected tabs, one tab or all windows as a named BelayTab session. Pinned tabs and tab groups are kept.
- How to Restore a Saved SessionRestore a BelayTab session into a new window or the current one, or open single tabs. Large sessions open in batches of 20.
- Saving and Restoring Tab GroupsBelayTab saves tab groups with their names and colours and recreates them on restore, in Chromium browsers and Firefox 139+. Not on Safari.
Recovery & backups
- How Automatic Snapshots WorkBelayTab snapshots every open window every 5 minutes and when a window closes, so a crash or wrong click doesn’t cost you your tabs.
- Using the Recovery Screen to Get Lost Tabs BackThe Recovery screen gathers every way back to lost tabs: deleted sessions, automatic snapshots, recently closed windows and export files.
- How Version History WorksBelayTab keeps the last 20 versions of every session. Restoring an older version adds a new one, so nothing is overwritten.
- Setting Up Automatic Export BackupsTurn on BelayTab’s rolling export so a JSON copy of every session is written to your Downloads folder on a schedule you choose.
Import & export
- How to Import Your Tabs From OneTabMove your OneTab list into BelayTab: export from OneTab, paste it into the importer, and your tabs become sessions. Duplicates are detected.
- How to Import Your Sessions From Session BuddyBring your Session Buddy sessions into BelayTab from an export file. Each session comes across with its tabs, and repeat imports are detected.
- How to Export Your SessionsExport your BelayTab sessions to JSON, CSV, a plain URL list or HTML bookmarks. Exports are free and readable without BelayTab.
