Changelog
Full version history of all releases
Version 7.1.0September 2026
New Features
- NEWImport Bookmarks as sessions — Turn the bookmark folders you already have into saved sessions. Every folder becomes a session and keeps its name; bookmarks sitting loose on the bookmarks bar are grouped by website instead. Nested folders are rolled into their parent rather than creating a session per folder, so the result stays tidy.
- NEWReview everything before anything is created — The import opens a preview of exactly what will be made: each session with its tab count, the site icons it contains, and the bookmark folder it came from. Rename any session inline, deselect the ones you do not want, expand a session to see every link, and read a plain list of anything that could not be imported. Nothing is saved until you confirm.
- NEWBookmark access is optional — The extension does not ask for access to your bookmarks on install or on startup. It asks only the moment you press Import Bookmarks, and if you say no, nothing happens. Updating to this version prompts you for nothing.
- NEWImport from anywhere — Start it from the dismissible prompt at the bottom of the session list, from Settings, or — in Advanced Mode — from the save menu and the command palette. In Advanced Mode you can also file the whole import into a new folder in one step.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDTidier compact layout — In Advanced Mode, compact rows now fit on a single line and everything in the row lines up on one axis, instead of wrapping onto a second line and pushing the session name off centre.
Version 7.0.1September 2026
Improvements
- IMPROVEDRedesigned Tab Management workspace — In Advanced Mode, Tab Management now opens as a full-page workspace: a vertical tool rail on the left, live tab counts as stat cards, and a detail panel on the right that explains each tool before you run it.
- IMPROVEDRedesigned Session Utilities layout — The utilities suite gets the same side-rail layout, with Pro tools grouped under their own heading and more room for results and previews.
- IMPROVEDClearer drag-and-drop — Dragging a session card or a tab row now draws a precise insertion line above or below the drop target, so you can see exactly where the item will land.
- IMPROVEDFolder colours in dark theme — Folder colour swatches and chips now have proper dark-theme variants, so folders stay easy to tell apart in both themes.
- IMPROVEDConsistent upgrade prompts — The sorting, tab-settings and archive-limit upgrade dialogs now share one design with a Pro emblem, keyboard focus trapping, Escape to close, and focus returned to where you left off.
- IMPROVEDSession folders listed in Premium Features — Session folders & subfolders now appear as a Pro feature in the extension and on the pricing page.
- IMPROVEDPolished Advanced Mode surfaces — Refreshed statistics tables, settings blocks, toolbar buttons and card hover states throughout the full-screen workspace.
- IMPROVEDSmoother Google sign-in — Signing in from the extension now shows the Google account chooser every time, so you can pick which account to connect instead of being silently signed in to the last one.
Fixes
- FIXOpening a tool directly in Advanced Mode could fail. Jumping straight into a tool hub no longer throws when the tools layout has not been rendered yet.
- FIXUnknown language codes in the URL no longer render a broken page. A URL with a locale we do not ship now returns a proper 404 instead of a page with empty metadata.
- FIXMissing Apple touch icon. Added the touch icons Safari and iOS look for when the site is saved to a home screen.
Version 7.0.0August 2026
New Features
- NEWAdvanced Mode — A full-screen workspace for managing sessions at scale: session folders, quick views, a command palette and keyboard shortcuts, with redesigned Stats, Backup, Premium and Info panels. Open it from the button next to the title, and return to Basic Mode any time.
- NEWSession Utilities — A powerful utility suite to analyze session stats, merge or split saved sessions, perform bulk tab actions, clean up clutter, and detect duplicate sessions.
- NEWDefault Mode Setting — Choose whether the toolbar button opens the compact popup or the full Advanced workspace, under Settings → Appearance.
- NEWGuided Tour — A short walkthrough of the popup on first install and after upgrading, now including a stop on Advanced Mode.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDTab Suspender Picker — Choose exactly which suspender extension the "keep tabs suspended on restore" option targets, instead of relying on auto-detection.
Fixes
- FIXSessions saved while tabs were suspended could restore placeholder URLs instead of the real pages — capture and restore now keep the original URL.
- FIXCloud Sync now merges each session independently, so a change on one device no longer overwrites edits made on another.
Version 6.6.3August 2026
New Features
- NEWExtract Page Links — A new tab in the Link Extractor pulls every link straight out of the page you are on, so there is nothing to copy and paste. Duplicates are removed for you, and the results can be copied, opened in tabs, or saved as a session.
Version 6.6.2August 2026
New Features
- NEW21 Languages — The entire interface is now available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Czech and Russian.
- NEWDisplay Language Picker — Choose your language in Settings independently of your browser's language, or leave it on Automatic to follow Chrome.
- NEWLocalized Store Listings — The Chrome Web Store listing now appears in your language, so the extension is discoverable in native-language search.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDLocale-Aware Formatting — Dates, numbers, file sizes and durations now follow your locale's conventions, and counts use the correct plural form in every language, including Russian, Polish and Czech.
- IMPROVEDSafer Text Rendering — All interface text is built as DOM nodes rather than raw HTML, removing an entire class of injection risk.
- IMPROVEDClearer Error Messages — Errors are now shown as readable, translated text instead of occasionally leaking internal codes.
Fixes
- FIXTab and session counts no longer read "1 tabs" or "1 minutes".
- FIXLong dates are formatted correctly for every language instead of using English month names.
- FIXThe "Free:" limits on the Options page render with their intended dimmed styling again.

Version 6.3.0July 2026
New Features
- NEWCloud Sync for archived sessions — Your Archived sessions now sync across every device where Cloud Sync is turned on. Archive a session on one computer and it shows up archived everywhere; restoring or permanently deleting an archived session syncs too. Archives only ever leave your device when you choose to sync, and stay within your plan’s cloud limits.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDRedesigned Session Stats — The Session Stats tool now groups open tabs (or any saved session) by domain in an interactive dashboard, with expandable per-domain tab lists and one-click actions to close tabs by domain, plus a clearer top-domains breakdown at a glance.
- IMPROVEDRefreshed Sign In dialog — A redesigned “Sign In Required” prompt explains what Cloud Sync does before you connect, with a reassuring note that your sessions stay private and only visible to you.
- IMPROVEDCleaner popup UI — Removed distracting hover tooltips throughout the popup, simplified Settings, and polished spacing, dialogs, and buttons across the extension.
Bug Fixes
- FIXSession Archive reliability — Resolved several archiving edge cases so moving sessions to the Archive, restoring them, and preserving favorite state all behave correctly.
- FIXSession creation dates no longer reset on sync — Synced sessions now keep their original “Created on” date across devices instead of showing the last sync date.
- FIXImporting a backup exported from the website — Session files exported from sessionmanager.net now import with their names, tab counts, and dates intact (previously the names could go missing).
Version 6.2.0July 2026
New Features
- NEWSession Archive — Tidy up your saved list without deleting anything. Hover a session and click the new archive icon (after Replace) to instantly move it into a collapsible Archived section below your list. The section stays out of the way, auto-expands to show where your session landed, and remembers whether you keep it open or collapsed.
- NEWRestore from Archive — Bring any archived session back to Saved Sessions with one click, or delete it permanently from inside the Archive. Free plan keeps up to 3 archived sessions; Pro members archive without limits.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDBackups include the Archive — Export now bundles archived sessions with your saved sessions, and importing a backup restores them straight back into the Archive.
- IMPROVEDArchived sessions stay local to your device and are excluded from Cloud Sync, so your archive never clutters your other devices.
Version 6.1.0July 2026
New Features
- NEWAdvanced Tab Management (Pro) — The full tab control suite is now a clearly labelled Pro feature in Session Tools, with a Pro badge. Includes: Reload All, Merge Windows, Mute / Unmute Tabs, Auto Refresh, Pin Tabs, Unpin Tabs, Sort Tabs, Close by Domain, Close by Title, Close Empty Tabs, One Tab Per Domain, and Move Tabs.
- NEWTab selection for Move Tabs — Click individual tabs in the Move Tabs tool to select them directly (just like a normal tab list). Selected tabs are highlighted; all selected tabs move together to the destination window.
- NEWAdvanced Tab Management in Premium Features & Pricing — The Premium Features panel and the pricing page now both list Advanced Tab Management as a Pro benefit, with all 12 tools named.
- NEWPopup remembers your last position & page — The extension saves your last-visited tab and restores it when you reopen the popup, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDMore descriptive tool labels — Session Tools descriptions updated to be clearer and more informative for everyday users.
- IMPROVEDTab Suspender moved before Advanced Tab Management in the Session Tools grid for a more logical layout.
- IMPROVEDPro users have full unrestricted access to Advanced Tab Management — no upgrade prompts shown inside the tool when signed in with a Pro account.
Bug Fixes
- FIXMove Tabs: only 1 tab moved when 2+ were selected. Fixed a bug where selecting multiple tabs and moving them to a new window would only move the first tab. All selected tabs now move correctly.
- FIXDark mode display issues — Fixed visual glitches in Chrome's dark mode that caused elements to appear incorrectly styled in the extension popup.
Version 6.0.7June 2026
Bug Fixes
- FIXBulk open and URL extract tools now open tabs directly from the popup context. This resolves communication issues with background service workers and improves tab loading speed.
Version 6.0.2June 2026
New Features
- NEWRemove all cloud data — Settings tab action and Account page on sessionmanager.net to permanently delete every synced session (including Recently deleted). Local sessions on this device are not affected.
Improvements

- IMPROVEDSession info popup is wider (380px) so tab titles and session names truncate less.
- IMPROVEDPro users see Import and Export in the nav bar on the Current Session view for quicker access.

Bug Fixes
- FIXPremium plan is no longer shown when you are signed out without a valid token.
Version 6.0.1June 2026
Bug Fixes

- FIXAdd window, add tab, replace, temp session, auto snapshot, and Session Tools actions (duplicate scan, suspend active tab, bulk open) use the same correct window context.
Improvements
- IMPROVEDPinned tabs are now included by default when saving sessions and temp sessions (Tab Settings checkbox on by default).
