Chrome Tab Manager with Groups, Snooze, Sessions & Notes
Nest sorts what you’re working on into categories, snoozes what you’re not, and brings back what you closed — so closing a window stops being a decision.
No account needed · Pro adds cloud sync, export and NEST ChatClosing a window stops being a decision
Restore what you closed by accident, roll back to a local snapshot when something goes wrong, and save up to three named sessions — all free, no account. Pro makes sessions unlimited and adds export and cross-device sync.
- One-click restore for recently closed tabsfree
- A Vault of automatic local snapshots, taken before big changesfree
- Three named sessions free; unlimited on Profree
- Backups as a readable HTML page or portable JSONpro
Sort a domain once. Never sort it again.
Pin any domain to a category and every future tab from that site routes there on its own. Categories mirror Chrome’s native tab groups, so nothing lives in a private silo.
- Domain rules with auto-suggested categories
- Runs in Chrome's side panel, so the list stays open while you browse
- Multi-window aware — a letter badge shows where a tab lives
- Snooze or restore an entire group at once
Later is a place, not a pile
Send a tab away until tonight, Saturday, or a date you pick — it comes back on its own. Attach a note so you remember why you kept it in the first place.

Not a chatbot. A pair of hands.
NEST Chat runs real actions on real tabs — find, close, group, snooze, save, export. It can also read a page when you ask it to, and never before.
If you already use one of these
Most tab extensions do one of recovery, grouping, or snoozing. Nest is the one that does all three plus notes.
