KEEP YOUR WORK TOGETHER

Import Session Buddy into Nest

Bring your saved work from Session Buddy into Nest. Keep your original JSON export, review the import and verify a small Session before switching.

Nest is a free Chrome extension for managing your tabs.

Saved Sessions in Backup. Example projects.

Start with a copy of your saved work

Export your saved tabs from Session Buddy as a JSON export. Keep that file somewhere you control. Export before uninstalling or clearing extension data.

Keep the original export unchanged
Choose the file under Import in Nest’s Backup view; Nest recognises the format
Review the preview before saving

Open Backup. Saved Sessions is at the top.

Nest’s interface with example tabs.

Check the result before you move everything

Inspect names and tab counts in the preview, then restore a small sample. Nest can only preserve information present in a supported export. A flat URL list cannot supply original windows, group colors or pins.

Settle into a project workflow

Search and rename imported Sessions, restore a project when you need it, and export as JSON, HTML, Markdown or CSV. Free includes three named Sessions; Pro adds unlimited Sessions and cloud sync.

When to keep using Session Buddy

Keep Session Buddy if its existing workflow meets your needs or the import preview does not retain what matters to you. Verify your data before removing your original setup. Nest does not import cookies, logins or unsaved website content.

FAQ

Can I move every detail from Session Buddy?

Only information present in a supported source export can be carried over. Inspect the preview and test a restore; do not assume unrelated settings or account data migrate.

Does an import recover missing source records?

No. The importer needs the saved records in the file or text you provide.

Do imported Sessions count against the free Session allowance?

Imported Sessions are kept outside the free allowance: they never use it up, and new saves follow it as before. Updating an imported Session from your open tabs makes it your own, within the allowance.

Make room for your next project

Three named Sessions free. Pro adds unlimited Sessions, cloud sync and longer Automatic Session history.
