# TabGroup Vault
> Chrome extension that saves, restores, and organizes tab groups in one click: built for people who work with dozens of tabs across projects, research, and client work.
TabGroup Vault lets you snapshot your entire tab group layout, restore it instantly after a crash or restart, and keep multiple saved workspaces side by side. The free tier includes 10 snapshots; a card-required 7-day Pro trial costs $0 today and converts to one $39 lifetime payment unless cancelled. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
