Tab Session Scratchpad

A tiny browser extension for saving useful tabs with quick notes, then exporting the whole session as Markdown.

If you often end up with too many open tabs while researching, shopping, studying, debugging, writing, or job hunting, Tab Session Scratchpad gives you a simple place to save what mattered and why.

Instead of leaving 30 tabs open and trying to remember which ones were important, save the current tab, add a note, and come back to it later

EARLY VERSION NOTE

This is version 0.1.0.

It is intentionally small: local notes, saved tabs, search, reopen, copy, and Markdown export. If you want a heavy bookmark manager, team sync, cloud accounts, or mobile support, this is not that.

If you want a lightweight scratchpad for browsing sessions, this is what it is built for.

WHY PAID?

This product is part of a small independent software experiment by Pantifa Labs.

Buying the supporter pack helps fund more simple, privacy-friendly tools.
