How do I save tabs in Chrome without losing them?

Bookmarks save individual pages but become messy fast. SideArc lets you save tabs into named folders inside spaces. Each space keeps its own folders, pins, and structure, so you can reopen a whole project setup with one click instead of hunting through bookmarks.

How to save tabs in Chrome

Bookmarks turn into a junk drawer. Keeping everything open burns memory. SideArc gives you a middle ground: save tabs into named folders inside spaces, and reopen them when you need them.

SideArc dark theme with folders containing saved tabs organized by project — Saved structure

Save tabs into folders per space. Reopen with one click.

The problem with Chrome's default options

Chrome lets you bookmark tabs, group them, and reopen recently closed sessions. But bookmarks pile up without context, groups disappear when closed, and "recently closed" only works for the last few tabs. None of these give you a reusable project structure.

What SideArc does instead

Folders per space — save links into named, nested folders inside each workspace
One-click open — click a saved link to open it in the current space
Bookmark import — import existing Chrome bookmarks into SideArc spaces and folders
Pins for always-on pages — keep core tools pinned at the top instead of saved in a folder
Live + saved together — see your open tabs and saved folders in the same side panel

When to save vs when to keep open

If you'll need a tab in the next hour, keep it open. If it's a recurring reference you reopen across sessions, save it in a folder. If it's a core tool you use every day, pin it. SideArc makes all three coexist in the same panel.
