Session Manager: Local and flexible

A Chromium and Firefox extension that saves your session on websites like social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, Reddit) and other sites where session tokens are stored in cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and IndexedDB. I created this extension because it's useful when I log in incognito mode or simply don't want to spend time logging in, avoiding email verification or 2FA, or just entering my email and password.

It's a very useful way to speed up web browsing.

Use Cases:

• Quickly switch between multiple accounts on the same website
• Test different user states without manual login
• Backup important logged-in sessions before clearing browser data
• Share session states with team members for debugging
• Keep separate work and personal browsing sessions

Features

• Complete Session Management: Save and restore entire browsing sessions including:
  • Cookies
  • localStorage
  • sessionStorage
  • IndexedDB
• Local Storage: All data is stored locally on your device - no cloud sync, no external servers
• Import/Export: Easily backup and transfer sessions between browsers
• Domain-Based Organization: Sessions are organized by domain for easy management
• Search Functionality: Quickly find saved sessions with built-in search
• Privacy First: Your data never leaves your device
