Release Notes

What's new and what's fixed in each version of Tab Valet.

Version 1.1.0 Latest

June 2026

Tab Snooze New

Park a tab and tell it when to come back. Instead of leaving tabs open "just in case," snooze them and Tab Valet returns them at exactly the right time.

  • Snooze any parked tab via the clock icon in the sidebar, or right-click any open page and choose Snooze Tab from the context menu
  • Four quick presets: Later (4 hours), Tomorrow (9 AM), This Weekend (Saturday 9 AM), Next Week (Monday 9 AM) — plus a Custom date/time picker when you snooze from the sidebar
  • New Coming Back sidebar section lists waiting tabs sorted by wake time, with a cancel button on hover
  • New Ready sidebar section (highlighted in amber) alerts you when a snoozed tab's timer fires — click to open, re-snooze, or dismiss
  • Snoozed and Ready tabs count toward your tab total — including the free-plan limit — just like parked tabs

See the Snoozed Tabs guide for a full walkthrough.

Bug Fixes Fix

  • Active tab protection — the tab you're currently viewing can no longer be accidentally parked by the auto-parking engine, even on pages that trigger unusual focus events during typing.

Reliability Improvements Reliability

  • Service worker self-healing — the background service worker now detects and clears stale migration state after a Chrome update or device sleep, preventing the parking engine from freezing silently.
  • Serialized storage writes — concurrent storage operations are now queued with a mutex, eliminating rare data races when multiple tabs are parked or restored simultaneously.
  • TypeScript background module — the core background script was migrated to TypeScript, closing a class of silent type errors in the tab-lifecycle pipeline.
