Save every tab you open.
One click.
Cherry Companion is a tiny Chrome extension (~9 KB) that saves the active tab, all your open tabs, or your browsing history to Cherry. All captures land in the same searchable knowledge base.

Import history
Pulls the last 7 days of your browsing history (deduped) into Cherry in one batch.
Install in 60 seconds
Cherry Companion isn't on the Chrome Web Store yet — it's a "load unpacked" dev install, which means you enable Developer mode in Chrome and point it at the extracted folder. No signup, no review process.
