The original
Workona
Organises tabs into per-project workspaces that sync across devices.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Workona.
Toby
Visual tab manager that organises links into collections on the new tab page.
Toby organises links into collections on a visual new tab page, and also requires an account, but it does not suspend unused tabs and charges for team features.
Tab Session Manager
Saves and restores window and tab sessions, with optional cloud sync.
Tab Session Manager is free and MPL-2.0 licensed, saving and restoring sessions automatically with optional Google Drive sync instead of account-based project workspaces.
Session Buddy
Manages tabs and bookmarks as saved, searchable sessions.
Session Buddy is free and manages tabs as saved, searchable sessions with crash recovery, but it works only in Chromium browsers and has no sync or sharing.
OneTab
Collapses open tabs into a single list you can restore later.
OneTab is free and collapses open tabs into named lists you can restore later, but lacks project workspaces and syncing, and shared lists upload URLs to its server.
Tab Stash
Stashes batches of tabs away as ordinary bookmarks.
Tab Stash is free, GPL-3.0 licensed and stores stashed tabs as ordinary bookmarks that sync through the browser, but it is Firefox only.
Also worth comparing
These listings name Workona as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
Auto Tab Discard
Suspends inactive tabs to free memory, keeping them in the tab strip.
Workona also suspends unused tabs, but it organises them into synced project workspaces, requires an account, stores tab data on its servers and charges beyond a few workspaces.
