Tabkeep or Workona? One takes over your windows. The other gives your projects a home.

Workona turns each project into a window you live in. Tabkeep keeps every project on your new tab, with notes beside the links, and works without an account.

We make Tabkeep. Everything about Workona here comes from Workona's own pages, we say where Workona is ahead, and planned Tabkeep features don't count.

Tabkeep is a place to keep things, not a window to live in

Tabkeep doesn't take over your windows. It lives on the new tab, where every collection, space and group waits until you need it. Save what matters, close the rest, and open a new tab to find it again.

Groups hold saved tabs, rich-text notes, checklists, images, stopwatch timers and clusters, and easels give a project a free-form canvas. The live sidebar shows what is open now, so saving and closing happen on the same page, and Alt+A finds any tab from any page.

Your data stays in your browser

Workona is cloud-based: you sign in, and your spaces are stored on its servers. Tabkeep stores your workspace in your browser, opens instantly, and works without an account. Upgrade to Pro when you want the same workspace on another computer.

Where Workona still fits

Workona is a project manager for teams: each space is a window that autosaves with hourly backups, and it adds shared spaces, Google Drive, Slack and admin controls. If several people work out of the same set of tabs, it is ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Does Tabkeep open a window per project like Workona?

No. Tabkeep keeps projects on the new tab and leaves your windows alone. You open what you need from there.

Can Tabkeep suspend tabs?

Yes. The sidebar's session actions include Put inactive tabs to sleep, and sleeping tabs are marked in the list.

Does Tabkeep back up my sessions automatically?

Your workspace saves as you change it, and with an account it syncs to the cloud. Saving a window as a session is something you do on purpose; there is no hourly timeline like Workona's.

Is there a team plan?

Not yet. For shared team spaces today, Workona is the better fit.

Try Tabkeep out. No account needed.
