A lighter alternative to Workona
Workona turns your browser into a project workspace. Tabner does something smaller on purpose: it keeps the tabs you want to come back to in boards you can search.
Free. No account needed. Without one, your tabs never reach our servers.
Two different ideas
Workona swaps your set of open tabs when you change space, and adds tasks, docs and integrations with tools like Google Drive and Slack. If that's what you're after, it does it well. Tabner leaves your open tabs alone. You save what matters into boards, close the rest, and find it again later.
| Tabner | Workona | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Not needed. Sync is optional | Workona account |
| Free | Tabner is free: boards, sessions, search, import and backup | Free for individuals, with a limit on spaces and on sections per space |
| Open tabs | Untouched. You choose what to save | Each space has its own set of open tabs |
| Extras | Notes, tags, sessions, rules by domain, public board links | Tasks, docs, integrations and templates |

Moving from Workona
Tabner doesn't read Workona exports, so the simple route is to open a space and save its tabs in Tabner with Save All Tabs, or as a session. Each Workona space can become a Tabner board.
When Workona is the better pick
If you want tasks, docs and team workspaces in one tool, or you like your browser to rearrange itself per project, stay with Workona. If you mostly want a tidy, searchable place for tabs that works without signing up, try Tabner.
Questions
Does Tabner have workspaces?
Tabner has spaces, which keep sets of boards apart, like Work and Personal. Switching space changes which boards you see. It doesn't close or open your tabs.
Can I share boards with my team?
Yes, with the optional account. Invite people as editors or viewers and see changes live, or publish a read-only link.
