Best Free Alternative to Workona Tab Manager
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Tab Manager is free and covers part of what Workona does: it saves a window's tabs as a named session to restore later, finds any open tab across your windows, and puts idle tabs to sleep to save memory. It has no account, so nothing syncs between computers, and it doesn't have workspaces that switch automatically, team sharing or exports. If you need those, Workona's free plan or Chrome's own saved tab groups may suit you better.
