OneTab vs Workona
These solve different problems. OneTab clears tabs out of the way in one click and keeps them in a list on your computer. Workona organizes your whole working day into spaces, synced through an account.

Choose OneTab if
you mostly need tabs gone and memory back, without signing up for anything.
Choose Workona if
your problem is switching contexts: client A’s tabs and docs in one space, client B’s in another, each restored with a click.
Somewhere in between
Chrome’s own saved tab groups give you named sets of tabs that sync, with no extra account. Stackboard, below, turns sets of tabs into stacks of bookmarks on your new tab page.
A third option
If what you really want is for saved tabs to turn into something you’ll find again, Stackboard (ours) saves a window as ordinary Chrome bookmarks, one stack per tab group, and lays them out on your new tab page. No account, free and open source; Chrome sync carries the bookmarks and they stay if you uninstall.
Questions
Can OneTab organize tabs by project like Workona?
Version 2 of OneTab added folders, so you can file groups by project. It doesn’t switch your open tabs between projects the way Workona’s spaces do.
Which is lighter on memory?
OneTab closes the tabs it saves, which frees their memory straight away.
