I built WorkTab, a browser extension that helps you manage and restore tab sessions by organizing them into workspaces. Everything is stored locally—no cloud sync, no tracking, no remote servers.
You can install it via the website above or directly from the Chrome Web Store.
Currently available (free version):
- Create up to 3 workspaces to organize your tabs per project or topic
- Auto-save sessions (60s, 2 min, 5 min intervals)
- One-click session restore — restore all tabs in a workspace
- Group tabs by domain, detect duplicate tabs
- Use built-in workspace templates
- Search across tabs by title or URL
- Light / dark UI, keyboard shortcuts, easy UI
- Works entirely in the browser (IndexedDB storage), no tracking, no analytics
Why I built it:
I often juggle multiple projects — coding, research, browsing docs — and end up with dozens of tabs. I wanted a simple way to save, restore, and manage tab sets so I don’t lose track of what I was working on, and so I can switch contexts without clutter.
Tech notes:
- Chrome / Chromium extension (Manifest V3)
- Uses IndexedDB for local storage
- Tab grouping and management using native tab APIs
- Export / import of workspace state via JSON
- Optional “Pro” upgrade gives unlimited workspaces, automatic backups, tab suspension, domain rules, bulk actions, and more — but the free tier is fully functional.
What I’m looking for:
- Feedback on performance and responsiveness, especially with many tabs open
- Usability feedback — is workspace switching intuitive? autosave intervals reasonable?
- Suggestions for improving tab search / grouping / workspace organization
- Interest or demand for a Firefox / non-Chromium version
Thanks for taking a look. I’m around to answer questions or discuss improvements.
