Workona

Workona is a browser-work organizer built around project spaces, with an optional tab manager for saving and restoring sessions. It is best suited to individuals and teams that want tabs and project resources organized together. Its strongest case is the combination of shared project structure and private tabs; the Team plan’s three-user minimum and task-app support are important constraints.

Overview

Workona brings browser tabs, web links, Google Drive folders, Slack channels, and task lists into project spaces. That makes it more useful for coordinating ongoing work than a tab saver alone, but people who only want to collect tabs may not need its project-oriented structure.

The optional tab manager can search, suspend, autosave, and restore tabs, including past sessions for up to 90 days. Session recovery is a practical safeguard for work spread across many browser windows; it is less compelling if you rarely need to revisit closed sessions.

Key features

• Project spaces and templates: Spaces gather project resources, and templates can set them up for repeat projects. Workona says it can create content from 6,000+ apps via Zapier. Its integrations page lists Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello, and Slack, but spaces currently connect to Asana and Trello; ClickUp, Monday, and SmartSheet are marked coming soon. Teams choosing it for task-list integration should confirm that their current app is supported.
• Private tabs in shared spaces: Tabs remain private to each user rather than visible to space collaborators. This distinction makes shared project organization more suitable for teams whose members also need to keep unrelated browsing private.
• Security and administration: Workona says data in transit uses 256-bit TLS and stored database data uses AES-256 encryption; its servers are in the United States. SAML single sign-on and organization-level controls for domains and external users give larger organizations useful administration options. Workona also says it uses Google Cloud, makes regular backups, maintains continuity and disaster recovery plans, and has staff on call 24/7/365.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing. It is for individual accounts and includes limited spaces and space sections, with no free team or organization accounts. That is a sensible way for an individual to start, but the space caps and lack of team accounts rule it out for collaborative use.

Pro has custom pricing, with monthly or annual billing available. It is an individual plan with unlimited spaces and sections, 90-day session backups, space integrations, and templates. It is the more fitting tier for an individual who outgrows Free’s space limits and wants those project tools without a team account.

Team costs $12 a month, billed at $12/user/month or $108/user/year with annual billing. It requires at least 3 users and supports up to 25 team members, with shared spaces, team templates, and priority support. The minimum makes it a poor fit for a two-person team, while the 25-user ceiling sets a clear boundary for growing groups.

Enterprise has custom pricing, with a quote available through sales. It supports unlimited users and teams and adds admin controls, SSO, auto-provisioning, and domain restrictions. Those controls make it the relevant option for larger organizations, but it requires a sales conversation rather than a published price.

Platforms

Workona is available as an extension, on iOS, and on the web, with compatibility across macOS, Windows, and Linux. The web app works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari; extensions are supported on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Its cross-device sync suits people who move between devices, though Safari users must use the web app rather than an extension.

Who it's for

Workona fits individuals managing several projects across browser tabs and apps, and teams that want shared project spaces without exposing each member’s tabs. It is less suitable for teams relying on task-app connections beyond Asana and Trello, or for groups below three users that need a paid shared plan.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Project spaces combine tabs, links, and app resources, reducing the need to organize each project in separate places.
• Pro: Session autosaving and restoration for up to 90 days can help recover interrupted browser work.
• Pro: Private tabs within shared spaces let teams collaborate without making personal browsing visible to collaborators.
• Con: Free accounts are individual and have limited spaces and sections, so collaboration requires a paid tier.
• Con: Team starts at three users and tops out at 25, making it a poor match for smaller pairs or larger organizations.
• Con: Spaces currently connect to only Asana and Trello among the task apps named, limiting its usefulness for teams centered on other task tools.

Alternatives

For a broader range of tab-management options, browse Tab Management Software. Choose Tabblar if a free plan with unlimited tabs, five workspaces, one group, and tab search better suits a tab-focused workflow. Pinako is worth considering for a free extension with local backups, rich-text notes, and tab and bookmark trees. tabExtend offers a free plan with up to 30 saves, unlimited time, and no account requirement. Toby is another freemium option, with a free Starter plan that allows up to 60 saved tabs and unlimited members. Tabmanager.io is an extension alternative whose Free plan includes window and session management, saved sessions and windows, session history, and basic support. Tabox offers free tab collections, restore, folders, and Google Drive sync. Sidebery is a free Firefox extension, with donations accepted. Tablerone is free donationware available as an extension.

Verdict

Choose Workona if you want browser sessions and project resources organized in spaces, especially if your team needs collaboration while keeping tabs private. Its combination of session recovery and shared project structure is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if you need a free team account, a paid plan for fewer than three people, or space connections to task apps beyond Asana and Trello.
