Workona, in a line: Spaces for each project: tabs, docs and resources kept in the cloud, autosaved and synced, with team plans. If it is not quite right, these are the extensions that cover the most of what it does, ranked by which of its features each one shares - with what they cost and where they run.
Facts read from each product’s own store listing and website on 13 October 2026. We make Latr, so it is listed first and marked as ours; the rest are ranked by the numbers.
What Workona does
Workona offers 7 of the 15 things we compare. An alternative is only an alternative if it keeps the ones you use.
The alternatives
Tab snoozer
Workona is a workspace service: an account, spaces in the cloud, and team plans on top. Latr is the opposite shape - nothing leaves your machine, there is no account, and the idea at its centre is not a space but a moment: a page you close comes back by itself when you said you needed it. If your problem is switching between projects with colleagues, Workona is built for it. If it is tabs you keep open because closing them feels like losing them, Latr is.
Covers 7 of Workona’s 7 features. Adds: brings a tab back at a time you choose, repeating reminders, reopens at the line you stopped reading, keeps tab groups, finds duplicate tabs, import and export, focus timer with site blocking.
Unlike Workona, it also runs on Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, and, like Workona, it is free to start (Free; Pro is $19 once, for themes, sounds and extras).
Choose Latr over Workona if you do not want an account, do not want your tabs in anyone’s cloud, and want a closed tab to come back at a time.

Questions
Workona does a lot well. A space per project, switched in one click, with tabs and docs kept together. People look elsewhere for what it does not offer, going by its own listing. Needs a Workona account, and stores your spaces in its cloud. The Firefox version was last updated on 30 May 2025. Nothing in its listing schedules a tab to come back at a time.
