Best for turning open tabs into a saved list
OneTab turns every open tab into one list with a click, with folders, search and sharing as a page. The site publishes no pricing, saved pages are links only, and uninstalling the extension makes the browser delete stored tabs unless you exported them first.
Who OneTab is for
- Fits if you keep dozens of tabs open and want the memory back
- Works for parking a research session to come back to
Who OneTab is not for
- Watch out: uninstalling the extension makes the browser delete stored tabs unless exported or synced
- Not for you if you want a reading queue, as it saves links with no article text
- Skip it if you want a price list, as the site has no pricing page
- Too light for phones, as it is a browser extension only

OneTab's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 27 of the 66 other read-later and bookmark apps we grade, and level with 9.

OneTab has no paid plan.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.

Keep OneTab, or make your own?
Keep it
OneTab is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
What you could make
- Bookmarks and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- End-to-end encryption done properly.
What this rests on. OneTab’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is OneTab?
OneTab is a browser extension that collapses every open tab into a single list page, so the tabs stop using memory until you restore them. Saved tabs can be grouped into folders, starred, marked as tasks and searched. Lists can be exported, shared as a web page, or synced between browsers with encryption.
Worth knowing
- The site publishes no pricing page, so whether any paid option exists could not be confirmed.
- Uninstalling the extension makes the browser delete stored tabs, unless they were exported or synced first.
- It is a tab list, not a reading queue: saved pages are links only, with no article text or highlights.
- Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari versions are named; other Chromium browsers use the Chrome version.
Key features
- One-click tab list
- Click the toolbar icon to store every tab in the current window as a list, then restore them one at a time or all at once.
- Folders, stars and tasks
- Saved tabs can be dragged into groups and folders, starred, or marked as tasks that are ticked off when done.
- Search saved tabs
- A search bar on the OneTab page finds saved tabs, and the browser address bar can search the list through a keyword.
- Share as a web page
- A stored group can be published as a web page for other people or devices. Tab lists are otherwise not uploaded.
- Export and import
- Lists of tabs can be exported and imported, which also works as a backup of saved groups.
- Encrypted cloud sync
- Optional sync and backup across devices; the vendor says data is encrypted with AES-256 and that only the user holds the key.
