Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 27 of the 66 other read-later and bookmark apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about OneTab, taken from its own pages and our grades.
An extension you install and click, with no store rating read and nothing to set up.
- 1
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.

OneTab has no paid plan at all.
- 3
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.
- 4
Folders, stars and tasks
Saved tabs can be dragged into groups and folders, starred, or marked as tasks that are ticked off when done.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Listed as free, but the site has no pricing page to confirm that no paid option exists. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Listed as free with no plan or card, though the site does not confirm it. |
| Features | C | It does the tab-list job fully, which is a smaller job. Saved pages are links with no article text or highlights. |
| Ease of use | B | An extension you install and click, with no store rating read and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari, with no phone, desktop or integrations. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- People who keep dozens of tabs open and want their memory back
- Parking research sessions to come back to later
- Sharing a set of links as a single page
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.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Free
No paid plan at all
OneTab's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
Listed as free, but the site has no pricing page to confirm that no paid option exists.
We could not confirm OneTab’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. one-tab.com has them.

Place it runs: Browser extension

- 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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
