What is the main difference between OneTab and Leap?

OneTab stores your tabs as a list on its own page and closes them. Leap keeps places: spaces in a sidebar, with pinned daily sites and saved tabs next to the tabs you have open.

Does OneTab have folders and sync now?

Yes. Stored tabs can be organized into folders and groups, dragged between them, searched, starred and marked as tasks. OneTab offers optional cloud sync and backup between devices, end-to-end encrypted with AES-256. (Read on one-tab.com, October 2026.)

Does Leap work in Firefox or Safari like OneTab?

No. OneTab is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and more, with no signup required. Leap runs only in Chrome and other Chromium browsers.

Will Leap save memory the way OneTab does?

Saved tabs in Leap can be closed and reopened with one click, so you can keep the browser light — but Leap doesn’t close tabs for you in one sweep the way OneTab does.

Can I move my OneTab list into Leap?

Not automatically yet. Open the tabs from OneTab and save them into Leap spaces or folders; an importer is planned.

OneTab Alternative with Spaces

OneTab saves a list. Leap keeps places.

OneTab is great at closing every tab into a list. Leap is a Chrome sidebar where your work lives in spaces — pinned daily sites, saved tabs and the tabs you have open, side by side. Free.

A list you go to, or places you work in

OneTab

Close everything into a list

One click on the OneTab icon stores every tab in the current window as a list on the OneTab page; restore them one at a time or all at once.

Because stored tabs are closed, OneTab says it can save up to 95% of browser memory.

Leap

Keep each context as a place

Work, study, a side project — each is a space in the Chrome sidebar, built on a tab group in the same window. Switch in one click from the bar at the bottom.

In each space, pinned daily sites sit in the dock, saved tabs stay after you close them, and your open tabs are listed right below — nothing to go back to a separate page for.

What OneTab does well — honestly

OneTab is no longer just a list. If you need Firefox or Safari, stay with OneTab — Leap runs only in Chromium browsers.

Folders, search and stars

Stored tabs can be organized into folders and groups, dragged between them, searched, starred and marked as tasks.

Encrypted sync

OneTab offers optional cloud sync and backup between devices, end-to-end encrypted with AES-256.

Every browser

OneTab is available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and more, with no signup required.

Leap at a glance

What Leap does and doesn't do, in plain words.

What it is: A Chrome extension that adds a vertical sidebar (Chrome’s side panel) with spaces, saved tabs, folders and pinned sites. Not a separate browser.
Spaces: Each space is built on a Chrome tab group in the same window. Switch spaces in one click from the bar at the bottom of the sidebar. Unlimited spaces.
Saved tabs that stay: Save a tab into a space or folder, close it in Chrome, and it stays in the sidebar — one click reopens it.
Nested folders: Folders inside folders, up to three levels deep.
Pinned sites: Pin the sites you open every day to the dock. A click focuses the tab you already have instead of opening a duplicate; if a site shows an unread count in its tab title, the count appears on the icon.
Open tabs: Your open tabs are listed below your saved ones, and the section can be collapsed.
Make it yours: Name, emoji, color and background for every space. Dark and light themes.
Saving: Right-click any page → “Save to Leap”. Two shortcuts: Alt+S opens or closes the sidebar, Alt+Shift+S saves the current tab.
Sync and sign-in: No sign-up to start. Spaces, saved tabs, folders, pins and settings sync to Leap’s server whether you sign in or not. Sign in with email in any supported browser, or with Google in Chrome, to get the same spaces on another computer.
Browsers: Chrome and other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Vivaldi. Google sign-in works only in Chrome; elsewhere sign in with email. No Firefox or Safari.
Price: Free. Every feature, for everyone — no trial, no credit card.
Privacy: Only tabs you explicitly save are synced; your browsing history is not. Leap does not sell your data. Deleting your account removes sign-in immediately and synced data within 30 days.

What Leap can't do

Hide Chrome’s tab bar: Chrome doesn’t let extensions hide its horizontal tab bar. Leap lives next to it, in the side panel.
Separate logins per space: Spaces share one window and one set of cookies. Separate logins need separate Chrome profiles.
Import from Arc, OneTab or Workona: Not yet — spaces from other tools are rebuilt by hand.
Tab search or a command palette: Neither. Leap has two shortcuts: Alt+S and Alt+Shift+S.
Automatic grouping: None — you decide what goes where.
