Free Workona Alternative for Chrome

Spaces in Chrome — free, every feature, unlimited spaces.

Leap is a sidebar for one person's spaces in Chrome: saved tabs that stay after you close them, nested folders and pinned daily sites. Nothing to unlock, no sign-up to start.

Where Workona is the better choice

Workona is broader than Leap. If you need any of this, stay with Workona — Leap doesn't do it.

Teams that share spaces

Workona Team starts at $8 per user per month (minimum 3 users) and adds shared spaces.

Docs and tasks inside a space

Workona connects spaces to Google Drive, Slack and task apps, and lets teams share spaces.

Search and tab suspension

Workona’s feature list includes session autosaving, tab sync across devices, tab suspension and universal search.

Where Leap fits: one person, many spaces, no limits

If you work alone and want spaces for work, study and side projects without counting them, Leap keeps every feature free. Each space is built on a Chrome tab group in the same window, with its own saved tabs, folders and pinned sites.

Save a tab, close it, and it stays in the sidebar. Nest folders up to three levels deep. Pin the sites you open every day to the dock.

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.
