Add to Chrome — freeDedicated Workspaces
Create a workspace for each project, team, or area of your life rather than mixing everything together.
One Workspace per Project
Work, client research, a side project, personal reading: each deserves its own space. Zen Tabz keeps them separate so you can close one context and open another in a click, without rebuilding anything by hand.
Why workspaces beat one giant tab bar
Collections, sessions, and workspaces
These three ideas are easy to blur, so here is the distinction Zen Tabz draws. A collection is a saved set of tabs, named so you can find it later. A session is everything you had open at once, restored together as a unit. A workspace is the project or context those collections belong to: the folder that keeps a project’s research, drafts, and reading list in one place.
Switching context without losing it
Most tab overload comes from mixing unrelated work in one window. When a client project, a personal trip, and a side build all sit in the same tab bar, none of them feels finished, and closing any tab feels like a risk. A workspace fixes that by giving each context a home you can return to, so closing the tabs costs nothing and starting the next project is one action instead of ten minutes of setup.
- Keep a client project, a research thread, and personal browsing in separate workspaces.
- Save the tabs for a context once, then restore the whole arrangement whenever you return.
- Stop carrying yesterday’s project in today’s tab bar.
Local, private, and free
Workspaces live in your browser by default, with no account required. Optional encrypted cloud sync is available if you want the same workspace on a second computer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a browser workspace?
- A workspace is a named container for a project or context. It keeps the collections and sessions that belong together in one place, so you can switch between projects without rebuilding your tabs.
- How is a workspace different from a collection?
- A collection is a saved set of tabs. A workspace is the project those collections belong to. One workspace can hold several collections.
- Can I use workspaces for free?
- Yes. Zen Tabz is free, requires no account, and stores workspaces in your browser by default.
- Do workspaces sync across computers?
- If you enable optional encrypted cloud sync, yes. Without it, they stay on the device where you created them.
