In short
- OneTab, according to its site, turns all your tabs into one list with a single click, which frees memory at once. It is free, keeps the list on your computer and needs no account; it does not sync.
- Session Buddy, according to its site, keeps snapshots of your windows and tabs on your computer, to look through and restore later. It is free.
- Toby, according to its site, organises tabs into boards and collections. It uses an account to sync, with a free plan that has limits and paid plans.
- Wyrd is a keyword extension first, and tab bundles are one feature you switch on.

Questions
- Is Wyrd a OneTab alternative?
- For putting tabs away and bringing them back, yes: > /clear saves and closes a window's tabs as a named bundle, and > tabs/name reopens them. OneTab is simpler, one click for everything; Wyrd names each bundle and opens it by keyword.
- Does Wyrd save my tabs automatically?
- No. Wyrd reads your tabs only when you save them with /clear, /dedupe or /save, or pick tabs for a bundle, and only after you switch Tab bundles on.
- Do I need an account for Wyrd's tab bundles?
- No. Bundles are kept on your computer, and the 10 most recent go through your own Chrome sync. If you want every bundle on every computer, Wyrd can keep them in a sheet in your own Google Drive after you sign in with Google.
