2.    ONE TAB

Convert All of Your Tabs Into A List.

Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs again, you can either restore them individually or all at once.

When your tabs are in the OneTab list, you will save up to 95% of memory because you will have reduced the number of tabs open in Google Chrome.

Information about your tabs are never transmitted or disclosed to the OneTab developers. The only exception to this is if you intentionally click on our 'share as a web page' feature that allows you to upload your list of tabs into a web page in order to share them with others. Tabs are never shared unless you specifically use the 'share as a web page' button. 

Features:

·         OneTab lets you easily export and import your tabs as a list of URLs.

·         You can also create a web page from your list of tabs, so that you can easily share your tabs with other people.

·         You can drag and drop tabs in your OneTab list to reorder them.

·         You can also hold down the Ctrl or Cmd key while restoring tabs and they will remain in your OneTab list.

·         You can use OneTab as a way of quickly launching a set of commonly used tabs.

·         OneTab supports retina displays. Note that OneTab is designed to leave in place any 'pinned' tabs you have.

·         You will not lose your list of tabs if you accidentally close the OneTab window, if your browser crashes, or if restart your computer.

4.    TRELLO

Perspective Over All Your Projects, At Work And At Home.

Whether it's managing a team, writing an epic screenplay, or just making a grocery list, Trello is your sidekick for getting things done and staying organized.

You create drag and drop cards for your tasks and move them through different columns as they reach different phases of the project. So for instance, you can make each chapter of your thesis a project, and each section within it an individual card; you can even attach the document. You can then track each section’s movement from ‘not written’ to ‘draft’ to ‘send to supervisor’. You can also give your supervisor access to the Trello board.

Features:

·         Create boards to organize anything you're working on.

·         Use them solo or invite coworkers, friends and family to collaborate.

·         Customize workflows for different projects.

·         Add checklists of "To-Dos" on cards.

·         Assign tasks to yourself and co-workers.

·         Comment on items with your friends.

·         Attach files from Google Drive and Dropbox.

·         Upload photos and videos.

·         Reply to comments from Android Wear.

·         Display cards in a calendar view with the Calendar Power-Up.

·         Work offline and boards will sync automatically when reconnected
