MacOS – App to remember open app/file & browser window and their placement

macossoftware-recommendation

Is the an app or utility for the Mac (Mavericks – in particular) that will allow me to save everything I have open (apps w/files, various browser windows & tabs) so that they can be reopened later?

I do a lot of research for various projects. Many times I can't complete the research in one sitting and have to try to remember what apps and more importantly what search rabbit trail I had gone down. It would be so much easier if I could take a "snapshot" of what is open, where it is at, save it as a profile / task group / desktop config (saving their size and location on screen) – call it what you want, then reopen it later.
