I just found
https://github.com/nex3/perspective-el
"The Perspective package provides multiple named workspaces (or "perspectives")
in Emacs, similar to multiple desktops in window managers like Awesome and
XMonad, and Spaces on the Mac.
Each perspective has its own buffer list and its own window layout. This makes
it easy to work on many separate projects without getting lost in all the
buffers. Switching to a perspective activates its window configuration, and
when in a perspective, only its buffers are available (by default).
Each Emacs frame has a distinct list of perspectives.
Perspective supports saving its state to a file, so long-lived work sessions
may be saved and recovered as needed."
It looks like that's what I'm looking for.
It's not compatible with desktop.el because it offers its own facilities.
