Toby

Toby organizes browser tabs, links, and other web resources into Spaces for projects, teams, or ideas. One-Click Save captures open tabs so users can arrange them later, while search finds pages across Spaces by title, link, or note. Smart Sort groups related tabs for review. Shared Spaces let teammates add and organize links, and collections can be shared through a link that anyone can view. Toby can save Chrome tab groups as collections and sync their changes, though that function is Chrome-only. The service lists support for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, as well as Android and iOS apps. The free Starter plan includes up to 60 saved tabs. Existing tabs above that limit remain viewable, openable, and exportable, but users cannot save additional tabs until they reduce the total or upgrade. Productivity costs $6 per member per month, and Team costs $10 per member per month. Toby says it stores account tabs and lists but does not track visited sites.

Toby combines tab saving, searchable Spaces, and sharing for individual or team organization. The 60-tab Starter limit and Chrome-only tab-group syncing are key restrictions to weigh.

Toby suits people who want to organize tabs and links by project, team, or idea. Shared Spaces may be useful for teammates who need to collect and arrange resources together.

Overview

Toby is a browser-resource organizer that saves tabs and links in Spaces for projects, teams, or ideas. It suits people who want to revisit and share collections rather than leave resources scattered across open windows. For light use, Starter may be enough; heavier personal use or team work brings per-member costs.

Key features

Spaces keep resources separated by project or topic, while search finds pages across Spaces by title, link, or note. That combination is useful when a growing library needs both structure and a way to locate items without remembering which Space holds them.

One-Click Save captures all open tabs at once for later organization. Smart Sort groups related tabs and suggests groups to review and apply, which can help turn a busy session into an organized collection without making the sorting decision for you.

Shared Spaces let teammates add and organize links together. For distribution rather than collaboration, a collection can be shared as a link that anyone with the link can view. Toby stores account tabs and lists, but its privacy policy says it does not track the sites users visit.

Chrome users can save tab groups as collections and sync group changes, a useful fit for those already using Chrome tab groups. That integration is Chrome-only. Toby also lists Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browser availability and links to iOS and Android apps; it supports cross-device sync. Google Sign-On is an option for signing in with a Google account.

Pricing

Starter is free at no cost and includes basic features, unlimited members, and up to 60 saved tabs. Once over the limit, saved tabs remain viewable, openable, and exportable, but new tabs cannot be saved until the total falls below the cap or the account upgrades. It works for occasional saving, but regular collectors are likely to find the ceiling restrictive.

Productivity costs $6 a month, billed per member / month. It adds unlimited saved tabs, advanced search, and duplicate removal, while retaining unlimited members. It is the more relevant paid tier for individuals or groups that need more capacity and better search without the Team plan's specified extras.

Team costs $10 a month, billed per member / month. It includes unlimited saved tabs, SSO, priority support, centralized billing, and unlimited members. Those additions suit organizations that need centralized payment or sign-on and priority help; smaller teams that do not need them may prefer Productivity. Both paid plans charge per member, so team cost rises with seats.

Platforms

Toby is available on the web, as a browser extension, and through iOS and Android apps. The site lists Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge as supported browsers. Chrome tab-group saving and syncing does not carry across the other listed browsers.

Who it's for

Toby is a strong fit for people who collect resources across projects and want searchable, shareable Spaces, especially teams that need to organize links together. It is less compelling for users who rarely save tabs, need more than 60 saved items without a subscription, or rely on synchronized tab groups outside Chrome.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Search across Spaces by title, link, or note makes a separated collection easier to navigate.
• Pros: Shared Spaces support joint organization, while public-link sharing offers a simpler way to let others view a collection.
• Pros: Starter allows unlimited members, making it possible to use shared Spaces without paying for seats on the free tier.
• Cons: Starter's 60-tab limit blocks new saves once reached, even though existing items can still be opened and exported.
• Cons: Paid plans bill per member, which can make team use more costly as the group grows.
• Cons: Saving and syncing Chrome tab groups is limited to Chrome, despite Toby's support for other browsers.

Alternatives

Browse tab management software for more options in the category.

Tabblar is worth considering for users who want a free plan with unlimited tabs and support for Linux, macOS, and Windows alongside mobile and extension platforms; its free tier is limited to five workspaces and one group.

tabExtend may suit someone who wants a free option with up to 30 saves and no account requirement, though that cap is lower than Toby Starter's 60 tabs.

Workona is an option for users seeking a broader desktop-platform range, but its free tier limits spaces and space sections and excludes team and organization accounts.

Pinako is an alternative for users who want a tree-based tab and bookmark organizer with rich-text notes and local backups on Linux, web, or Windows.

Tabmanager.io is an extension-only alternative centered on managing windows and sessions, including session history.

Tabox offers extension-based tab collections, restore, folders, and Google Drive sync on its free plan.

TabXpert may fit extension users who want unlimited free sessions; cloud and local backups require a paid subscription.

Raft is the alternative to consider if an open-source extension with every feature free and no paid tier is the priority.

Verdict

Choose Toby if you want searchable Spaces that can serve both personal projects and collaborative collections, with mobile access and a free starting point. Its main reason to look elsewhere is the Starter cap for frequent savers, while per-member paid pricing and Chrome-only tab-group sync narrow its appeal for larger teams or users committed to another browser.
