Best for saving and sharing browser tabs in collections
Toby saves your open tabs into spaces and collections, with sharing, sync across browsers and an extension for one-click saves. The free plan stops at 60 saved tabs, and unlimited tabs and advanced search need Productivity at $4.50 a member a month. SSO and priority support are on Team at $8.
Who Toby is for
- Fits if you keep a pile of open tabs and want them filed away
- Works for a small team sharing a set of research links
Who Toby is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 60 saved tabs per workspace fills fast
- Pricey if you need unlimited tabs or advanced search, which are Productivity at $4.50 a member a month
- Not for you if you need SSO or priority support, as those are Team at $8 or Enterprise
- Watch out: Enterprise has no published price
Why Toby gets a 2.4

- BFeaturesSpaces, collections, session saving, sharing, sync, search with duplicate removal and AI organization. The listing names no gap in saving tabs.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You set up spaces and collections yourself.

Keep Toby, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Toby you could make: bookmarks, web clipper and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 52 other read-later and bookmark apps grade higher. It costs $54 a year.
What you could make
- Bookmarks, web clipper and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- Several people working in it at the same moment.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Toby’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Toby?
Toby saves browser tabs and links into collections inside Spaces, one for each project or team, and syncs them across browsers and devices. A Space can be shared with teammates, and saved sessions let you close a window and reopen the tabs later.
Worth knowing
- The free plan stops you from saving new tabs once a workspace holds 60; saved tabs stay viewable and exportable.
- Unlimited saved tabs, advanced search and AI start on the paid plans.
- SSO and priority support are limited to Team and Enterprise.
Key features
- Spaces and collections
- Create a Space for each project or team and sort saved tabs into collections inside it, with tags and notes on each saved tab.
- One-click save and sessions
- Save all open tabs in one click, store them as a session, and restore them later; organize them when you have time.
- Shared Spaces and links
- Invite teammates into a Space so anyone can add and organize links, or turn a collection into a share link.
- Sync across browsers and devices
- Spaces stay in sync across the browsers and devices you sign in to; the site lists web, iOS and Android apps beside the extension.
- Search and duplicate removal
- Basic search is on every plan. Advanced search through history and removal of duplicate tabs need Productivity or Team.
- AI organization
- The comparison table lists AI features on the paid Productivity and Team plans.
