Toby is a game-changer for tab organization! It keeps my browser clutter-free and makes switching between projects seamless. The intuitive interface and drag-and-drop collections are perfect for productivity. Highly recommended for anyone juggling multiple tabs daily! ps. i pay for it and i am happy with it. God bless

I love Toby and use it across six separate workspaces (personal, my business, two nonprofits, a client, and an advocacy group). I’m the only user in all of them. The product itself is great, but the upgrade/billing experience needs work. When I upgraded to “Unlimited,” the flow led me to believe I was upgrading my entire account. After paying, I found out the upgrade applied to only one workspace. For solo users managing multiple workspaces, this is confusing and makes budgeting hard. I’ve seen other users share similar experiences—thinking the plan is account-wide, getting charged multiple times across workspaces, or needing to contact support just to move an upgrade to a different workspace. Suggestions to improve: * Make it crystal clear that plans are per workspace before checkout. * Show exactly which workspace is being upgraded and allow switching it. * Offer an account-wide or multi-workspace bundle, or let us select multiple workspaces in one checkout with transparent pricing. * Add a Billing Dashboard that lists all workspaces, plan status, renewal dates, and total spend. * Allow self-service subscription transfers between workspaces with prorating and a short grace period after purchase. * Add a clear “How billing works” section and an FAQ with examples for multi-workspace, single-user setups. Toby is excellent otherwise, and I’d happily recommend it—once the billing transparency and multi-workspace upgrade flow are clearer.

I love the Toby extension. It is very easy to use when I need to save a collection. I can't quantify the time saved by being able to keep everything organized from one work day to the next.
Linda Pryor
I use TOBY all the time for every presentation I make. I get all the docs or slides or images ready in advance and add them to TOBY - it works like a dream. Thank you!

Goodbye! Toby was the main reason I kept using Chrome, as it wasn’t available elsewhere. But with the new 60-bookmark limit, I'll no longer be using Toby...and maybe not Chrome either. It's sad to see such a great extension forced behind a paywall instead of being supported by its users. Thanks for all the years, it was an amazing product while it lasted.
nenavision
I really loved this extension, sad that they limited bookmarks to a maximum of 60. I had the extension since way before they added this limit, so I had 70+ bookmarks saved. With this new limit I couldn't add anymore bookmarks unless I deleted many of the ones I had saved. If you want your free users to change into a paid account, incentivize them with new features, don't limit their activities in hopes of forcing them into a paid account. - A sincerely disappointed user.

Goodbye, I have been using the bookmark plugin for 7 years。
Ke Wang (Charlotte)
Best bookmark extension, improved my work efficiency a lot. Tried several alternatives but none of them are as user friendly and in line with my aesthetic taste. Would still subscribe it once my student discount expires, can't live without it :)
linsey rose
Very useful - been using for years!
Olivia
I’ve had this extension for years, but its now reached a point where they're purposefully making it unusable unless you pay the subscription. They even promised it would stay free, so this feels pretty scummy.

Works perfectly! It helps me sooo much organizing all the tabs, the ones I use the most and also links that I just wanna save to read or remember something later. I'm distracted with lots of open tabs anymore because I can just save one session easily and come back to it later. Really a game changer

In Chrome, after some time it will cause all file upload buttons in all pages to become unresponsive. This is a bug that only happens after interacting with Toby.

its not free anymore
Tetiana Kudrenko
I also lost access to my work tabs and don’t understand how it happened. When I log in through my personal email, my personal tabs are still there, but everything is gone on the work account. It feels like after I logged in again with my work email, the system no longer let me access the previous tabs. Now I don’t know where to find them, and I regret not saving the tabs earlier — at least as regular Chrome bookmarks.
Constantin Militaru
!!! Not recommended. I already lost all my bookmarks in Toby (on both work and personal computers) when they introduced the mandatory login/registration. Yes, the update forced me to log in or register, so I had no way to export my bookmarks — and after registering, none of my bookmarks were available anymore. I thought, “Okay, maybe that won’t happen again since everything is now saved in a database.” WRONG. Now they’ve introduced a subscription model, and my bookmarks were restored to a version from months ago, meaning I lost all recent changes. !!! I will stop using this tool. It’s a nice extension, but it certainly doesn’t deserve the prices they’re now asking for. And even if I were willing to pay, I wouldn’t trust them with my bookmarks again — they’ve lost them twice.

As always people get greedy, now to use for more than 60 tabs costs money..nah, i'm out!
Lydia W
A must have for teachers! Useful and I am very happy to have received a free upgrade when I sent in my teacher's details. Have been using it for years and I highly recommend it for smooth multi-tasking especially when you have too many tabs open. I recommend it to all my colleagues and friends!
Alexandr Zaharia
Suddenly ask me to login, and after I done it reset all my toolbars as new. I LOST ALL MY TABS. Was a good app, but become to waste.
dave pittman
I got introduced to this in 2020 and have loved it ever since. Its very intuitive and easy to adapt to your changing needs. Tech support has been wildly helpful on the two occasions that I have needed them in the past 5 years.

Toby is a game changer for tab management! As a student, I’m constantly juggling multiple tabs for research, lectures, and assignments — and Toby helps me stay sane. It’s clean, easy to use, and has genuinely improved my workflow. Highly recommended for anyone who lives in their browser!

60 cards limits is really too few.
Heyhey Heyhoev
You have to put: " YOU NEED TO SIGN UP" Why i need to sign up to external service to use my local bookmarks...
Larry Wolpe
I've been using Toby for several year. As an elementary school principal, I find it extremely valuable. It beats bookmarking and keeps all of my important tabs in one place. I really love it! It's a fabulous organizational tool
Hajer Bouraffa
The absolute worst experience I've had with an extension or otherwise. I had installed it believing it would save a chrome session as is with tab groups, instead when I tried saving the tabs from a window it closed EVERYTHING and since I had 80+ tabs in that window, it exceeded the 60 tab limit so not only did I lose the tab groups which had everything organised but also so many tabs that were above the limit. It would've made sense to put the limit warning BEFORE closing everything now all my progress is lost. This was by far one of the worst things I’ve dealt with in anything tech-related.
G. Salim Mohammed
So far I have really liked TOBY. I love how flexible it is, and how I can have unlimited collections and how I can move them on and off. I recommend this tool - now I have to convince my colleagues to also use it!

used to be free, moving to raindrop.io
Manmeet Sodhi-Raab
Toby has been a great organization companion for me. I like working with 100 tabs open but that isn't a feasible or advisable thing to do. I also do not like losing time looking for the correct tab. Toby has helped organize my work and increased my efficiency. The only thing that I do not like is the pricing. I appreciate that they have discounts for educators, but the plan itself for others is quite expensive.

FREE for 2 years for Educators! I have used Toby for years and have found it invaluable for organizing lessons and resources and managing daily workflow. I've recommended Toby many times . However, I wasn't sure I was going to pay full price, mayyyybee I'd consider $20 for the year. However, I was ecstatic to see they offer it for free for educators. Verification was simple and took less than 24 hours. Will continue to recommend. Grateful!
Álvaro Mena
The pricing updates and policies are exploitative. I've been using it for years, would love to support but not under this conditions. Moving to a different manager, it's a shame they took this route... alas it is what it is
Armin Pasic
I've been using Toby for a while now, and it's incredibly useful and practical for managing tabs. It keeps everything organized and helps reduce tab clutter, which is a lifesaver when juggling multiple projects. I’d love to see future updates with features like more themes and the ability to add descriptions to saved tab groups—but even without those, it’s totally worth it. Great tool that makes everyday browsing much more efficient!
Daizy Hearnsberger
This is my #1 recommended tab organizer for anyone! I love it!
Elias Singstad
Coukld not even fit my tabs from one window alone. 60 tab limit
haitham abusulb

Locked my cards for money bruh

If you are someone who works with other people, this is a game changer. Being able to share tabs with your colleagues is really helpful. As a software engineer, there are multiple applications I and my colleagues use everyday, having this in a collection where i could open them in 1 click is really great. Also for new team members, we could just add them to the organization and they automatically have access to these collections and tabs easily. This is also a great tool for personal use, especially for someone like me who usually has over 80 tabs open at once. This helps me manage my tabs better and also save a lot of memory
Regina D
Get Toby - it is genuinely the best tool to manage your tabs! The interface is very intuitive and logically organised. I have been using the tool since 2020 and it has transformed the way I organise my web resources - per topic, project and clients. I can share a collection with another user which is also really helpful when collaborating on something. And... I have not had a single technical hick-up, and I think this is extremely rare! So highly recommended!
Shay Emmons
As a business owner and participant in several other organizations, I find it so useful to have a tab organizer for all my projects and interests. What I love most is the ease of use--just save a window and be able to close it quickly. I also love the various display options, and the ability to have separate workspaces. I've tried alternatives and Toby just has the easiest and most pleasing interface to use!
Dan Wiggs
As a graphic designer with numerous projects on the go at any one time, Toby is the only app I trust keep my tabs safe. Being able to save batches of tabs for every day use and the ease of organisation is a gamechanger. Love it!
Sean P.
Love this app as there`s NOTHING! else that comes close. If you`re a pro or just a novice finding a great tool for all the bookmarks you have piled up THIS IS IT! Been using for a little over a year, I can`t get enough. Toby is so easy to use, you can be almost be blindfolded and not mess things up. Everyone needs Toby in there lives because I don`t know how us as humans managed keeping bookmarks in the past! Try it! believe me you`ll love how easy it is to use and wonder why you waited so long to get it. Trust me!!
Sarah Vickers
Toby has been a huge part of my professional and personal career for over 7 years now. I am one of those people who always has WAY too many tabs open on my computer and phone. Toby is great because it has helped me organize and I don't get worried about losing information or resources for work or regular life because it's so easy to use. It's really easy to organize: -Create organizations (for some people who use this as a company this could be multiple, but I just have the one) -Within the org, create spaces. These spaces are nice because you can create areas for different things. I have several. For example, resources for my career, links to remember for work along with work spaces and resources, a collection for health (such as mental health and habits), cooking, etc. -Within each space, you can have different collections. So for instance, inside my career space, I have collections for books and resources I've learned about, pages related to different courses I've taken, and many other collections of wisdom and data from over the years. Overall, Toby is by far one of my favorite discoveries and most-used tool out there!!
Beth Carr
Last year, I had to do some major maintenance on my laptop's OS to keep it working and while doing this, it wiped out all my bookmarks that had been categorized by clients and important destinations I used daily. When I discovered Toby, it was a game-changer. The ease in which I am able to drag and drop and save sessions has helped me organize thoughts and projects in ways I couldn't imagine prior. Toby is always open and always helping me win.
Kristy McCoy
I love Toby for organization. I work in education and it's so helpful to keep track of the links needed for a variety of reasons (different classes, daily use, work in progress, etc.). In addition, I love the ability to share the links with anyone. It makes life so easy when I have a group of tabs I need to share with others.
