In their own words
Toby
Toby is a browser-tab and link organizer for collecting web resources and returning to them later. Users can make a Space for a project, team, or idea, then sort its tabs and links. One-Click Save captures all open tabs for later organization. Search finds pages across Spaces by title, link, or note, and Smart Sort groups related tabs for review. Users can invite teammates to shared Spaces, where members can add and arrange links, or share a collection through a link that anyone can view. Toby also saves Chrome tab groups as collections and syncs changes to those groups; that feature is limited to Chrome. The service lists Chrome, Firefox, and Edge availability, along with Android and iOS apps, and supports Google Sign-On. Toby says it stores account tabs and lists but does not track sites visited. The free Starter plan allows up to 60 saved tabs; existing tabs remain viewable, openable, and exportable over the limit, but new ones cannot be saved until the total is reduced or the account upgraded. Pricing is Free, or paid from $4.50/mo (annual).
Workona
Workona is a collaborative web app for organizing browser work and gathering project resources from other apps into shared spaces. A space can bring together Google Drive folders, Slack channels, task lists, browser tabs and web links. Its optional tab manager organizes tabs into spaces, autosaves them and can restore past sessions for up to 90 days. Space templates can set up project resources, and Workona says Zapier can create content from 6,000+ apps. The integrations page lists Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello and Slack; its help page says spaces currently connect to Asana and Trello among those task apps. Tabs in shared spaces stay private to each user. Workona works on Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari across macOS, Windows and Linux, with extensions for Chrome, Edge and Firefox. Individuals can use a free plan with limited spaces and sections. Team costs $12 a month, billed at $12 per user monthly, or $108 per user per year with annual billing.
