Toby, in a line: A visual board on the new tab page: tabs saved into collections and spaces, synced to every computer you sign in on. If it is not quite right, these are the extensions that cover the most of what it does, ranked by which of its features each one shares - with what they cost and where they run.
Facts read from each product’s own store listing and website on 13 October 2026. We make Latr, so it is listed first and marked as ours; the rest are ranked by the numbers.
What Toby does
Toby offers 9 of the 15 things we compare. An alternative is only an alternative if it keeps the ones you use.
The alternatives
Tab snoozer
Toby is a board you go to; Latr is a schedule that comes to you. Toby turns the new tab page into collections you open when you choose, and it is built for sharing them with a team and reaching them from any device. Latr keeps a library too, but its centre is time: a page closed with a time reopens on its own when that time comes. Toby’s free plan holds 60 saved tabs; Latr’s free tier has no cap on how much you save.
Covers 8 of Toby’s 9 features. Not listed or missing: mobile app. Adds: brings a tab back at a time you choose, repeating reminders, reopens at the line you stopped reading, saves sessions automatically, puts idle tabs away automatically, focus timer with site blocking.
Unlike Toby, it also runs on Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, Arc, and, like Toby, it is free to start (Free; Pro is $19 once, for themes, sounds and extras).
Choose Latr over Toby if you work alone, want no account and no cap on saved tabs, and want tabs to come back at a time rather than wait on a board.
