Honestly
Where each one wins, and where it falls short
Where Raindrop.io wins
- Apps for every platform: browsers, desktop, iPhone, iPad and Android.
- Highlights and annotations, and full-text search of saved pages on Pro.
- Permanent copies of saved pages on Pro, so a deleted page is not lost.
- No permission warning at install.
Where Raindrop.io falls short
- Needs an account; bookmarks live in its cloud.
- Reminders, full-text search and the duplicate finder are Pro features.
- Not a tab manager: no saved windows or open-tab tools in its listing.
Where Toby wins
- A visual board of collections on the new tab page, with drag and drop throughout.
- Shared spaces for teams, with unlimited members on every plan.
- Syncs to every computer you sign in on, with phone apps on iOS and Android.
- Version 2.0 shipped on the Chrome Web Store on 12 October 2026.
Where Toby falls short
- The free plan stops at 60 saved tabs per workspace.
- Removing duplicates and searching history are on paid plans.
- Nothing in its listing schedules a tab to come back at a time.
The core difference
What actually separates Raindrop.io and Toby
Both sync saved links across devices with an account. Raindrop.io is a bookmark library - collections, tags, highlights, full-text search on Pro, and apps for every platform. Toby is a tab tool - save a window as a session, reopen collections in a click, share spaces with a team. Raindrop is for reading and keeping; Toby is for getting back to work.
What both miss
What Raindrop.io and Toby both miss
- Neither keeps everything on your own device: both are cloud services.
- Toby does not list reminders, and Raindrop.io’s are a Pro feature.
- Neither lists reopening a page where you stopped reading.
Where Latr comes in
Latr closes a tab with a time and reopens it on its own when that time comes, scrolled to the line you stopped reading. It also saves whole windows with their tab groups, manages your open tabs and keeps a library of pages - on Chrome, Edge and Firefox, with no account, and with no permission warning at install. It is new and small, and it has no phone app.
