- Built for teams: shared spaces, SSO and admin controls on higher plans.
- SOC 2 Type II, per its own listing.

The core difference
What actually separates Toby and Workona
Both are workspace tools with cloud sync and team plans. Toby centres on a visual board of collections on the new tab page, free up to 60 saved tabs. Workona centres on spaces you switch between by project, with every tab autosaved and suspended tabs to save memory, and team features up to SSO. Workona needs an account; Toby can be used as a guest until you sign in to sync.
What both miss
What Toby and Workona both miss
- Neither lists bringing a tab back at a time.
- Both keep your tabs in their cloud once you sync.
- Both ask for tab access at install.
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.
