Toby Tab Manager: Save Tab Sessions and Close Them Safely

Too many open tabs slow you down, but closing them feels risky. Toby lets you save them first, organized, so you can close the window without losing anything.

How it works

1. Save: Save every tab in a window as a session with one click; Toby closes them for you, or you can keep them open. You can also drag a single tab onto your board.
2. Organize: Group tabs into collections, and collections into spaces, for example one per client, class or research project.
3. Restore: Reopen one tab or a whole collection from the new tab page, the side panel or the toolbar, on any computer where you sign in.

Toby also works with Chrome tab groups: you can save a group with its color and reopen it as a group.

Other useful touches

• See all your open windows and tabs next to your saved collections, and merge all windows into one.
• One search across spaces, collections, saved tabs and open tabs.
• Notes on your board, with checklists and links.
• Use Toby in Chrome’s side panel or as a pop-up.

Plans

According to Toby’s pricing page, the free Starter plan saves up to 60 tabs. Paid plans (Productivity and Team) offer unlimited saved tabs, advanced search that also covers your browsing history, and duplicate detection; the Team plan adds features such as single sign-on.
