I've been a Toby user since 2017 and amassed a huge arsenal of links. I have watched the careful attention the dev team has put into things and been very pleasantly surprised at not only getting quick responses from real people when I send feedback (i.e., engagement), but getting useful, informative answers. I LOVE the fact that there is the option to use it as an extension as well as a [beta] web app. The Toby mini extension is also a welcome option. No matter what machine I'm on, I can alwa...

I've been using **Toby Bookmarks** for about three years, and it’s been an invaluable tool for organizing and managing project links. It's especially helpful when I need to revisit links from previous projects, as I can save everything by category. Toby really boosts my efficiency—perfect for staying focused and minimizing distractions from extra clicks. I recommend it to everyone I work with because it’s such a straightforward but powerful way to streamline online work. For anyone who juggle... Show more

All in all, it's not so much an evaluation as a thank you and goodbye. I have used Toby's basic functions with great satisfaction for a very long time. I didn't use the collaboration option and it was completely sufficient for me to have the same bookmarks wherever I logged into my Chrome account. Unfortunately (understandably) the developers decided to monetise their work. There were messages about limitations and payments that didn't give me a clear answer as to whether or not I would lose ... Show more

We wish you all the best with BrainTool and hope it meets your needs. Thank you once again for being part of the Toby community and for your kind words.

I've been using Toby for several years now and its become indispensable. I love being able to visually bookmark all my browser travels into special categories and easily be able to modify them. The UX is incredibly simple and an absolute joy to use. I've categorized thousands of bookmarks into a couple hundred specific collections—I can find everything super fast.

Toby is this teacher's best friend! I can organize collections for the different classes I teach. I can save a session on my way out the door, and return to it the next day, not having to struggle to remember what I was working on late last night. Toby has saved me an incredible amount of time.

Toby is a FIVE STAR tool. I introduced it to a client and she told me "Toby is worth its weight in gold!" I'm a legacy user which means Ive had the privilege of using it for free for sometime and when I got the email recently that Toby is transitioning to a new plan structure, I immediately thought "good for them" because I understand how difficult it is to run a successful small business when you're giving your product away for free! And Toby's product is a game-changer for increased produc... Show more

Thank you so much for the kind words and for sticking with Toby! We’re thrilled that it’s been a game-changer for you, and that you’ve even shared it with your clients. That kind of trust and enthusiasm means a lot to us. We know moving to a paid model is a big shift, and we genuinely appreciate your understanding. Running a small business while keeping a product free for so long is challenging, so this change was essential to continue supporting and improving Toby. Hearing that you see the value makes all the difference.

This is my favorite Chrome extension. It has saved me so much time in accessing the dozens of website I use each day. The program is super easy to use and love the different ways to organize everything. I have shared Toby with my colleagues and students.

Echoing the other people who felt betrayed by the free tier changes, I get that you guys wanted to monetize, but I also think you guys understand changing something from free to $54/year is gonna cause people to be annoyed like the "well, well, well, if it isnt the consecuences of my own actions" meme. As for what I'm changing to, I've fully uninstalled Toby and migrated the bookmarks to Raindrop.io and created a new tab experience by using a new tab redirect extension and a github repo cal...

We appreciate your honesty and feedback. We understand that moving from a free tier to a paid model can be frustrating, especially when you’ve relied on Toby for so long. Our goal wasn’t to disappoint our community but to create a sustainable way to keep supporting and improving the product. Hearing that you’ve found an alternative setup shows the importance of choice in tools, and we respect that decision. Our transition was based on feedback, sustainability needs, and maintaining our small team's efforts to keep Toby running smoothly. While it’s not an easy change, it’s one we felt was necessary to continue providing a quality product. We truly value the time you spent with Toby and your candid feedback, and we hope to continue learning from experiences like yours as we move forward. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

I've been using Toby for over 5 years now, and let me just say—I'm NOT that person with a million tabs open at once (you know who you are!). Toby has become the backbone of my daily workflow. With just one click, I can jump between projects without hunting through chaotic bookmark folders (goodbye, ugly bookmark bar). And don’t get me started on the “collapse all” feature. Who on Earth wants 27 tabs staring them down all day? Toby keeps my digital workspace tidy, which means my brain gets t... Show more

We designed Toby to be exactly that—an easy and sleek tool to simplify your browsing experience and boost productivity. Your kind words about the team’s responsiveness and the value you find in Toby truly motivate us to keep pushing forward and innovating. We’re thrilled to have you in the Toby community and grateful for your ongoing support. Huge thanks from all of us at Toby!

simple tool, good if free, but now that they are forcing you to pay or you will not be able to use it , then no

Hey Malek, we still have a free plan. There is a 60 tab limit, but this allows users to experience the functionality. One note, with Toby’s growth, so have the associated costs, and while we’ve always done our best to make adjustments that honor our legacy users—such as offering discounts and keeping free features—this latest step was more drastic out of necessity for sustainability.
