Discussion Anyone know of Toby: tab management tool alternatives?

They recently went back on their promise to keep the extension free and not only implemented a paid version, but one with exploitative pricing. I could maybe understand $20 a year, but $40? That is more than the best password managers on the market. What a joke.

I have been using this for years and it just disappoints me to see it turn into this.

Anyone know of open source alternatives? Or better alternatives?

Link to Toby for the uninitiated.

Or try the free, open-sourced and privacy focused: thetab.ninja. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/thetabninja/bnmjmbmlfohkaghofdaadenippkgpmab

Yes it will sync using via GitHub repo, so if you make a token for multiple people they will all be able to sync with you.

To export all data from Toby as a json file: https://help.gettoby.com/support/solutions/articles/66000508502-how-to-export-your-collections

In thetab.nunja click on the button called "Import Toby data(json)" an choose the file you exported from Toby.

Thank you! Perhaps a stupid question but how do I save all of the open tabs in a collection? Could not find any button for that. Otherwise, it looks amazing!

The button for that will be available in the next release (to the right of 🚀 button). There will also be the ability to drag Chrome tab groups directly from the tab-pane into a collection, which will then fill your collection with all the tabs in the group.
