Toby alternative
A free Toby alternative. No account, no limits.
Toby needs an account, keeps your tabs in the cloud, and caps the free plan at 60 items. Tabulka is free with no limits, needs no sign-up, and keeps everything on your own device.
Why people look for a Toby alternative
- You need an account. Toby requires you to sign up before you can save anything.
- Your tabs live in the cloud. Toby stores your collections on its servers. Some people would rather keep their browsing on their own device.
- The free plan has a 60-item cap. Once you save more than 60 items, you need a paid plan to keep going.
- Some basics are paid. Duplicate-link detection is part of Toby's paid Productivity tier.

What Tabulka does differently
No account, ever
Install it and start. There is no sign-up, no login, and nothing to breach or leak.
No item limits
Every feature is free, and you can save as much as you like. There are no tiers to upgrade to.
Local-only storage
Everything stays in Chrome's local storage on your device. Tabulka makes no network requests and works offline.
Sessions and snapshots
Tabulka captures a window's tabs when you close it, and keeps rolling daily backups you can restore.
When Toby is still the better choice
- You need your tabs synced across several computers. Tabulka has no sync.
- You use Firefox or Safari. Tabulka runs only on Chrome and Chromium browsers.
How to switch from Toby
- Install Tabulka from the Chrome Web Store.
- In Toby, export your data first so you keep a backup.
- Open one Toby collection. Its links open as normal tabs.
- Open Tabulka's tab drawer, select those tabs, and save them to a list or folder. Or save the whole window as a session.
- Repeat for each collection you want to keep.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Toby alternative with no account?
Yes. Tabulka is completely free and needs no account. There is no sign-up, no item limit, and no paid tier. Your tabs, lists, and sessions stay on your own device.
Does Tabulka have an item limit like Toby's free plan?
No. Toby's free plan stops at 60 items. Tabulka has no limit on how many tabs, links, folders, or sessions you save, and every feature is free.
Can I import my Toby collections into Tabulka?
Not directly. Tabulka can't read Toby's export. Open each collection in Toby, then save the tabs into Tabulka from its tab drawer. Keep Toby's export as a backup until you are done.
Where does Tabulka store my tabs?
In Chrome's local storage on your own device. Tabulka has no servers, so no one else can read your data. Uninstalling the extension removes all of it.
Try Tabulka. It's free and stays on your device.
No account, no sign-up, no tracking. Install it and start organising tabs.
