· Compared with Biscuit 2.1

At a glance

Singlebox

A dedicated window for messaging, email, and work apps. Every app or account is its own profile with an isolated session, and each app has tabs, link rules, and password manager extensions. Best for people who want their daily apps in one place, ready in minutes.

Biscuit

A desktop app that organizes web apps and tabs into workspaces and projects, with sessions kept separate by workspace or app, per-app notifications, and a built-in ad blocker. Best for people who like to sort their apps by context.

Workspaces or one profile bar

Biscuit sorts your apps into workspaces, such as work and personal, and projects that bundle related apps and tabs. Switching workspaces changes which apps the window shows.

Singlebox keeps everything in one profile bar, so every app and account is always one click or one keyboard shortcut away. Folders keep a long list tidy, and each app can have its own tabs and tab groups.

Multiple accounts

Biscuit keeps sessions separate by workspace or app, so you can use two accounts of the same service by keeping them apart.

In Singlebox, every app or account is its own profile with an isolated session. Add a second inbox or chat workspace and it sits next to the first, signed in, with its own unread badge.

Passwords, privacy, and links

Both apps include an ad blocker. Singlebox also supports the 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass extensions, plus Dark Reader, and can lock with a password or Touch ID. Link rules send each link to the right profile, and everything else opens in your default browser.
