Singlebox vs. OnePanel
A home for every work app, with tabs, link rules, and sync built in.
OnePanel is an all-in-one messenger for Mac and Windows, with split view, a notification inbox, and productivity extras. Singlebox is built for everything you work in, not just messaging: email, chat, project tools, and any web app, each with its own tabs, every account signed in, and your setup synced across computers.
Also available on Windows.
· Compared with OnePanel
At a glance
Singlebox
A dedicated window for messaging, email, and work apps, with tabs and tab groups inside each app, link rules, and sync on every plan. Best for people who live in many different web apps, not just messengers.
OnePanel
A commercial all-in-one messenger and desktop workspace for Mac and Windows, with split view of up to five panes, a notification inbox, a combined Teams calendar, and usage insights. Best for people who juggle many chats side by side.
More than messaging
OnePanel focuses on messengers, with split view of up to five panes, a notification inbox with history, and extras like a combined Teams calendar and usage insights.
Singlebox is designed for every app you work in. Pick from 65,000+ apps in the catalog or add any website, keep each app's pages in tabs and tab groups, group apps into folders, and jump anywhere with the command palette.
Links go where they belong
Singlebox can be your default browser and email app. Link rules send each link to the right profile, so a client link opens in that client's account, and everything else opens in your regular browser.
Set up once, use everywhere
Singlebox syncs your profiles, bookmarks, and settings across your computers on every plan, including free, so a new computer is ready as soon as you sign in.
