Singlebox vs. Rambox
A focused home for your work apps, without a workspace system to manage.
Rambox and Singlebox both bring your work apps and accounts into one desktop window. Rambox leans into configuration, with nested workspaces, AI panels, and power-user controls. Singlebox keeps setup simple: add your apps, sign in to every account, and get to work.
Also available on Windows.
· Compared with Rambox 3
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 links open in your regular browser. Best for people who want their daily apps in one place with as little setup as possible.
Rambox
A desktop workspace for apps and accounts, with workspaces, nested workspaces, tile view, an AI side panel, unified search, and a command launcher. Best for people who like to build and tune a detailed setup.
Simplicity versus configurability
Rambox organizes apps into workspaces, which can be nested and given working hours. It also offers per-app proxies, custom user agents, and JavaScript and CSS injection, mostly on its Pro plan. If you enjoy designing your workspace, that depth is a real advantage.
Singlebox takes the opposite approach. There are no workspaces to plan. Your apps and accounts sit in one profile bar, folders keep a long list tidy, and each app can have its own tabs and tab groups. Most people are set up in minutes. When you want more control, it's there too: link rules, custom CSS and JavaScript, and per-app proxies.
Multiple accounts
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.
Rambox also supports multiple accounts of the same app. Its multi-login and session management features are part of Rambox Pro, and the free plan allows two instances of each app.

Why Singlebox
Why choose Singlebox
Set up in minutes
Pick apps from the catalog or add any website, sign in, and you're done. There are no workspaces, rules, or layouts to configure before Singlebox is useful.
Every account side by side
Each app or account is its own profile with an isolated session, so a second inbox or client workspace is one click away and stays signed in.
Simple to start, room to grow
A command palette, tabs and tab groups, link rules that send links to the right profile, custom CSS and JavaScript, and per-app proxies are there when you want them, without getting in the way when you don't.
Where Rambox may be a better fit
- You want workspaces, including nested workspaces and working hours, to separate clients or parts of your life.
- You need a custom user agent or a mobile view for specific apps.
- You want an AI side panel and unified search built into the app.
- You manage a team and want preconfigured workspaces or SAML and Active Directory sign-in.
Which should you choose?
Choose Rambox if you like building a detailed workspace and want advanced controls, AI tools, and team administration in one app.
Choose Singlebox if you want your messaging, email, and work apps in one window with every account signed in, and you'd rather spend your time in those apps than configuring the app that holds them.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I switch from Rambox to Singlebox?
