Importing your data into Toby is a straightforward process that supports three different formats: JSON, HTML, and TXT. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get your data into Toby quickly and easily.

Supported Formats for Import

   • Ideal For: Full account backups, including notes and tags, or transferring data between Toby accounts.

2. HTML

   • Purpose: Same format used by most web browsers for bookmark management.

3. TXT

   • Purpose: A simple list of URLs in a text file.
