Biscuit and Singlebox both bring your web apps into one desktop window, with separate accounts signed in at the same time. Biscuit sorts apps into workspaces and projects.
Singlebox keeps every app and account side by side in one profile bar, with tabs, link rules, and password managers inside each app.

What is Singlebox?
Singlebox is a desktop app for the apps you work in every day. Pick from 65,000+ apps in the catalog or add any website, and every app or account becomes its own profile with an isolated session, so all your apps and accounts stay signed in side by side. It runs on macOS and Windows.
What is Biscuit?
Biscuit is a desktop app that organizes web apps and tabs into workspaces, such as work and personal, and projects that bundle related apps and tabs. It keeps sessions separate by workspace or app and includes an ad blocker. This comparison is based on Biscuit 2.1.
1. Every account, one click away
Biscuit's workspaces change which apps the window shows, and you use two accounts of the same service by keeping them apart.
Singlebox keeps everything in one profile bar. Each app or account is its own profile with an isolated session, so a second inbox or client workspace sits right next to the first, signed in, with its own unread badge.
2. More inside each app
Every app in Singlebox has tabs and tab groups, link rules that send links to the right profile, a command palette, and custom CSS and JavaScript when you want more control. Folders keep a long list tidy.
3. Passwords and privacy built in
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 when you step away.
4. Links go to the right place
Link rules send each link to the right profile, and everything else opens in your default browser.
