The Symbaloo alternative — more visual, no ads
Symbaloo made tile bookmarks popular. WebBoard takes that idea further: multiple themed desktops, notes, tasks and widgets, a modern interface — and no ads on the free plan.
Why switch from Symbaloo to WebBoard
- No ads on the free plan, unlike Symbaloo webmixes.
- Multiple desktops instead of one crowded webmix: separate work, personal and watch.
- More than links: add sticky notes, task lists and widgets (weather, clock…).
- Share a whole desktop with a single link.
