Reboo Review: Edit Any Website's Style Without Code

What Is Reboo and How Does It Work?

Reboo is a desktop application — not a browser-based SaaS — that lets you visually restyle any website without digging into the code. You download it to your Mac, Windows, or Linux machine, point it at a URL, and start clicking on elements to change colors, fonts, sizes, visibility, and more.

The basic workflow is straightforward: create a new project by pasting in a URL, and Reboo pulls in the live page. From there, you use the "Restylizer" tool to select any element on the page and modify its properties through a visual interface. When you're happy with the changes, you paste a two-line code snippet into your site's tracking area, hit publish, and your edits go live — served through Reboo's CDN.

At the time of this review, Reboo was available on AppSumo as a lifetime deal starting at $49 for up to 20 projects (websites). Stacking two codes bumped that to 40 projects, and three codes unlocked unlimited projects.

Restyling a ThriveCart Checkout Page

To put Reboo through its paces, Dave used it to restyle a ThriveCart checkout page — a platform that's notoriously limited when it comes to visual customization. ThriveCart is a popular checkout system with lifetime deal origins of its own, but its templates are restrictive and don't offer much control over colors, fonts, or layout.

The first changes were simple but effective: swapping out the default green accent color for a custom pink, changing button colors to match, and resizing columns so the checkout form stretched to full width instead of sitting in a narrow sidebar layout. Reboo handled all of this in real time, and the width controls gave surprisingly fine-grained results.

One particularly useful trick was hiding ThriveCart's stubborn footer branding. While ThriveCart lets you remove the "Powered by ThriveCart" text, it forces a year stamp that looks awkward on embedded pages. With Reboo's visibility toggle, that element simply disappeared. These kinds of edits — small but impossible through the platform itself — are exactly where Reboo earns its keep.

Advanced Features: Hover Effects, Animations, and More

Beyond basic color and layout changes, Reboo packs in a surprising number of extra features. Hover effects let you add interactions like pop or grow animations to buttons, giving checkout pages a more polished, engaging feel. Entry animations work similarly but trigger on page load — think fade-ins and slide-ins common on sales pages.

CSS filters are another standout. You can apply Instagram-style effects to images directly in Reboo — grayscale, blur, contrast adjustments, inversion — without ever opening Photoshop. There's even a "reset on hover" option that reveals a blurred image when someone mouses over it, which could work as an engagement tool on the right kind of page.

Tooltips let you attach hover-triggered info boxes to any element, complete with customizable themes (white, green success, blue info) and adjustable sizing. Ribbons add promotional badges like "Deal Ends Soon" to any section, with control over color, text, and position. Rounding out the toolkit are social share widgets, scroll-to-top buttons, cookie consent banners, a typewriter text animation, and image banners that can link out to other pages.

Where Reboo Falls Short

Not everything worked perfectly. The "Action on Click" feature — which is supposed to let you trigger events like opening a URL in a popup when someone clicks an element — didn't function at all during testing. Clicking the configured element simply did nothing. That said, Dave notes this isn't a dealbreaker, since modifying click behavior through a CSS overlay tool rather than at the source is generally a bad practice anyway.

The elephant in the room is performance. Because Reboo works by injecting a CDN script into your page, every visitor has to make an additional third-party call to load your style changes. That means added latency on every page load. For a primary website built on WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix — platforms where you can edit styles directly — this overhead simply isn't worth it.

Reboo also requires you to trust their CDN for uptime. If their servers go down, your style changes disappear and visitors see the unstyled original. That's a dependency worth considering, especially for mission-critical pages like checkout flows.

Final Verdict: 7.2 out of 10

Reboo earned a 7.2 out of 10. It's a genuinely useful tool, but only for the right use case. If you're running a WordPress or Squarespace site, you're better off making style changes at the source — it'll be faster, more reliable, and won't add another dependency to your stack.

Where Reboo shines is with locked-down SaaS platforms. If you're using ThriveCart, Kajabi, Teachable, or any other service that restricts your design options, Reboo gives you a visual way to override those limitations without hiring a developer to write custom CSS injection scripts. Even one or two of those use cases can justify the $49 price tag.

The 20-project limit on a single code should be plenty for most users, though power users running agencies or managing multiple client checkouts might want to stack to unlimited. As a desktop app with a one-time fee and no recurring costs, Reboo is a low-risk addition to your toolkit — just make sure you actually need it before you buy.
