Your sites, one screen

Pin any site as a tile. The favicon is fetched automatically and cached, so your dashboard stays fast and works even offline.

Portable by design

Export everything to a single JSON file and import it on any other browser or device. No account, no sync server — you own your data.

Search like a launcher

The command bar filters your tiles live, opens the top match on Enter, jumps to a URL, or runs a bang search on Google, YouTube, Wikipedia and more.

Local weather, no key

See current conditions and a 4-day forecast from Open-Meteo using your location or any city you type. No API key, no signup.

A free browser start page, explained

Homescreen is a start page that runs entirely in your browser: tiles for your favourite sites, categories, a search box with bang shortcuts and local weather. Below: privacy, icons, backups and how the weather and bang shortcuts work.

Is it free and private?

Yes. No login, no signup, no ads. Your tiles, categories and settings live only in your browser's localStorage and never touch a server.

How are favicons cached?

When you add a site the icon is fetched and, when the source allows it, stored as a data URL inside your saved config. That means your homescreen renders instantly and keeps showing icons even with no connection.

How do I move it to another device?

Click Export to download a JSON backup, then Import it in any browser. You can also keep that file as a backup of your whole setup.

How does the weather work?

It calls the free Open-Meteo API. With permission it reads your approximate location from the browser, or you can click change and type any city. Toggle °C / °F by clicking the unit.

What are bang shortcuts?

Prefixes that route your query to a site: !g Google, !yt YouTube, !w Wikipedia, !gh GitHub, !ddg DuckDuckGo, !a Amazon. Without a bang, Enter opens the first matching tile, opens a typed URL, or searches the web with your default engine.
