CatNav - Compact Launcher

Launch favorite sites from the toolbar and save temporary pages for later.

CatNav is a compact website launcher that opens directly from the Chrome toolbar. It gives you fast access to frequently used websites without replacing your New Tab page. Organize websites into categories such as Common, AI, Work, and Entertainment, then switch between them with a click or swipe. Navigation items are displayed in a compact five-column grid, keeping more shortcuts within easy reach. Save pages for later “Later” is a temporary space for websites you need in the near future but do not want to keep permanently. Add the current page with one click or use the CatNav context menu. Later items can expire automatically after 1, 3, 7, 14, or 30 days. Expired items move to the trash instead of being deleted immediately, so they can still be restored.

Navigation data and icon caches are stored locally on your device. Chrome bookmark access is optional and is requested only when you choose to import bookmarks. Website icons are loaded from Chrome or the destination website whenever possible. External icon services are disabled by default. If enabled in Settings, CatNav may send a website domain to an external icon provider solely to retrieve its icon. Why install CatNav? CatNav is designed for people who want a small, focused launcher instead of a full New Tab replacement. It keeps frequently used websites close at hand while giving temporary pages a dedicated place that cleans itself up over time.
