It reads your bookmarks directly from the browser using Chrome's bookmarks API. Your configuration including tabs, colors, and layout is stored locally using Chrome's storage API. When you create a new tab in the extension, you select a bookmark folder to display. The extension builds a grid of bookmarks from that folder. You can create as many tabs as you need to organize different areas of your digital life - work, personal, entertainment, projects. Getting Started After installation, open a new tab to see your start page. The initial setup includes one tab displaying your bookmarks toolbar. Click the settings icon to customize. Click the plus button to add more tabs.
