Startly - Grid-Driven New Tab

A customizable new tab page with a bookmark grid and handy widgets.

═══════════════════════════════════════════ Why install Startly? ═══════════════════════════════════════════ You open the browser dozens of times a day, only to land on an empty new tab — then dig through bookmarks, type a search, and only then start working. Startly turns that wasted moment into your workspace. It's not another flashy theme. It's a lightweight productivity tool that puts the links you use most in plain sight, keeps the small tools you reach for (clock, timer, memo…) within glance, and syncs everything across your devices so you never lose your setup when you reinstall or switch machines. If any of the following sounds like you, Startly is built for you: ✓ Your bookmarks bar is so full you can't find what you actually use ✓ You want a launchpad that combines bookmarks, clock, and pomodoro ✓ You jump between home, office, and laptop and want the same new tab on each ✓ You hate "beautiful" new-tab extensions that show ads and track you ✓ You want a clean, controllable, privacy-friendly homepage ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Core features ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 📌 A drag-and-drop bookmark grid · Drop any URL, Chrome bookmark, or Markly entry onto an empty cell · 100×100 canvas — arrange freely; customize icon, color, and label · Lasso-select to bulk move/delete; one-click lock prevents accidents 🧩 Built-in widgets that just work · Clock, date, weekday, week number, year & day progress · Pomodoro timer for focused work; Markdown-supported memo · Fully local — no backend, instant response 🎨 Personalization that's actually yours · Upload your own wallpaper or enable Bing's daily image · Load any ttf / otf / woff font file · Tweak cell size, border, color; light / dark / system theme · Give the page its own name and emoji — make it yours ☁️ Cloud sync & version history (one click after sign-in) · Every change auto-uploads 30 seconds after you stop editing · Each sync creates a full snapshot — browse any past state · One-click restore to any historical version (each with a thumbnail) · Works offline; uploads automatically when you reconnect 🔒 Your data, your rules · Local data never leaves your device by default · Free users' wallpapers and fonts stay 100% local — never uploaded · No browsing history collected, no ads, no behavior tracking · Full privacy policy is public and transparent ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Shared account with Markly ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Startly shares an account with our other extension, Markly (AI bookmark manager). Sign in once, use both — Markly organizes your bookmarks with AI, Startly pins the ones you use daily right onto your desktop. ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Keyboard shortcuts ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + K Global bookmark search ⌘/Ctrl + Z Undo Delete Remove selected cells Esc Clear selection / close dialog ═══════════════════════════════════════════ What to do after installing ═══════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Open any new tab — you're already using Startly 2. Drag your most-used bookmarks straight into the grid 3. Right-click an empty cell → add a clock or pomodoro widget 4. Open the side panel → Account → sign in to enable cloud sync 5. Done editing? Tap the lock icon at the bottom-right and browse safely ═══════════════════════════════════════════ Free to use ═══════════════════════════════════════════ All core features (grid, widgets, wallpaper, fonts, local saving) are completely free for everyone. No usage limits, no feature gates. Upgrade to Pro is only useful when you want to: · Sync wallpapers / fonts / custom icons to the cloud and share them across devices · Keep more backup history (Free 10 → Pro 50/100) Don't like it?
