Tiler: Visual Bookmarks & New Tab

Upgrade your New Tab with visual bookmarks. Manage and organize your favorite sites using folders, custom tiles, and drag-and-drop.

Tired of a cluttered bookmark bar? Can’t find the website you saved yesterday? Meet **Tiler** — the ultimate visual bookmark manager that transforms your Chrome New Tab into a clean, organized, and beautiful dashboard. Access your favorite sites instantly with a customizable speed dial, right at your fingertips. Unlike standard Chrome bookmarks, Tiler visualizes your links as aesthetic tiles. It completely synchronizes with your existing Chrome Bookmarks, giving you a fresh perspective without any complicated setup or migration. 🚀 **KEY FEATURES:** ✨ **Visual Bookmarks & Speed Dial** Turn boring text links into beautiful tiles. Tiler automatically creates a premium gradient background with the site's favicon or a smart initial-based identicon. 📁 **Smart Folders & Organization** Group your bookmarks into folders to keep your New Tab clean. Everything that isn't sorted goes to an auto-generated "Ungrouped" folder. Use visual separators to group tiles within a single folder. 🖱️ **Seamless Drag & Drop** Rearrange your workspace intuitively. Drag and drop tiles between folders or long-press to reorder folders and tiles exactly how you want them. 🎨 **Ultimate Customization** Make the New Tab yours. Set your own background image (JPG, PNG, WebP), adjust the number of columns, and apply custom colors to specific bookmark tiles. 📸 **Local Screenshots** Capture a snapshot of any website to use as the bookmark's thumbnail. It’s all processed locally on your device. 🔍 **Lightning-Fast Search** Find any saved link in milliseconds with real-time filtering by title and URL. ♻️ **Trash & Recovery** Accidentally deleted a bookmark? No worries. Our built-in recycling bin keeps your recently deleted links safe for up to 24 hours. ⚙️ **Import, Export & Sync** Fully synced with your native Google Chrome bookmarks (adding, deleting, and editing). Plus, backup and restore your specific Tiler settings (backgrounds, tile overrides, and folder order) anytime. 🔒 **PRIVACY FIRST & SECURE** Your data belongs to you. Tiler operates securely on Manifest V3. We don't use external tracking services to fetch favicons, and site screenshots are generated locally on your device. No third-party servers spy on your bookmarks. Upgrade your browsing experience with Tiler today and enjoy a fast, customizable, and visually stunning New Tab page!
