Home Screen
Every link, tool and widget you reach for at work, on one fast, private start page. One small binary, no accounts, no cloud.
What is Home Screen?
Section titled “What is Home Screen?”Home Screen is a start page for your browser, built for people who juggle a lot of links. It is a grid of tiles you arrange yourself, a launcher (Ctrl+P) that searches everything and doubles as a toolbox, and a set of small widgets. It runs as a single program on your own machine and keeps everything in a local database.
- Organise dev, stage and production URLs, GitHub repositories, AWS consoles, Datadog queries, Jira and DevOps filters, pipelines and internal tools into tiles you can drag, resize and collapse.
- Find anything with one search box, then jump straight to a link, a repository’s pull requests, or a tool.
- Do small jobs without leaving the page: calculate, convert units and currencies, decode a JWT, format JSON, test a regex, preview Markdown, generate a QR code or a password, and more. Every one of those tools is also a widget.
- Stay private: it only listens on your machine, has no accounts, and sends nothing to a server of ours.
