What is start.me?

start.me is a cloud-hosted start page and bookmark manager. A page is assembled from widgets such as bookmark lists, RSS news feeds, notes, tasks and embeds, and can serve as a browser homepage or new tab that stays in sync across browsers and devices. Pages are private by default and can be shared by link or with invited people, and a Team plan adds a shared workspace. The free plan carries advertising and is limited to three pages.
