> Start page and bookmark manager built from widgets

## Key features

- **Start pages built from widgets:** A page combines widgets such as bookmarks, news feeds, notes, tasks, calendar, weather and embeds, arranged by dragging, and can be set as a browser homepage or new tab.
- **Bookmark management:** Links are saved in one click from the browser extension or mobile app and organized into pages, widgets and groups. PRO adds broken and duplicate link detection.
- **News (RSS) widgets:** An RSS widget follows a news source, blog or industry feed, and new articles show up on the page automatically.
- **Sharing and collaboration:** Pages are private by default and can be shared through an open, password-protected or public link, or by inviting people as viewers or editors. Page collaboration needs PRO.
- **AI bookmark tools:** On paid plans, AI features tidy bookmark titles, sort links into place and suggest useful sites to add.
- **Team workspace:** The Team plan adds a shared workspace with member management, an admin console, a custom subdomain and branding, and SAML single sign-on.

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan shows advertising and stops at 3 start pages with basic widgets only.
