📝 Custom fonts
🔒 Privacy focused
🌎 Multilanguage
🌐Random Quotes

TabX aims to look and feel minimal, while still bringing you lots of options to customise it to your liking. Set your own backgrounds (or Unsplash collections!), enable the beautiful analog clock, set your own font and Quick Links... You can even check out our documentation where we compiled some style snippets to do even more.

The project is entirely open source, developer friendly and actually respects your privacy. We do not collect any data, nor do you need to create an account to use it.

🏞 Dynamic 4K backgrounds
We handpicked some of the most beautiful Unsplash photos so that your new tabs will always feel fresh. Discover high quality photos of incredible landscapes, animals and nature.

⚡️ Fast & lightweight!
TabX is built with vanilla JavaScript and optimised for the best possible performance.

🔎 Search bar
The integrated search bar of TabX is compatible with all search engines. Yes, all of them! That includes the usual Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Startpage as well as others, like Ecosia, Lilo and Qwant. If you want, you can even add you own custom search engine.

🕰 Analog clock
TabX's default clock is made to ressemble what you have on the iPhone and other iOS devices. But if you'd like something more exotic, you can replace it with a very cool analog clock, and customise it as you'd like.

🌤 Weather
In a simple sentence, get a summary of you local current weather and forecast.

🔗 Quick Links
It wouldn't be a real homepage without bookmarks! TabX allows you to add your own bookmarks, change their icons and import your current bookmarks from your browser.

🌘 Dark mode
Just like on iOS, TabX has a beautiful automatic dark mode.

🔒 Privacy focused
Some homepages like Momentum encourage you to create an account, give them some personal info, use more permissions and rely on many third party services. TabX doesn’t collect any data, even for analytics purposes, use minimal permissions, rely on fewer third party services and of course doesn’t have any account system. TabX being open source also means that you can easily check out if our claims are true.

🧑‍💻 Custom CSS styling
Have a specific idea in mind? TabX has you covered with the custom styles section. You can customise and do anything when you add your own CSS.

📝 Custom fonts
Want a specific font on your homepage ? You can easily select it thanks to TabX integreation with Google Fonts.

🌎 Multilanguage
Thanks to our awesome contributors, TabX is available in 15 different languages.

Adamiyevsty (ID: 000000e6b8efb212) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 04/11/2024 This is the most beautiful homepage I've used, very minimal, very practical. The fact you can even change the icons for every single app pinned at the homepage. I used this extension on Chrome and works like a charm, smooth as butter and customisable. I'm rating 4/5 because I recently changed to Opera browser and it seems the browser doesn't support an external homepage. If this browser manages to make this work, promise I won't ever use another homepage again, no cap.
