Troubleshooting

My websites disappeared. Where did they go?

If some or all of your websites go missing, it's very likely due to one of these reasons:

Multiple Accounts / Logins Most Common

Be sure you are signing in with the same email/login each time. If you switch browser profiles, make sure the actual email is the same.

If you need me to remove an account for you, send me a ticket in support.

Google Sign-in VS Email Sign-in

You signed in with Google instead of your normal email. This can happen if you click the "Sign in with Google" pop-up.

Fix: Sign out, then sign back in with your email address.

Not Signed-In

Make sure you login before adding sites. If you don't, the websites you add will only be temporary.

My webpages appear vertical and too long

As of December 2025, the website area has widened, so this issue should mostly be resolved.

If still experiencing this, go to:

Settings → Websites → Size

Update the size to "Compact" and your site should now fit your entire homepage.

Customization

How do I customize my homepage?

Once you are logged in, click the settings button at the top right portion of the homepage. You can then choose to show or hide any of the many features that appear by default.

How do I add a custom background?

You have two ways to personalize your homepage background:

Upload Your Own
  • Use any image from your device
  • Supports JPG, PNG, WebP
  • Instant upload

  • Describe your ideal background
  • AI generates unique 4K images
  • First 6 creations are free
Can I remove websites from my homepage?

Just right-click on a website, then choose "Remove Site".

NOTE: If you cannot remove a website, then it is placed there by the webmaster as an affiliate link and may not be removed. It's all I ask for using the homepage for free.

Can I rearrange my websites?

Yes. Right-click any of your websites to pull up the website context menu, select option to rearrange sites.

You can then drag and re-position your websites. Tap the green save button.

How do I reset my password?

Reset your homepage password one of two ways:

Login page

Go to login page and click Forgot Password. Enter your email and follow the prompts. Check your junk/spam mail.

My Account Menu

If you are logged in, you can update your password within your account menu.

What if I share my computer?

If you share the homepage on a desktop computer with others in your family (which I do), I recommend using multiple web browsers or browser logins.

Each browser will remember your unique ID, which will in turn remember your own personal websites, settings, and background.

For Google Chrome, you can choose to have a separate login for your browser (pictured here).
