Release Notes

Website Sub-Categories

Your website categories can now have sub-categories. Add a second level under any category (think Work → Clients, Shop → Groceries) and a connected sub-tab row appears right below the main toolbar. Create them from the Category Manager or by right-clicking a category tab, and rename or remove them anytime.

Renaming got a full upgrade too: rename any category or sub-category from the manager, the toolbar, or the right-click menu, and every category, including the built-in defaults, can now be removed.

"/" Jumps to Search

Press / anywhere on the homepage to jump straight to the search bar, just like on many of your favorite sites. There's also a new setting to choose whether the search bar is focused automatically when the page loads. Both can be toggled in the side drawer, and all the homepage shortcuts are now listed on the help page.

"Homepage Shortcuts" Badge

Fixed the "Homepage Shortcuts" badge. Now, when you dismiss any announcement badge, it will permanently be removed.

All-New Clock Menu Try it!

I personally have a caribbean blue analog clock with a beach image for my homepage. What can you come up with?

Access the clock styling by right-clicking. And for a quick color swap, simply left click on the clock itself.

Support AI Agent

Got a question? The new AI support agent is ready to help around the clock. Ask it anything about using the site and get an instant, helpful answer, no waiting and no digging through help pages.

Preview Mode for Backgrounds

See before you set. When browsing backgrounds, the new preview mode shows each one full-screen on your actual homepage before you commit, so you can find the perfect look without guessing from a thumbnail.

Menus Open 3× Faster

The menus you use most, Useful Tools, AI Chat, Travel, and more, now open about three times faster. Tap and they're there, with snappier, more responsive panels across the whole site.

Add, Remove & Edit Any Category

The all-new Website Category Manager puts you in full control of your homepage toolbar. Hide the default categories you don't use, restore them whenever you'd like, or build your own custom categories from scratch, then drag to reorder them into whatever arrangement works best for you.

Drag Sites Into Their Own Categories

While in rearrange mode, you can now drag any website directly onto a category tab in the toolbar to instantly assign it. No more digging into each site's settings just to move it. Reorganizing your homepage finally feels as fast as it should.

More Accurate Stock Charts

Type-to-Filter Sites

Start typing on the homepage to instantly filter your websites by name. Type "Y" and only sites like Yahoo and YouTube remain. Press Enter to open the first match, or Escape to clear. The filter resets automatically after 2.5 seconds of inactivity.
