Release Notes

Huge Shopping Section Update

Add the birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions that matter to your friends and family, and let your homepage remember them for you. No more forgetting birthdays or special events.

Search the Background Gallery

With so many more images to browse, there's now a search field right at the top of the HD Backgrounds menu. Type what you're after — "beach", "mountains", "space", "blue" — and the gallery instantly narrows to matching wallpapers, so you can go straight to the look you want instead of scrolling.

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!

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
