Boxento Start.

Big tech walked away from the customizable start page. Boxento Start brings it back — and hands it to you. Turn your new tab into a command center of widgets you arrange, extend, and own. Hosted, or self-host the whole thing.

Beta — solid at the core, with a few rough edges.

The idea

Big tech gave up on start pages. Boxento didn't.

The customizable home of the early web — My Yahoo, iGoogle — done right and put back in your hands.

01
A workspace of widgets

Links, notes, weather, clocks, feeds, and more — arranged exactly how you think, on your first screen.

02
Build your own

Widgets are open source. Tweak the ones you like, or write new ones — an LLM can help you ship one in an afternoon.

03
Yours to keep

Use the hosted app or self-host it entirely. Either way, your data stays on systems you control.
