Bookmarks, notes and browser tools in one start page.
RStartpage turns Chrome's New Tab into a customizable workspace built around your existing bookmarks, with notes, saved sessions, link maintenance, portable backups and optional proxy routing.
Free to install from GitHub. No account, ads, analytics or developer-operated backend.
Current capabilities
Your everyday browser workspace, kept in one place.
Global Quick Access
Pin important bookmarks from any section into one shared block, so the links you use most stay together.
Notes
Create notes from selected text, the current tab or a bookmark. Use groups, tags and search, and choose individual notes for Chrome Sync.
Sessions
Save windows with tab order and pinned state, then restore them in a new window, add them here or replace the current window.
Link maintenance
Find duplicate URLs, edit results inline and check links for HTTP errors, timeouts and unavailable destinations.
Proxy profiles
Switch between HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 profiles with optional authentication, bypass masks and latency tests.
Smart routing
Route matching domains, IPs or URL patterns through DIRECT or a selected profile using ordered Smart Proxy Rules.
Data archives
Export selected sections to ZIP, preview an import, then merge or replace links, notes, proxies, sessions, settings and wallpaper.
Personalization
Choose light, dark or system appearance, accent colors, a custom title and favicon, plus the default or your own wallpaper.
Install
Install from GitHub in a few minutes.

Privacy
Local-first by design.
RStartpage does not operate its own account system, analytics service or backend. Bookmarks remain Chrome Bookmarks; notes and sessions stay local by default. Data reaches Chrome Sync, a local archive, Google Drive or your chosen proxy only when you enable the corresponding feature.
