Make every tab
a jumpstart.

Jumpstart turns the blank new-tab page into a beautiful, modular dashboard — and pairs it with a streamlined search companion. Two extensions, one seamless start to everything you do online.

Why Jumpstart

Everything you need, the moment a tab opens

Modular by design — switch every block on or off and make the dashboard yours.

Instant search

A front-and-center search bar wired straight into your browser's default engine. Type, hit enter, gone.

Quick links

Your most-visited sites, one click away — auto-filled from your top sites or fully hand-picked.

Live weather

Local conditions at a glance, powered by Open-Meteo. Location is optional and stays on your device.

Daily quotes

A fresh dose of inspiration every day — the right words before you dive into work.

Focus list

A lightweight to-do that lives where you'll actually see it: on every new tab you open.

Jumpstart Runner

A built-in mini-game for the moments between meetings. Beat your high score, then get back to it.

Designed to be lived in

Dark or light — always gorgeous

Glassmorphism, an animated aurora background and a layout that adapts to you. This page uses the same two themes — try the toggle up top.

Better together

Perfectly complementary

Why two extensions? Chrome's single-purpose policy means each extension does exactly one thing — so we built two that complete each other.

The dashboard

Jumpstart Newtab gives you the canvas: search bar, shortcuts, weather and focus tools on every new tab. Its search bar simply uses whatever default engine your browser already has.

The engine

Jumpstart Search supplies the power: it sets your browser's default search engine so every query — from the dashboard or the address bar — gets fast, relevant answers.

The result

Together they form a complete start page: a gorgeous launchpad in front, a streamlined search experience behind it. Independent by design — each works great on its own, too.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Are the extensions free?
Yes — both Jumpstart Newtab and Jumpstart Search are completely free. No account, no subscription, no hidden tiers.
Do I need both extensions?
No. Each works perfectly on its own. Jumpstart Newtab uses whatever default search engine your browser already has, and Jumpstart Search works with any new-tab page. They're simply better together.
Why are they two separate extensions?
The Chrome Web Store's single-purpose policy requires every extension to do one thing. A new-tab dashboard and a default-search-engine change are two different purposes, so they ship separately — and you stay in control of exactly what's installed.
What data do you collect?
Jumpstart Newtab stores your settings locally in your browser. Weather uses your location only if you allow it, and it never leaves your device except to fetch the forecast. Jumpstart Search registers the search provider and nothing more — no browsing access. Details in our Privacy Policy.
Can I customize the dashboard?
Absolutely. Every module — search, quick links, weather, quotes, focus list, even the Runner mini-game — can be switched on or off, and you can choose between light and dark themes.
