Start Page HQ Documentation

Welcome to the Start Page HQ documentation. Here you'll find everything you need to set up, customize, and get the most out of your browser start page.

#Getting Started

Start Page HQ is a customizable browser start page that replaces your default new tab with a powerful, personalized dashboard. Organize your favorite tools, feeds, and information into pages filled with widgets.

#Dashboard

Learn how to work with your dashboard - create and manage pages, add and arrange widgets, and customize the look and feel of your start page.

  • Appearance - Change your accent color, color scheme, wallpaper, widget spacing, and layout
  • Edit Mode - Rearrange widgets, access settings, and add items
  • Pages - Create, edit, reorder, and delete pages
  • Widgets - Add, move, customize, and remove widgets

#Widgets

Start Page HQ includes 63 widgets to choose from - from productivity tools like Tasks, Todo, and Notes, to information feeds like News, Weather, and RSS. Browse the full list in the Widgets section to learn what each one does and how to use it.

#Plans

Signing up is free, and the free plan is a working dashboard rather than a trial. There is no time limit on it.

Free gives you 1 page with up to 8 widgets on it, 55 of the 63 widget types, sync across every device, all browser extensions and the web app, every accent color and color scheme, the curated wallpaper library, preset feed sources, and 50 AI credits to start with.

Paid lifts every one of those limits and adds the parts the free plan leaves out:

  • Unlimited pages, and unlimited widgets on each
  • All 63 widget types, including the 8 that are paid-only
  • File uploads - custom wallpapers, page and widget icons, images, and note attachments
  • Connected accounts - Google Calendar, Google Drive, iCloud, Stripe, and t0ggles
  • Public sharing of a page or a single widget
  • Custom RSS feed URLs, instead of the preset sources
  • A recurring pool of AI credits

Paid plans are $3.99/month, $25/year, or $49 once for lifetime access. AI credit packs can be bought on any plan, including free.

If you cancel, your account is not deleted. It stays readable for 14 days, then moves to the free plan - your first page and your AI credits stay with you.

You can also try everything without an account at all on the demo, which unlocks every widget for evaluation.
