About

Essentials puts the websites you actually use behind a single toolbar button, like a Dock for your browser. Click the icon and your sites are right there in a clean grid. One click to everything you use most, no more digging through bookmarks or hunting across a wall of tabs.

ORGANIZE WITH SPACES
Group your sites into color-coded spaces (Personal, Work, Side Project) and switch between them with a keystroke. Each space has its own name, two-letter label, and color.

FAST BY DESIGN
- A toolbar grid sized to your workflow, with the rows and columns you choose
- Real keyboard shortcuts to open any site or toggle the popup
- Add the current tab in one click, right-click any link to add it, or drag tiles to reorder
- Click a tile to jump straight to that site's open tab, or open it fresh

SYNCS ACROSS YOUR DEVICES
Turn on sync and your essentials follow you to every device where you are signed in to your browser account. Sync runs through your browser's own built-in sync. We never see your data.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
No analytics, no tracking, no accounts to create, and no servers of ours (we run none). Your essentials stay on your device and, if you turn on sync, in your browser account. Essentials does not read the content of the pages you browse.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Start with a 14-day free trial, every feature unlocked. After the trial, buy once ($4.99) and keep it forever. You get a license key at checkout; enter it once in the extension and you are set. No subscription, ever.
