Minimal-StartPage

No account, no tracking, no build step

A start page that stays out of your way.

Search, a clock, and optional weather, links and AI shortcuts. Everything beyond the search is switched on by you, and nothing leaves the page unless you ask it to.

Choose your level

Quiet by default. Three pages, from bare search to every option.

You start with the one that suits you, and change it whenever you like from the gear in the top right.

Page 1

Minimal

Search, the clock and the colour button. Nothing else.

Page 2

Standard

Adds the date and your links. The default for a new visitor.

Default
Page 3

Advanced

Every option, in groups, with a backup tab for your own data.

Search

Pick your search engine right in the bar.

Each click on the icon moves to the next engine: DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Brave or Google. Your choice is remembered. Under Manage data you can also add up to five AI shortcuts, or your own address.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you do not.

The page is built around a few clear choices.

Your links

Up to fifteen of your own, next to the permanent ones, in a window or a hover list.

Time zones

Up to five, sorted by UTC offset, shown behind a globe next to the date.

Weather, if you want it

Off by default. From your IP address or a city you pick, with a forecast on click.

Backgrounds

Photos, a plain page, or a soft colour. One press on the round button changes it.

Six languages

English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish and Chinese. It follows your browser.

Backup in one file

Export your settings and data to a file, and import it on another device.

Privacy

Private by design.

Your choices live in your browser. Weather sends your IP address to ipapi.co, or the city you choose to Open-Meteo, only while weather is on. Extra places send their name to Open-Meteo. Custom AI shortcuts load their icon from their own site. Nothing else leaves the page.
