About this extension

StartGrid replaces your browser's blank new tab page with a customizable grid of widgets, set against a background of your choice.

Widget grid — freely arrange Clock, Weather, Notes, Bookmarks, Quicklinks, Rain Radar, and more on your new tab page
Backgrounds — solid colors, gradients, custom images, or live photos from Unsplash, Bing, NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, and Wikimedia
Calendar, Mail & Tasks — optional Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Outlook Mail, and Google Tasks widgets connect via Google/Microsoft sign-in to show your upcoming events (including multiple calendars, not just your default one) and unread mail. Only the data needed to display it is fetched; nothing is stored on a StartGrid server
Google Mail — an optional widget showing your unread Gmail inbox, without Google sign-in: it uses the Gmail session already open in your browser, via a separate optional permission you grant in the widget's settings
Everything is configured and stored locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a StartGrid-run server
Optional permission for 127.0.0.1 is used solely by the optional Obsidian widgets to connect to your local Obsidian desktop app. No vault data ever leaves your device
Optional permission for mail.google.com is used solely by the Google Mail widget described above, to read your inbox directly from your browser to Gmail. No mail data is sent to or stored on a StartGrid server
Rain Radar — live precipitation radar for your location, powered by RainViewer, with scrubbing/playback
