Overview

🔖 Quick Access – A Smarter Speed Dial
Save links, notes, color codes, or anything else that's part of your workflow. Simple input, instant save — so you never lose context.

📁 Bookmark Manager – But Actually Useful
You keep bookmarking like always — we handle the organization. Headstart gives your existing bookmarks structure, clarity, and instant access. No new habits required.

🔌 Integrations – Your Whole Stack, One Tab
Connect the tools you already live in. Headstart brings in live data from across your workflow so you stop context-switching and start actually working.
- GitHub – See open PRs, review statuses, and pending work at a glance. Know what needs your attention without opening a single extra tab.
- Linear – Your active issues and in-progress work, surfaced right where you start your day. Create issues without leaving your tab.
- Jira – Stay on top of your sprint without drowning in Jira's interface. See what's assigned, what's blocked, and what's due.
- Notion – Access your workspace, recent pages, and quick notes without the load time.
- Figma – Pin your active files and jump straight into designs. No hunting through recent files or shared links.
- Google Calendar – See today's schedule and upcoming events at a glance. Join Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams calls with one click — no digging through emails for links.
No duct tape, no Zapier. Just connect once and it works.

⌘ Command Panel – Everything, Instantly
Hit Cmd+K (or Ctrl+K) and the command panel opens. Search your bookmarks, jump to a tool, navigate to a GitHub PR, find a Notion page, or trigger any action in Headstart — all without touching your mouse.
It's the fastest way to move. Stop clicking through menus and start commanding your workflow.

🧰 Built-in Tools – No More Tab Hunting
Need a timestamp converter? UUID generator? Color picker? Instead of jumping to random ad-filled sites, use beautifully integrated, native tools — consistent with your setup and always a click away.
Less context-switching, more doing.

💻 Console – Like DevTools, but Built for Flow
Think JSFiddle or CodePen, but native to your new tab. Inspired by the simplicity of DevTools and the quick-hit nature of jsconsole.com, Headstart's built-in playground lets you prototype code in seconds — right in your browser.

Write. Run. Tweak. Repeat.
It compiles your JavaScript (with WASM under the hood), supports NPM packages, and executes everything safely inside a sandbox environment. Whether you're debugging a tricky lodash chain or testing out a new date format, it's the fastest way to experiment — without leaving your setup.

✏️ Notes – Capture Without Friction

Jot down a thought, paste a snippet, or draft something quick. Notes live right in your new tab — no app to open, no context to lose.

🎨 Make It Yours

Choose a wallpaper, switch themes, or go minimal. Headstart stays out of your way and looks good doing it.
