Extension Metadata

About this extension
Switchboard turns your New Tab page into a calm, keyboard-first home for the links you use every day. Instead of a cluttered bookmark bar, your links live in named tabs, and every one of them is a keystroke away.

• Up to nine named tabs of links, with link groups side by side
• Number keys switch tabs, and any link can have its own shortcut
• Press s to search every link on every tab, or the web when nothing matches
• Launch groups open a set of links at once
• Bring your bookmarks over from this browser or any bookmarks file, and export them back
• Slowly drifting ambient colors, with a choice of calm animated scenes: rising bubbles, an ocean, a mountain lake, the stratosphere, or a bouncing screensaver logo
• Strip the page back to just what you use, down to a lone search bar
• An optional daily check flags links that no longer load

Everything stays on your computer: no account, no sync, no tracking. Every shortcut can be changed, and pressing / shows them all.

Want it without the animated scenes? Switchboard Lite is the same app, lighter and faster to load.
