MONKNOW New Tab - Personal Dashboard — monknow

Overview

MONKNOW is a customizable browser new tab extension that brings your favorite websites, search, wallpapers, weather, and to-do list together in one place. Organize icons and the page appearance your way, then back up and sync your data through an account to restore it on other devices or in other browser environments.

Key features

• Search and quick access
Search directly from a new tab or open your favorite websites quickly with website icons. Choose, arrange, and manage search engines, or add custom search engines.

• Website icons and groups
Keep your favorite websites organized. Create, edit, and arrange icons and groups to find the sites you want to visit quickly. When adding a website, choose an icon from the official icon library, upload a custom image, or, with your permission, find an icon from the website. Choose between Simple and Detailed display modes, and adjust the layout and appearance.

• Bookmark import
Bring existing bookmarks into your new tab. Choose what to import; this feature is available only after you grant permission.

• Appearance and wallpapers
Make your new tab fit your preferences. Choose light, dark, or system theme mode; use official wallpapers, upload local images, set a solid-color background, or configure wallpaper rotation.

• Weather, to-do list, and sidebar
Check weather information and manage your to-do list from the sidebar, and show or hide sidebar content as needed.

• Standby page
Show a standby page when you are away. Customize its clock, weather, background, and other appearance settings.

• Account, backup, and sync
Use MONKNOW as a guest, or create an account or sign in. When signed in, MONKNOW can back up and sync extension data to your account, so you can restore and use it on other devices or in other browser environments.
