## Description

Turn your New Tab into a powerful, private desktop. Anchor brings your bookmarks, calendar, and tasks into a single, high-performance dashboard designed for focus. No ads, no tracking, just a better way to browse.

Designed for Flow Stop digging through browser settings or multiple tabs just to see your schedule. Anchor organizes your digital life in a layout that actually works for you:

Smart Widgets: View your upcoming meetings and manage your to-do list via interactive widgets directly on your start page.

Context Switching: Create distinct workspaces for "Work," "Side Projects," or "Personal" browsing. Switch contexts instantly to reduce mental clutter.

Total Customization: Build your perfect layout with flexible, multi-column grids. Drag, drop, and style your dashboard to match your aesthetic.

Save As You Surf: Found something interesting? Save it to your Anchor desktop instantly without leaving your current tab.

Cloud Sync: Your setup is securely backed up and available on any computer, instantly.

Privacy-First & User Funded Most start pages are free because they sell your browsing data. Anchor is different.

You are the customer, not the product. We are 100% user-funded.

Zero Ads & Zero Tracking: We never sell your data to third parties.

Transparent Pricing: Anchor costs just $19/year to keep the servers running and the development active.
