## Description

Pixel Start replaces your default new tab page with a customizable, pixel-inspired dashboard built for focus and efficiency.

The interface features modular widgets including:

• Live clock and date display
• Weather overview
• Search bar
• Quick access link categories
• Simple todo list
• Silly fun widgets!

The layout is grid-based and visually inspired by terminal and retro UI aesthetics, while remaining clean and distraction-free.

Pixel Start does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. All functionality runs locally within the browser.

Designed for users who want a minimalist, information-dense start page instead of the default new tab experience.
