## Description

Private Speed Dial is a fast, lightweight new-tab page that keeps your data on your device.

Organise shortcuts into tab groups; customise the grid, fonts, colour schemes and animated gradient backgrounds; pick icons from site favicons, your own uploads or letter tiles.

Local widgets: analog/digital clocks for multiple cities, notes, tasks and a calendar with reminders. Optional weather, currency, stocks and gold widgets are off by default and fetch data only after you enable them.

No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts. The core never makes network requests; anything that does is opt-in and asks first.
