Trust & Transparency

An indie bookmarks manager focused on simplicity

Tabsly is an indie-developed start page designed for users who value simplicity, lightweight speed, and complete ownership of their data. It operates entirely on your browser, does not implement cloud sync servers, and stores zero data about your links on external platforms.

Because there is no automatic cloud sync, you have complete control over your data. Creating a regular manual backup file ensures that you never lose your visual bookmarks, even if you clear your browser history or reset your device.

This is a local-first utility built specifically for QA, developers, designers, students, and power users who want a clean browser start page without overhead or corporate tracking.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Tabsly works as a bookmark manager without account creation. You can use it instantly without any sign-up sheets or personal details.

Where are my bookmarks stored?

Your bookmarks are saved directly in your browser's local storage. Your data remains entirely on your device and is not shared with any servers.

Does Tabsly use cloud sync?

No. Tabsly does not use cloud sync. All your bookmark groups and settings are stored locally on your device. You can manually transfer them to another device by exporting a backup file.

How do I make a backup?

Navigate to the settings inside Tabsly and click "Save backup". You can download the backup file to your computer or phone. To restore your data, simply use the "Load backup" button and choose the file.

Can I move my bookmarks to another browser?

Yes. Since you control your data via backup files, you can save a manual backup file in one browser, send the file to your other device or browser, and load it in Tabsly there.

Is Tabsly an extension or a website?

Tabsly is a static web application. It functions as an offline start page that you can open in any browser. You do not need to install browser extensions or modify browser permissions to use it.

Does Tabsly work offline?

Yes. Tabsly is fully capable of running as an offline start page. Your visual bookmarks, groups, and search index work without any internet access, though you will need an active connection to visit the saved websites.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Because your visual bookmarks are stored locally, clearing your browser history or deleting site storage could clear your bookmarks. We strongly recommend exporting a manual backup file regularly to ensure you do not lose your links.
