Features

  • A new wallpaper every tab

    High-resolution Unsplash photos from a search you pick, with credit to the photographer.

  • Opens instantly

    Photos are downloaded ahead of time in the background, so a new tab never waits on the network.

  • Search with your engines

    Turn on the search engines you use. With just one enabled, the dropdown goes away.

  • Your own quick links

    A grid of circular icons you size yourself. Add, edit and reorder links and set custom icons.

  • Live settings

    Move and resize the search bar and grid, change text sizes and the background dim, and see it update as you go.

  • Private

    Settings stay in your browser and the only requests go to Unsplash. No tracking. Export your setup to move it between devices.
