Looking for a start.me alternative?
start.me is one of the best-known bookmark start pages. You build pages of links and widgets, with a free plan and a PRO plan. It's excellent if your main goal is organising lots of bookmarks. If you'd rather see your day at a glance, OnePane is worth a look.

What OnePane does differently
- One page, not many. Everything you check in the morning fits on one screen, so there's nothing to click through.
- Live information. Weather for several places, combined calendars, unread Outlook mail, RSS headlines and a notes journal you can search.
- Bookmarks that are quick. Your favourite sites as buttons, with the first nine on keys 1–9.
- No ads, ever, and a price that's less than half of start.me PRO.
When start.me is the better pick
If you have hundreds of bookmarks to organise across several pages, or you need a start page for a whole team with shared links, start.me is built for that. OnePane keeps bookmarks simple and puts the focus on your day.
Moving your bookmarks

Questions
Does OnePane have ads?
No. OnePane is paid for by subscriptions at $9.99 a year, so there are no ads and no tracking.
Can I import my start.me bookmarks?
There's no import yet. Add the sites you use most to the Bookmarks widget; the first nine open with keys 1 to 9.
Is OnePane good for teams?
OnePane is made for personal use. Each person has their own page and account.
