Six pages that share one login

Home, Links, Info, Cards, Tasks and Tools sit behind the same login and bar, with one Settings page for all of them. Every screenshot here is the real app with example data.

Links page with six categories of bookmarks
Links: bookmarks in tabs and categories, with their icons saved on your server.
Info page with notes in boxes
Info: notes in boxes you can size and arrange, or written as one document.
Cards page with a table of example cards
Cards: your cards in one table, with yearly charges added up.
Tasks page grouped by when things are due
Tasks: due dates, repeats and prices, grouped by when they are due.
Tools page with a grid of tools
Tools: image, PDF and text tools that run in your browser.
Settings overview
Settings: where things stand, and what to look at next.
Links page in light mode
Dark is the default. Light mode is one click away, for each browser.

What each page does

Each page does one job. A start page, bookmarks, notes, cards, tasks and a toolbox, all with the same look.

Home

Your start page, with background photos that change and their credit in the corner.

  • Photos get a phone-sized copy, so they load fast.
  • Show it with or without the bar.

  • Tabs can be encrypted with your passphrase.

  • Star favourites and arrange your own sections.
Tools page

Private by design

Your data lives in one folder on your own hosting, closed to browsers. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you set it up.

One login, done properly

Two-step login, recovery codes, trusted browsers, a device list, and logins paused after five wrong tries.

Encrypted where you choose

Encrypted tabs in Links and Info, and encrypted backup files. The keys are made in your browser.

Backups you can restore

One file holds every page. Earlier versions are kept, and Telegram can send backups to your chat.

Updates you can undo

Update from GitHub or with a zip. Each update is checked first, needs your password, and can be undone.

Get started

You need web hosting with PHP 8.3 or newer and a file manager. HTTPS is recommended.

  1. Download

    Get site-update-1.43.1.zip from the latest release.

  2. Upload and extract

    Put the zip in your domain's folder in the file manager, and extract it there.

  3. Create your site

    Open your domain, click the key icon, and enter the setup code from site-data/core/SETUP-CODE.php with a new password.

Full steps, moving a site and recovering a password: Install.
