Your links and notes, on any computer.
The first tab of every browser.
Sign in from any machine and your shortcuts, folders, and notes are already there. No extension to install, no sync to set up, no hunting through someone’s bookmarks bar.

Every view, rendered live — not a screenshot.
Home is what you choose to show.
Pin the handful of things you actually reach for. Everything else stays one tap away in a folder.
Open FirstTab on a projector and the room sees your pinned tiles — not your inbox, not your grading spreadsheet, not the tab you forgot about.
Notes that keep their place.
Keep a checklist, a syllabus outline, a packing list. Tick items off on one computer and they’re ticked on the next.
Notes live beside your links instead of in a separate app you have to remember to open.

Share a folder, not a file.
Invite someone to a folder as a viewer or an editor. Editors add and change things; viewers just see them.
Everyone gets the current version — there’s no attachment to re-send when something changes, and you can see what changed and who changed it.
Quiet by default.
Light or dark, following your system — try the switch up in the corner. Installable as an app on a phone or a desktop. Search stays collapsed behind an icon, because this is about your links, not about search.
Questions.
Is FirstTab free?
Yes. There’s no paid tier today. If that ever changes, existing accounts get notice first.
Do I need to install anything?
No — it’s a website. You can also install it as an app from your browser’s menu if you’d rather it live on your dock or home screen.
Does it replace my browser’s new tab page?
Not automatically — that takes an extension, and there isn’t one yet. Most people bookmark firsttab.com or set it as their homepage.
Can I bring my existing bookmarks in?
Yes. Paste a list, or import a bookmarks file exported from your browser.
Who can see my links?
Only you, unless you share a folder with someone. See the Privacy Policy.
Can I get my data out?
Yes, any time, as a JSON file from the profile panel. No export lock-in.
