Hyper Launcher

A powerful, ADHD-friendly app launcher with clean design and intelligent organization

Transform Your New Tab Into a Beautiful, Organized Bookmark Launcher Hyper Launcher replaces Chrome's new tab page with a clean, visual bookmark manager designed for people who save dozens (or hundreds) of links and want instant access to them without the chaos. Why Hyper Launcher? You're drowning in bookmarks. Chrome's default bookmark manager is a cluttered folder tree that makes finding anything a chore. You have browser tabs open for days because closing them means losing track of important links. Your "read later" list keeps growing but you never actually read them. Hyper Launcher fixes this! Every time you open a new tab, you see your most important bookmarks in a beautiful, organized grid—no digging through folders, no endless scrolling, just instant access to the sites you actually use. What Makes It Different? **Sickbay - Your "Read Later" Space** The killer feature: a separate area for temporary bookmarks. - Save articles, videos, or links you want to check later without cluttering your main launcher - Keep your primary workspace clean and focused on frequently-used sites - Move items back to main when they become important, or clear them when you're done Perfect for: People with ADHD, researchers, students, or anyone who saves "read later" links that pile up forever. **Three View Modes for How You Think** • Grid View - Classic tiles with icons and titles. Great for visual recognition. • Thumbnail View - Compact square icons only. Fits 2-3x more bookmarks on screen. Titles appear on hover. • List View - Full-width rows. Perfect for reading titles at a glance. • Plus: Three grid sizes (Compact, Comfortable, Roomy) so you can fit exactly as many bookmarks as you want on screen. **Edit Everything (New in v3.3)** Made a typo? URL changed?

For now, use the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature or import from a JSON file if you're migrating from another bookmark manager. Q: Will this sync across my devices? A: Currently, no. Each device has its own local bookmarks. Chrome Sync integration is a planned future feature. Q: Can I export my bookmarks? A: Yes! Click Settings → Export Data to download a JSON backup file anytime. Q: Does this work on mobile? A: No, Chrome extensions only work on desktop Chrome/Edge/Brave browsers. Q: What happens if I uninstall? A: Your data is stored locally. Uninstalling removes all bookmarks. Export your data first if you want to keep it. Q: Can I organize bookmarks into folders? A: Not yet. Currently, the organization is visual (drag to reorder) and spatial (Main vs Sickbay). Folders/categories are planned for a future version. **Recent Updates** v3.3.5 (December 2025) - Current version - Bug fixes for decimal ID imports - Modal z-index improvements - Empty state centering fixes - Production-ready console cleanup v3.3.0 (November 2025) - Major feature release - Edit bookmark metadata with automatic favicon refresh - Import mode selection (Replace All or Merge) - Import validation with detailed error reporting v3.2.0 (October 2025) - Initial public release - Core features: Dual storage, multiple views, Sickbay - ADHD-friendly design principles - Privacy-first architecture **Why Users Love It** • A bookmark manager that makes sense - Tired of Chrome's messy folder system • The Sickbay feature - Separate your 'read later' from your daily tools • Clean, fast, and respects privacy - No tracking, no account, no BS • Perfect for the ADHD brain - Visual organization reduces overwhelm **Technical Details** - Manifest Version: V3 (latest Chrome standard) - Permissions:Storage, tabs, activeTab, contextMenus, notifications, alarms (all explained in privacy policy) - Platform: Chrome, Edge, Brave (any Chromium-based browser) - Size: ~91KB (lightweight, fast loading) - Open Source: Code available for review on GitHub **Support & Feedback** - Issues?
