Quick start

If you are setting up ReadyTab for the first time, this is the shortest path to a usable dashboard.

Before you start

Install and enable

• Install ReadyTab in your browser
• Make sure the extension is enabled
• Your browser may warn that an extension changed your new tab page — keep this change so ReadyTab can load as your start page
• Open a new tab to confirm ReadyTab loads
• If another extension replaces the new tab page, disable that conflict first

Good default expectation

• Your first space may be empty
• You can start with a group, bookmarks, or suggestions
• Settings, search, and spaces can all be adjusted later
• Most advanced features remain optional until you need them

First run, step by step

1. Open a new tab. ReadyTab loads as the new tab page.
2. If your current space is empty, use the onboarding actions to + Add Group, Import Bookmarks, or Start with Suggestions.
3. Add your first items inside that group, such as links, headers, text blocks, clipboard items, or launchers.
4. Open Settings to configure search, appearance, backgrounds, spaces, data import and export, session recovery, and optional Pro features.
5. Use Ctrl + Space or / to open Spotlight search and jump to saved links quickly.

Good first setup

Create one group for daily links, one group for tools, and one group for work or project shortcuts.

Common first tasks

Create your first group

1. Click + Add Group
2. Name the group
3. Add your first links or items inside it

Create a second space

1. Open Settings → Spaces
2. Create or import another space
3. Use it for a separate context like work or personal

Import bookmarks

1. Open Settings → Data
2. Choose a bookmark folder
3. Import it as a new group

Import a workspace

If you already have a ReadyTab backup or a workspace from another device:

1. Open Settings → Data
2. Use Import JSON and choose your backup file
3. Your spaces and groups are restored

Fresh ReadyTab workspace ready for the first setup steps.
