Launchy — a self-hosted start page with bookmarks, RSS, AI chat, weather, themes & more
Hey r/startpages! Sharing my start page project — Launchy.
I wanted something that goes beyond a static grid of links: a real daily-driver homepage with widgets, but fully self-hosted so my data stays mine.
What's on the page
- Bookmarks — pages, columns, widgets, full drag & drop. Icon picker with 5 modes (auto favicon, 300+ icon library with search, emoji, upload, custom URL).
- RSS reader — multiple feeds per widget, featured article display, image extraction
- AI chat — pick your provider (Mistral, OpenAI, Anthropic), conversation history, API keys proxied server-side
- Weather — animated SVG icons, hourly + 5-day forecast (wttr.in, no API key)
- Clock — timezone support, 12/24h
- Search bar — Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, or custom engine
- Notes — auto-saving notepad
- Embed — iframe any URL as a widget
Look & feel
Dark/light toggle, custom accent color, background image with adjustable opacity. Font is Nunito. The UI aims for a clean, premium feel — screenshots below.
Practical stuff
- Multi-user with JWT auth
- Share pages read-only with others or via public link
- Import/export: Netscape HTML bookmarks + OPML for RSS
- Browser extensions for Firefox + Chromium (add bookmarks from any page)
- Choose to open links in new tab or same page
- Single Docker container, single SQLite file — backup = copy one file

Would love to hear what you think — especially about the layout and what widgets you'd want to see next!
