# ZeroTabs vs start.me

start.me can turn a page into a broad personal or team dashboard. ZeroTabs is for the familiar things you need every day: Chrome bookmarks, saved tabs, reading, notes, and a little space to focus.

## The ZeroTabs advantage

Get a useful new tab without laying out a dashboard first. ZeroTabs starts with the Chrome bookmarks you already have and adds saved sessions, reading, notes, and focus.

## Why it fits

ZeroTabs is purpose-built for Chrome’s new tab and works locally without requiring an account.

## Is start.me right for you?

start.me is a strong fit when you need RSS, embedded widgets, shared pages, or a dashboard that works across browsers and devices.

ZeroTabs is a better fit when you want your existing Chrome bookmarks, saved tab sessions, a reading queue, notes, and focus tools together in a free new tab.
