Saving your work
Use Save menu config to keep a copy you can reopen later. Exported start pages also include an embedded menu config so they can be reloaded more reliably, but a saved menu config is still the best editable backup.
Help and notes
The builder runs in your browser. It creates a standalone start page and a menu config file you can open again later.
Using the start page
Use Save start page to create the standalone page you can open locally, set as your browser homepage, or publish online.
Layout and style
Choose 2–5 columns for wider screens, pick Primary or Pastel colours, and show or hide the page title beside search. On phones and small tablets, the exported page stacks neatly into one column.
Privacy
Your links are edited locally in your browser. This static GitHub Pages site does not need an account or upload your menu to a server.
Open existing work
Use Load menu config to import your menu config JSON, a friendly template JSON, or an older builder config.
Examples
Open the UK, US, Workplace and jump-start examples on the templates page to see real exported start pages.
Import/list formats
The builder can import menu config JSON, friendly template JSON, Markdown, CSV, and plain text. You can also paste a list from AI directly into the builder. If the pasted text includes START OF LIST and END OF LIST markers, the builder imports only the marked block.
