Tinypad vs Tab Widgets

Tinypad keeps everyday websites on a personal homepage. Tab Widgets turns a browser dashboard into a canvas of bookmarks, live information and integrations.

Choose Tinypad if…

You want the websites you use most, arranged simply. Keep your starting page focused on links instead of choosing and configuring a collection of widgets. You prefer a one-time purchase for lifetime access.

Choose Tab Widgets if…

You want mail, calendars, weather, feeds and other tools on your dashboard. You enjoy choosing widgets and shaping a more extensive workspace. You are comfortable with a recurring subscription.
