Would work great if

Every time I try and delete a saved tab doesn’t work. Had to delete the app every time I wanted to remove a pinned website.
The program also crashes if I try and open several new tabs in one go. I might as well do without the app in its current state unfortunately :(
Wish it could also pin my existing favourites list, or be able to import them all in, that would be very useful
Hope one day this gets fixed, but till then, 1 star unfortunately

Hi Tnahdifndhdud, You can check that you are using the latest iOS 26 and the latest Home Tab for Safari extension version. Please let me know if you need any further assistance, I am happy to help you at https://www.stefanvd.net/support Thanks,

Exactly what I wanted

With no real way to see what time it is whilst browsing I’ve tried a few things and this actually WORKS. It’s got loads of customisation options and once I figured out how to get it started in Safari (Safari > Preferences) it works great. Thank you.

Doesn’t work. At all. Tried all troubleshooting.

Using latest macOS Sonoma. The new start page flat out doesn’t appear. Apple won’t let me refund and I’m not a happy customer now.

Response from developer

Hi mohrbius, If you install this for the first time on your Mac computer, open your Safari web browser, and navigate in the Apple menubar to Safari -> Settings. And open the Extensions tab. Check if you have enabled the "Home Tab for Safari" checkbox. Then, when you open a new tab, it should show this new tab. Please let me know if you need any further assistance, I am happy to help you at https://www.stefanvd.net/support Thanks,
