What is Live Start Page and what is it for?

Live Start Page is an app for Google Chrome created to replace the standard start page/new page in Chrome with an add-on page.
Here are the main features:


  • Live Wallpaper;
  • To-do List for creating and checking off tasks;
  • Clock featured on the page.

It says here I can purchase a Live Start Page. If I choose not to, will I be able to keep using Live Start Page for free?

Absolutely! If you purchase our Live Start Page Pro plan, you will have more features available, such as synchronization, possibility to change search engine, extended weather forecast and some other ones. At the same time the standard features (live themes, to-do list, speed dial) will remain free and you will be able to use them without any restrictions.
