Sea room.
Room to make it yours: the picture behind Home and who painted it, your own colour, your own page, and your notes and lists brought in from wherever they live.
Sea room is the space a boat needs to turn without running aground. This issue is about giving you that room: to change what Home looks like, what it shows and who it says hello to, without anything to set up first.
Every painting and photograph behind Home now says who made it, on a small label like the ones beside paintings in a gallery. They're the people who made this beautiful, and it seemed wrong for them to be anywhere but on the wall.
From the Modfare team, in London.
Make Home yours.
One button on Home opens a panel beside it. Choose a painting, a photograph or a picture of your own for behind it all, and switch Today, Notes, To do, Music and your feed on or off. Everything stays on this computer.
Real icons, and who made the picture.
Your sites show their own icons from the very first minute, and the picture behind Home is credited where you see it. One search box, too: type a word to search, a website to go there, or the name of one of your sites to open it.
Five choices, not seven.
The first question is shorter: everyday life, school, making things, work, or keeping things calm. The two kinds of work are one choice now, and the preview shows the real sites you'll get.
And the smaller things.
- Your page, with you on it. Your own photo and banner, and how you are: around, away or do not disturb, with a few words. Do not disturb really does silence sites' notifications.
- Your calendars, your notes, your lists. Today can show the calendars on your Mac, iCloud, Google and Outlook alike. Notes and To do bring things in from Apple Notes, Reminders or any file.
- A colour of your own. Under Everything, Make it yours: Modfare's frame in your colour, and crisp, soft or round corners.
- Ads out of social feeds. Sponsored and promoted posts hidden on Google, Reddit, X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest and TikTok, for everyone who chose Adverts.
- Every change says so. Switch a change on, keep one or take one off, and the bar says what happened, with Undo. On here stickers turn a change off when you click them.
- Cookie questions stay yours. Pointing at one explains that hiding it doesn't answer it, and lets you hide it anyway.
And a good deal more. Every change is on GitHub.
