MyFaves: your personal start page, made shareable.
Browser bookmarks lost the plot somewhere around 2015. We built MyFaves because we wanted a start page that was actually ours — visual, ordered, shareable with the team, and not held hostage by a browser vendor.
- Product: Personal start page with bookmarks, tools, and dashboards in one tidy place
- Built for: Individuals, small teams, anyone who lives in the browser and wants a home base that isn't a SaaS heavyweight
- Origin: Started as Stacksy's internal "favourites" tool. Forked into a multi-tenant SaaS.
- Live at: myfaves.io
The problem with bookmarks in 2026
Browser bookmarks were designed for a web with 20 sites. They're still designed that way. If you live in the browser — most knowledge workers do — your bookmark bar is either chronically overflowing or chronically out-of-date.
The alternative was supposed to be bookmarking services. Pocket, Raindrop, Pinboard. These are good products. They're also read-it-later tools, which is a different problem from "what's my home base when I open the browser?"
What you actually want as a knowledge worker is a personal start page: the 30-50 things you reach for most often, visually arranged, fast to access, with the ability to share a subset with your team. None of the existing tools quite did this.
The internal version, then the SaaS
MyFaves started life as Stacksy's internal tool. Every team member got a password-protected page with their bookmarks and team-shared resources. We used it daily. It saved us time. We kept refining it.
Eventually we realised: lots of other small teams had the same problem we did, and the existing tools didn't fit them either. So we forked the internal tool into a multi-tenant SaaS, polished the UX for non-Stacksy users, and made it available at myfaves.io.
The internal-tool-becomes-SaaS pattern is something we do deliberately. We don't build SaaS by guessing what the market wants. We build tools we use ourselves, then commercialise the ones that turn out to solve a wider problem.
What MyFaves does
- Personal start page — visually arranged bookmarks, grouped by category, with icons
- Password protected — your start page is yours, not a public profile
- Shareable with teams — invite your team to share a sub-page (the "team faves") while keeping personal pages personal
- Multiple pages per user — work bookmarks, personal bookmarks, client-X bookmarks, all separate
- Hosted — works the same on every device, no syncing nightmares
- Fast — page loads instantly. This is your start page; it can't feel heavy.
- Custom themes — light, dark, brand colours. It's yours; look how you want.
The design principles
- Minimal, not minimalist. Enough features to be genuinely useful. Not so many it becomes a Notion competitor.
- Fast above all. A start page that takes 2 seconds to load isn't a start page.
- Privacy by default. Password protected from day one. We don't track what you bookmark.
- Team-friendly without being team-mandatory. Solo users get the full value. Teams get more without paying enterprise tier prices.
- Yours, not ours. Export your bookmarks any time. We're not a roach motel.
Who uses MyFaves
- Knowledge workers wanting a fast, visual home base
- Small teams needing shared resources without spinning up Notion or Confluence
- Consultants and contractors juggling multiple client contexts, each with their own bookmark set
- Agencies managing different campaigns or accounts with different toolsets
- Anyone who looked at their browser's bookmark bar with despair
What this tells you about how Stacksy works
MyFaves is the cleanest example of our internal-tool-becomes-SaaS pattern. We don't build software by hypothesis. We build it because we needed it. Then if the problem turns out to be common, we share the solution.
If you're inside an organisation and someone said "this is the tool we wish existed" — and you can describe it specifically — that conversation has real product potential. The Discovery Program is the cheapest way to test it.
