About Bento

Bento is an open source browser start page that can be used as a homepage or new tab. It is set up by editing a configuration file (config.js) and can be hosted through GitHub Pages or run in a Docker container.

The start page has three layouts: bento, lists, and buttons. Users can set their name, greetings, and an optional image background, choose a 12-hour or 24-hour clock, and toggle dark or light mode, which is saved in local storage. Buttons and link lists take icons from the Lucide icon library. Setting Bento as a new tab in Firefox or Chromium-based browsers requires a separate add-on or extension.
