Yako
A beautiful browser start page for Microsoft users & admins
Yako is a new-tab page built specifically for Microsoft users and admins. Unlike generic start pages, Yako combines a calm, distraction-free workspace with instant access to 900+ Microsoft portals, blades, and admin centers. It includes searchable MSPortals.io, cmd.ms shortcuts for keyboard-first navigation, Microsoft Cloud Logos for recognizable app icons, notes, clocks, custom backgrounds, and pinned Microsoft apps. It is free, open source, requires no account, and collects no data.
I built Yako because I was tired of opening a new tab and immediately being pulled into ads, news, clickbait, and random distractions.
I wanted something calmer: a start page that helped me get to work instead of stealing my attention.
Yako replaces that noise with a clean workspace for Microsoft users and admins, with quick access to the portals, apps, notes, clocks, and shortcuts I use every day.
Curious to hear how others handle new tab clutter.
