Your new tab
Your favorite Microsoft apps, front and center
Replace your browser's cluttered new tab with a clean, beautiful start page. Pin shortcuts to Outlook, OneDrive, Copilot, Loop, To Do, and any app you use daily.
Add portals
Right-click. Search. Add. Done.
Right-click anywhere on your new tab page and browse 900+ Microsoft portals, blades, and admin centers. Search by name, pick the ones you need, and they appear on your start page instantly.
No more clutter
Take back your new tab from clickbait and ads
Edge and Chrome fill your new tab with sponsored content, clickbait news, and ads you never asked for. Worse, they make it nearly impossible to set a custom page. Yako replaces all of that with a clean start page you actually control.

“Yako turns my new tab into a real productivity tool. Every Microsoft portal I need is just a keystroke away.”
A happy Microsoft admin
Built on Bonjourr
Yako is a fork of Bonjourr, a beautiful open source new tab extension created by Victor Azevedo and Tahoe Beetschen. We built on their excellent foundation to add Microsoft portal search, catalog integration, and admin-focused features.
Bonjourr is a fantastic project on its own. If you don't need the Microsoft-specific features like portal search, MSPortals.io and cmd.ms views, we recommend using Bonjourr directly as a beautiful, minimalist start page. If you enjoy Yako, please consider supporting the original Bonjourr project too — star their repo, contribute code, or spread the word.
🦘 Aussie powered
Yako is built on the shoulders of two brilliant Australian open source projects.
MSPortals.io
Thanks to the collaboration with Adam Fowler, the full MSPortals.io directory is available right inside the extension as a new tab view.
