Surfer (Cloudron Surfer app)
Minimal offline-capable personal start page and bookmark launcher
Surfer is a lightweight personal start page designed to act as a simple launcher for your most-used links and web apps. It focuses on a minimal interface that loads fast and continues to work even when connectivity is limited.
Key Features
- Start page dashboard for organizing and launching links
- Simple, minimal UI optimized for fast loading
- Offline-capable behavior for previously loaded content
- Suitable for packaging and deployment as a self-hosted web app
Use Cases
- Personal homelab start page to launch commonly used internal services
- Team or family “homepage” with curated frequently used links
- A lightweight default landing page for a self-hosted environment
Limitations and Considerations
- Feature scope is intentionally minimal compared to full portal/homepage dashboards
- Primarily focused on link launching rather than deep integrations or widgets
Surfer fits users who want a clean, dependable start page without complex configuration. It is especially useful as a small, low-maintenance landing page for self-hosted service collections.
