Description
# Umino — User Guide
Umino is a keyboard-first new tab extension that lets you **search and open your browser bookmarks instantly**.
It is designed to be fast, minimal, and distraction-free.
---
## ✨ Core Concept
- Open a new tab
- Start typing
- Jump directly to a bookmark
All interactions happen locally in your browser, with no network requests.
---
## ⌨️ Basic Usage
### Open Umino
- Open a new tab in Chrome
- The input box is focused automatically
### Search Bookmarks
- Type any keyword
- Results are matched against your bookmark titles and URLs
- Fuzzy matching is supported (partial and out-of-order characters)
### Navigate Results
- `↑ / ↓` — Move selection
- `Enter` — Open selected bookmark
- `Esc` — Clear input and reset state
---
## 🔍 Search Behavior
- Searches are performed **only on browser bookmarks**
- Matching is done locally and instantly
- No search requests are sent outside your device
If no matching bookmark is found, Umino shows an empty state without taking any action.
---
## 🧠 Smart Matching
Umino supports:
- Partial keyword matching
- Abbreviation-style input
- Case-insensitive search
This allows you to reach bookmarks with very few keystrokes.
---
## ⚙️ Settings & Data
- Bookmark data is read directly from Chrome’s bookmark store
- Optional local preferences may be stored using Chrome storage
- No external services are used
---
## 🔐 Privacy
Umino accesses browser bookmarks **only** to provide local search and navigation.
- No bookmark data is collected
- No data is transmitted or shared
- All processing happens entirely on your device
---
## 🧩 What Umino Does NOT Do
- Does not access browsing history
- Does not track user behavior
- Does not display ads
- Does not modify or sync bookmarks
---
## 💡 Tips
- Use short keywords for faster access
- Keep frequently used sites bookmarked for best results
- Umino works best as a lightweight, keyboard-driven launcher
---
## 📦 Version Scope
This guide describes features available in the current released version.
Future versions may introduce additional capabilities, which will be documented separately.
