How to Install Mission Control and Find Its Support Pages

Updated

Mission Control is a Chrome extension that replaces your New Tab page with a dashboard for tasks and bookmarks. To install it, open mission-control.app and use the Add to Chrome button on the page; the site states the extension is free to add. For help or source information, the site links to Contact and GitHub pages in its navigation.

Install Mission Control

  1. Open mission-control.app in your Chrome browser.
  2. Select Add to Chrome (the site also repeats this button in its closing "Get started today" section).
  3. Confirm the installation when Chrome prompts you.
  4. Open a new tab. The New Tab page becomes your Mission Control dashboard.

Expected result: Your new tabs show the Mission Control interface for organizing bookmarks and focusing on tasks, rather than Chrome's default new-tab page.

What you need: A Chrome browser and the ability to install browser extensions. The site describes the extension as compatible with Chrome and free to add; it does not list other browsers or account requirements.

Common snags

  • The button doesn't respond: Make sure you are on mission-control.app itself, not a cached or copied page, and that Chrome allows extension installs from the Web Store.
  • New tabs look unchanged: Check that the extension is enabled in Chrome's extension settings, then open a fresh tab.
  • You expected a full todo manager: The site says Mission Control "does not replace your existing todo managers." It is meant to help you focus on important tasks, so keep using your current todo app alongside it.

Where to Find Help and Source Information

The site's navigation includes Contact and GitHub links. Use these when you need support or want to look at the project's source:

Page Use it for
Contact Reaching the team with questions or issues
GitHub Source information and project details

The site does not describe a separate help center, documentation site, or FAQ page, so Contact and GitHub are the listed routes.

What Happens to Your Data

Your bookmarks and tasks stay on your system. The site states it does not collect or sell personal information and that data is stored locally in browser storage. You can also synchronize your data to GitHub as a backup, which the site presents as protection against unfortunate events. For setup details on backup, see the site's own description of the feature rather than assuming a default sync.

Is It the Right Fit?

Mission Control suits you if you want a minimal New Tab dashboard that keeps important tasks visible and makes bookmarks easier to find, while keeping data local. It is not a replacement for a full todo manager, and the site does not publish pricing beyond stating the extension is free to add. If you need multi-browser support or a hosted task service, the site does not describe those options.
