Your favourites

Star a tool (or, on Utilities, a utility card) and a big, cinematic tile for it appears in a strip above the grid. It's the fastest way back to the handful of things you actually use - built by you, one star at a time, not pre-loaded with anyone's idea of what you'll want.

A fresh install shows none of this. There's no starter set: the strip simply doesn't exist until you star your first thing, and it collapses away again if you ever get back down to zero.

Starring and unstarring

The star lives in three places, and all three write to the same list:

The same star works on a utility card in the Utilities view - Verify & Inspect, Colour Lab, Take a PDF apart, Spreadsheet and the rest. They aren't tools (no saved sessions, nothing to keep offline), but the strip treats a starred one exactly the same way: a tile of its own, icon-led since there's no preview to show.

Not the strip you're after? The ★ Favourites pill in Sort & filter shows the same starred set as an ordinary filtered list in the grid below, instead of the drifting strip up top - useful if you'd rather scan a plain list.

One star, two lists. The ★ on a catalogue asset (Using Lolly → The Catalogue) is a different list entirely: it pins that logo, image or colour to the top of every asset picker. Same verb, same glyph, unrelated sets - starring a tool never touches your pinned assets, and vice versa.

Open Sort & filter → Featured view to choose how the strip itself looks:

A new install opens on Cover Flow at desktop width and on the plain filmstrip on a phone-width screen - the fan doesn't hold up that narrow yet - but the moment you pick one yourself, that choice sticks and stops guessing.

This is local, not part of the design system

Your starred tools are saved onto your profile - the same on-device record that holds your name, your headshot and your other preferences (see Profiles). In plain terms:

Even the choice between Gallery and Cover Flow is more local still: it lives in a small preference kept only in this one browser's own storage, and it isn't part of that profile export at all. A new device always starts back on the plain default, no matter how many profiles you've moved around.
