Short answer

Open NotchPop Links, choose Add Link, enter a title and a valid HTTP or HTTPS address, then Save. Selecting a saved site opens it in the default browser. A saved link does not sign in for you or store a site's password.

Save destinations rather than account secrets

A small launcher works best for a short set of destinations you actually revisit: documentation, an issue tracker or a project dashboard. Use descriptive titles so similar services are distinguishable. A bookmark is a pointer to a website, not the account session or permission needed to use it.

Prefer a stable page address rather than a temporary invitation or a URL containing a token. Inspect the address before saving it, particularly if it came from a sign-in or account-recovery flow. Your browser and the site's authentication still control what happens when the link opens.

Add and check a saved site

  1. Open Links in NotchPop and choose Add Link.
  2. Enter a recognizable title and the intended web address.
  3. Choose Save; correct the form if it reports an invalid HTTP(S) address.
  4. Open the saved entry and verify the expected site appears in your default browser.

The tool accepts ordinary web addresses, not an arbitrary command launcher. A local file path belongs in a different workflow. If the page opens but asks you to sign in, that is normal account behavior rather than proof that the saved link failed.

Keep the launcher current

Remove obsolete entries when a project closes or a dashboard moves. Avoid several nearly identical titles that force you to guess which account or project they represent. The point is to reduce the small navigation step, while the browser remains responsible for the actual page and its security prompts.

For an ad hoc lookup instead of a known destination, use web search in the same tool. For a local path that a development command expects, use Copy file path. Keeping those three intentions separate—open a site, search a question, refer to a file—makes the result easier to verify.
