Chrome Extension

Your new tab, rebuilt around your day.

Workspace Zero replaces Chrome's new-tab page with a fast, freeform dashboard of widgets — shortcuts, clocks, weather, calendars, notes, GitHub activity, and tab management — arranged exactly the way you want, across as many workspaces as you need.

Not yet on the Chrome Web Store — reach out for early access while it finishes testing. Privacy policy

Widgets

Everything a new tab could be, none of the clutter you didn't ask for

Add only the widgets you use, drag them where you want, and resize to fit. Every widget lives inside a workspace you fully control.

Shortcuts

Custom website tiles with auto-fetched favicons or your own image, resizable down to a compact favicon-only size.

Clock

Multiple clocks, each with its own timezone and optional label.

Weather

Local forecast by ZIP code with a condition icon, temperature, and a link through to full details.

Calendar

Daily, weekly, and monthly views, with optional Google Calendar sync and per-calendar color coding.

Scratch Pad

Notes and checklists organized into groups, with drag-to-reorder, autosave, and optional reminders.

GitHub

Assigned issues, pull requests, review requests, and recent workflow run status for your chosen repos.

Tab Manager

See open tabs, save and restore named sessions, and reopen recently closed tabs — all optional permissions.

Workspaces & Appearance

Make it look and feel like yours

Independent workspaces, live-editable backgrounds, and appearance controls that apply across every widget.

Independent workspaces

Each workspace keeps its own widgets, layout, and appearance. Switch, create, rename, or delete from the switcher, or jump between them with Ctrl/Cmd + Left/Right.

Glass widget appearance

Per-workspace background color, opacity, and text tone, with built-in presets, a custom color picker, and per-widget overrides.

Full background control

A custom photo (auto-optimized client-side), a gradient editor with adjustable angle and color stops, or a solid color — updated live while you edit.

Privacy

Your data stays on your device

No ads, no analytics, no tracking scripts, no data resale.

Everything stored locally

All dashboard data — widgets, notes, shortcuts, calendars, settings — lives in the browser via IndexedDB. Nothing is sent to a server the extension operators run.

Optional Google sign-in

Google Calendar sync and Google Drive backup only activate when you explicitly connect your own Google account, and can be disconnected anytime from Settings.

One-click backup

Export your full dashboard to a JSON file and restore it anytime. Saved sessions and tokens are excluded from exports by default.

Revocable permissions

Optional Chrome permissions for tabs, sessions, and tab groups are requested only when you add the Tab Manager widget, and can be revoked from chrome://extensions.
