The problem
A new tab is one of the most frequently opened screens in a browser, yet it often does nothing for the work already in progress. I wanted a lightweight place to capture the next task, start a focus session, and return to common links without moving between several apps.
What I built
MyDash replaces Chrome's new-tab page with a personal workspace. The free core includes:
- A daily task list
- Notes and movable sticky notes
- A Pomodoro timer with breaks
- Quick links and web search
- Weather, headlines, and daily backgrounds
The aim is not to turn the tab into a full project-management system. It is to keep the small actions that interrupt a work session in one familiar place.
Why the new-tab page
The page is already in the flow of a browser workflow. That makes it useful for light planning: capture a thought, check the next task, or start a timer before reaching for another tool.
Free core, optional Pro tools
The core planning tools are free. Optional Pro features include reminders, focus and site-blocking tools, calendar connections, ambient audio, and deeper customization.
Looking for feedback
I’m especially interested in how people balance useful widgets with a calm interface. Which tools belong on a new tab, and which quickly become distracting?
Try MyDash on the Chrome Web Store. The English demo is on YouTube.
