Focus Timer, To-Dos and Notes on Your New Tab
ZeroTabs is a free Chrome new tab extension that brings a full-screen focus timer, to-dos and notes into the same dashboard as daily photography, weather and your browser essentials. Set an intention, open a focus session, and keep the tasks and notes for your day close by.
Start With a Calm New Tab
ZeroTabs gives each new tab a daily photograph, greeting, time, weather and today's intention. You can also choose a gradient, generative art or just the clock.
The extension gives you a personal dashboard for bookmarks, sessions, reading, notes, to-dos, focus, weather and world clocks. See the full ZeroTabs features.
Run a Full-Screen Focus Timer
When it is time to focus, select the focus timer from ZeroTabs. It takes over the whole screen, giving your focus session a clear space away from the rest of the dashboard.
On a Mac, press ⌘F to open the focus timer. On Windows, use Ctrl instead of ⌘. You can also reach the timer from the new tab dashboard.
Keep Today's To-Dos Close
Your to-do widget keeps lists, My Day, due dates and a seven-day streak together. Begin the day with one intention, then use the to-dos to keep the day's work visible.
On a Mac, press ⌘T to open the to-do. On Windows, use Ctrl instead of ⌘. Every widget can be turned off if you want a simpler page.
Keep Notes in Folders
ZeroTabs includes rich-text notes in folders, so written thoughts stay close to your tasks and focus tools. Use folders to organize notes for the day or a particular project.
Press ⌘N on Mac or Ctrl+N on Windows to open notes. Notes, to-dos and the focus timer can sit together without adding another browser tab.
Keep Your Browser Essentials Nearby
Your Chrome bookmarks appear in the new tab and stay in Chrome. ZeroTabs does not read page content or collect browsing history, and it never changes your bookmarks.
You can save open tabs as a named session and reopen them together later. You can also view your saved KnowMan reading in the reading queue. To keep a separate reading workflow, see Turn your new tab into a reading inbox.

ZeroTabs is a desktop extension for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. It requires a free KnowMan account, and your workspace syncs across your computers.
