Keep what you read close to your new tab
ZeroTabs can show a reading queue in the new tab, so your saved reading sits one click away. Keep the articles and links you save in KnowMan, which searches them by meaning. Tabs you are not done with can be swept into a named session and reopened later.
A new tab that holds your place
You open a new tab many times a day. ZeroTabs is a free new tab extension for Chrome and Chromium browsers. It gives you a quieter place to begin, with the useful things from your browser day already close. A ZeroTabs new tab shows a daily photo, a greeting, the time, the weather, and today's intention, with your things one click away.
You choose what sits behind it: photography, a gradient, generative art, or just the clock. Weather and world clocks sit in the same space, with current, hourly, and seven-day weather beside your clocks. Your workspace syncs across your computers. You can see the full list of widgets on the ZeroTabs home page.
Put a reading queue in your new tab
ZeroTabs has a reading queue widget. It brings your saved reading into the new tab. On a Mac, ⌘3 opens the reading queue. On Windows, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
Your Chrome bookmarks sit nearby. They are shown in the new tab, and they stay in Chrome.
Every widget in ZeroTabs can be turned off, so you choose what the page shows. Begin with one intention. Your saved pieces stay one click away.
Where to keep the reading you save
Saved reading needs a home. One place to keep it is KnowMan. It saves articles and links, searches them by meaning, and answers questions about them with citations. You can find a piece again with a few words about what it said. The free plan includes five Ask questions a day.

Sweep tabs into sessions for later
Reading often means too many open tabs. Select the ZeroTabs toolbar icon to sweep the window's open tabs into a named session. The sweep keeps one ZeroTabs tab open. Give the session a name that says what you were reading.
Later, choose Open All on a saved session to reopen its tabs together. You can also share sessions as links, or export and import a JSON backup.
Notes, to-dos and a timer for reading time
ZeroTabs keeps rich-text notes in folders, close and organized. To-dos hold your lists, My Day, due dates, and a seven-day streak together.
When it is time to focus, a full-screen focus timer gives the session the whole screen. We cover that side of the page in a focus timer and to-dos on your new tab.
A few keys move you around: ⌘N for notes, ⌘T for to-do, ⌘K for search, and ⌘2 for tab sessions. On Windows, use Ctrl instead of ⌘.
Keep your browsing yours
ZeroTabs does not read page content or collect your browsing history. Chrome bookmarks are shown, never changed. Precise location is used only if you turn it on.
ZeroTabs is free, has no ads, and has no paid tier. It is listed in the Chrome Web Store for Chrome and Chromium browsers such as Brave, Microsoft Edge, Arc, Vivaldi and Opera.
