About Flate — New Tab
Make every new tab a calm, beautiful place to focus.
Flate replaces Chrome’s new tab page with a clean, customizable dashboard. See the time, set your main focus, organize tasks, check the weather, search the web, and keep favorite sites close — without creating an account.
WHAT YOU GET
• 15 curated wallpapers with daily, shuffle, and fixed modes
• Upload your own background — stored locally on your device
• A clean clock, personal greeting, and 12/24-hour formats
• A local task list with editing, drag-and-drop reordering, and completed-task controls
• Todoist integration
• A daily focus and quote for a calmer start
• Quick links to your favorite websites
• Search with Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, or Yandex
• Optional weather with current conditions and a 6-day forecast
• Simple controls to show or hide every widget
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Flate is local-first. Your name, tasks, links, daily focus, settings, and custom background are stored in Chrome’s local extension storage on your device.
• No Flate account
• No Flate backend or cloud database
• No analytics or behavioral tracking
• We do not collect, sell, upload, or store your personal data on our servers
• Only storage and unlimitedStorage permissions — no access to your browsing history, open tabs, or identity
Optional online features connect directly to the service required for that feature: weather uses Open-Meteo, shortcut favicons are loaded from DuckDuckGo, and searches go to the search provider you select. These connections use HTTPS. Flate does not proxy these requests through its own server or retain a copy.
Flate stays useful offline: bundled wallpapers, local tasks, focus, quotes, links, and settings continue to work without an account or backend.
After installing, choose “Keep it” if Chrome asks whether you want to keep the new tab change.
