About Homebase

Homebase replaces your new tab with something quieter and genuinely yours. A big clock in the font and size you want. Your links on one side, your tasks on the other — or wherever you drag them. A fresh photo behind it all. Nothing you didn't ask for. WIDGETS, WHERE YOU WANT THEM Links, weather, tasks, a timer, notes and countdowns. Each one goes in any of the four corners — drag it by its heading — and several can share a corner, stacked in whatever order you drop them. Switch off the ones you don't want and they're gone. Every widget's own settings live behind its toggle, so the panel only shows you what you're actually using. THE CLOCK, YOUR WAY Seventeen typefaces, plus a box to type any font you have installed. Size, weight, letter spacing and colour are all sliders. 12- or 24-hour, seconds and date optional. TASKS THAT STAY OUT OF THE WAY As many lists as you like. Due dates with optional times, eight colours, drag to reorder or to move a task between lists. Completed tasks can hide themselves and clear out automatically after a window you choose, so storage never creeps. SEARCH THAT LOOKS INWARD Start typing and Homebase offers your own tasks, links and recent searches — all from your own device, with nothing sent to a suggestion service. Tick a task off right from the results, or click through to it. Pressing Enter searches with whatever engine your browser is already set to; Homebase never changes it. WALLPAPERS A new photo daily, or hourly, or every tab — or pin the one you like and keep it. Choose categories — Nature, Architecture, Space, Mountains, Textures and more — and every photo comes from one of them, drawn from Openverse's library of openly licensed work. No account, no API key. Or use your own image, a URL, a gradient, a solid colour. Dim, blur and a soft shade behind the widgets keep text readable over anything. A TIMER THAT MEANS IT Pomodoro or a plain stopwatch, set to any number of minutes you like, with a ring that fills as the session runs and a chime when it flips. FOCUS MODE One click clears everything from the edges. One click brings it back. YOUR DATA IS YOURS No account, no server, no analytics, no tracking. Homebase never asks for your location permission and never reads the pages you visit. Settings, tasks and notes live on your machine and nowhere else. Export the lot to a file whenever you want.
