About Rocket Tab - Custom New Tab with Speed Dial
Rocket Tab turns the blank new tab into a start page you actually use: a speed dial of your favourite sites with real screenshots, plus weather, tasks and internet radio. One screen, no clutter, no ads.
★ VISUAL BOOKMARKS THAT LOOK LIKE THE SITE
- Real page screenshots on every tile, not a letter in a coloured circle
- Add any site in seconds; the favicon and preview are picked up automatically
- Sort shortcuts into groups such as Work or Personal, and swipe between them
- Three tile sizes, your own tile colours, and a dark or light glass theme
★ RADIO, WEATHER AND YOUR DAY
- Built-in internet radio: live stations from around the world, with search and favourites
- Music keeps playing in the background while you work
- Live weather for your city or any location you pick, in Celsius or Fahrenheit
- A to-do list that sits where you already look a dozen times a day
- Pomodoro countdown with a choice of 5 alarm sounds, any length from a 25-minute block to a short break
- Every widget is optional. Switch off what you do not want and the page stays clean
★ BACKGROUNDS
- Upload your own photo, or pick an animated background: flowing waves, a plexus network or a drifting aurora
- Rendered live in the browser, so there is nothing to download
★ WHY IT ASKS FOR SITE ACCESS
Rocket Tab needs access to websites for exactly one thing: the tile preview. When you add a shortcut or press Refresh on a card, it opens that page, captures a single frame and closes it again. That is the only moment it touches a site.
- It never runs while you browse, and never in the background
- No analytics, no trackers, no telemetry of any kind
- Your browsing history is never read, stored or sent anywhere
- Previews, wallpapers and tasks are kept on your computer
- Chrome sync carries only your own shortcuts and tasks, and only if you switch it on
★ FREE, AND STAYING THAT WAY
- No subscription, no paid tier, nothing locked behind an upgrade
- Your search engine, homepage and address-bar search are never changed
- Interface in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian
