About Smartboard
Are your ideas getting lost in a sea of open tabs and scattered bookmarks?
Meet Smartboard -- a browser extension that turns your New Tab into a flexible creative workspace. It works like a digital whiteboard where you can write, plan, draw, and organize ideas visually without leaving your browser.
Smartboard is useful for brainstorming projects, planning tasks, writing content, or sketching ideas, all in one open space.
(1) โ Why Smartboard --
Most New Tab extensions only show a background image or links. Smartboard replaces that with an interactive board designed for creativity and productivity. You decide how your New Tab works.
You can switch between Smartboard mode and the default browser New Tab search page at any time.

๐ผ๏ธ Large free-form canvas -- Organize content visually in one open space
