About Stash — New Tab
Stash — your calm personal start page for Chrome.
A thoughtful replacement for the new tab page. One quiet, beautiful place to organize the things you actually use every day: the links you keep losing, the notes you keep forgetting, the habits you want to build, and a focus timer that stays out of your way.
Everything is stored locally on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics. Your data never leaves Chrome.
— LINKS, FOLDERS & READING LIST —
• Save links with categories, pin favorites, sort by manual / alphabetical / most clicked / unread first
• Organize links into folders with custom emoji icons — folders open as a modal so you don't lose your place
• Reading list: links default to unread, marked with a small accent dot; mark read by clicking or via right-click
• Right-click any link for pin, copy URL, move to folder, mark read/unread, or remove — Undo toast appears after every delete
— NOTES & TASKS —
• Markdown supported: **bold**, *italic*, `code`, [links](url), - lists, hashtags, and clickable inline [ ] checkboxes you can tick off
• Six per-note colors for visual sorting (warm, cool, green, pink, purple, gray)
• Note templates: Daily journal, Meeting notes, Weekly review — and add your own
• Drag to reorder; click to edit; right-click for pin / remove
— HABITS —
• Daily, weekdays, weekends, M·W·F, or T·T·S schedules — streaks only count scheduled days
• Goal streaks with a progress ring (e.g. "30-day goal")
• GitHub-style year heatmap shows your full habit history at a glance
— FOCUS TIMER —
• Floating Pomodoro pill in the bottom corner with a smooth progress ring around its border
• Customizable work and break minutes
• Four ambient end-sounds (Off / Bell / Chime / Soft) generated locally via Web Audio
• Runs in the background — start a session, close the tab, and your timer keeps ticking
• Desktop notification ("Focus session complete" / "Break over") when a phase ends and you're not on the page; silent if the page is open so your Stash sound plays instead
• Persists across browser restarts
• Weekly stats panel and all-time stats page (sessions, total focus time, best 7-day run, average per day, 30-day chart)
— SEARCH DONE RIGHT —
• Type to filter your stash live
• "/word" — local search across links, notes, and habits, even when a web engine is selected
• "= 24 * 7" — instant math (supports sqrt, sin/cos, log, pi, e, parens, powers)
• Custom search engines with bang prefixes: y! for YouTube, w! for Wikipedia, gh! for GitHub, m! for Maps — add your own
• Default engine: Stash, Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing
— POWER-USER SHORTCUTS —
• Cmd/Ctrl + K — fuzzy command palette across links, notes, categories, actions, AND your Chrome bookmarks
• l — add link · n — add note · h — add habit · t — start/stop focus timer
• / — focus search bar · Esc — close any open panel
• Right-click anywhere for contextual actions
— WORKSPACES —
• Switch between Personal, Work, or any number of separate stashes
• Each workspace has its own links, folders, notes, habits, AND theme — flip the entire vibe with one click
— PERSONALIZATION —
• Six theme presets (Library, Ocean, Forest, Dusk, Sand, Paper) — dark and light
• Six accent colors and three card sizes (Compact, Comfortable, Spacious)
• Three container widths (Narrow, Normal, Wide)
• Animated drift background (optional) or custom background image upload
• Drag-reorder all on-page sections from settings
• 12 / 24 hour time format, or auto
— EXTRAS —
• Today's focus input ("What's your focus today?") that resets at midnight
• Countdown to any date (vacation, deadline, birthday)
• Daily quote from a curated collection
• Optional weather widget (Open-Meteo, free, no API key needed)
• Top sites from Chrome history (optional, opt-in)
• Recently closed tabs section (optional, opt-in)
• Weekly stats with trend lines (vs last week comparisons)
• Marquee slide on hover for long card titles
• Welcome tour you can re-open from settings anytime
• Toolbar button: "Add this page to Stash" popup that pre-fills the current URL and lets you pick a workspace
• JSON backup & import for migrating between devices or browsers
— PRIVACY —
All data lives on your device in chrome.storage.local. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. No analytics. No ads.
The only outbound network request is to Open-Meteo if (and only if) you enable the weather widget — and only your configured city's coordinates are sent.
Permissions, plainly:
• storage — saves your data locally
• favicon — shows site icons next to links
• topSites — optional section showing your most-visited Chrome sites
• bookmarks — command palette can find matching Chrome bookmarks
• sessions — optional section showing recently closed tabs
• tabs — the toolbar popup reads the current page's URL and title when you click it
• alarms — the background focus timer schedules a wakeup at the end of each phase
• notifications — desktop notification when a focus session or break ends
Stash is designed to fade into the background until you need it. Reach for the page; it'll be there. Get on with your day.
