Synapse: AI New Tab, Sidebar & Prompt Manager

Synapse is a browser workspace. It keeps the same working surface available in two places: a customizable New Tab and a live sidebar on normal web pages. That lets you keep launch tools, saved links, prompts, and page context close while you work instead of rebuilding the same setup across tabs. What Synapse does - Turn Chrome New Tab into a customizable workspace for search, launch, saved links, and reusable prompts - Keep a live sidebar open on normal pages so your tools stay beside the source material - Organize links into groups, folders, and shortcuts - Launch favorite destinations quickly from Quick Access - Search the web and your Synapse library from one place - Save the current tab or all tabs into Synapse - Reuse prompts without keeping them scattered across notes and chats - Transform live page or video context into reusable output while the source stays open - Send that output into the next step faster, including AI chat workflows when the user chooses them Why these features belong together - One workspace across two surfaces: the New Tab is the workspace home, and the sidebar keeps that same workspace available on live pages - Capture to next step in one flow: saved links, prompts, search, and page-context tools all support the same job of moving from source material to action - Reuse instead of restart: Synapse keeps prompts, launch paths, and saved context available so repeat work takes fewer steps - Real browser utility: the product stays useful while you are already on the page that matters - Local-first posture where possible: core workspace data stays local unless the user chooses optional connected workflows Good fit for - people who work out of Chrome all day - users who want one browser workspace instead of separate launch, prompt, and context tools - research-heavy and AI-assisted workflows where the source page needs to stay visible - users who want to organize, transform, and reuse work without losing context Permissions and why they exist Synapse requests permissions that map to shipped workspace features such as the custom New Tab, saved settings, keyboard shortcuts, sidebar behavior, search sources, save flows, and optional connected integrations. See the support, privacy, and security pages on synapsetools.co for current public-facing product information. Privacy labels explained Chrome requires these labels when an extension accesses or processes data, even when the data stays on the user's device. For Synapse, the labels mean: - Personally identifiable information: Google profile email, used to identify the connected Chrome profile - Authentication information: OAuth tokens for services the user chooses to connect - Personal communications: AI chat content only when the user chooses to export it - Location: device location only when the user enables live weather - Web history: browser history used for Synapse search and suggestions - Website content: current-page content or YouTube transcripts only when the user invokes an extract or context feature Synapse Tools does NOT receive, store, sell, use, or monitor this data. It is handled locally in the browser or sent directly to a third-party service only when the user explicitly chooses a connected workflow.
