Fresh Tab

Tabs & sessions

Replaces the new tab page with a quiet local dashboard: note pad + quick links you edit. No feeds, no tracking, no weather API.

ZIP built in your browser. No server binary download.

Done means

Open a new tab → see your notes and links; edit them; reopen later — still there.
