A calm Chrome new tab page. World clocks, a meeting-window finder, a five-day forecast, a dock of links, data cards from Google Calendar, Linear, and Notion, and a wallpaper that can be a gradient, a slow fluid drift, or an Unsplash photo. The whole surface shifts with the time of day. Inspired by Sean Oliver's solstice.

• A big local clock for your home timezone, with a row of other zones showing the offset, day or night (a corner sun or moon), and current temperature.
• A meeting window that finds the best overlap across your zones and says honestly when no single hour catches everyone.
• A five-day forecast strip under the home clock, with minimalist icons, in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• A day and night theme that auto-switches with your home zone: Mineral by day, Twilight by night, or pick one of eight.
• A macOS-style dock of links with hover magnification and real brand icons for Gmail and Google Calendar.
• Data cards: titled panels that show a connection's items. A Google Calendar agenda, your Linear inbox, a Notion database, or all your calendars merged into one.
• A wallpaper that is the theme gradient, a slow fluid drift, an Unsplash photo (by random subject, on a frequency you choose), or a custom image.
• Drag to rearrange anything in place: timezone cards, data cards, and dock links reorder on the dashboard and sync to the editor.
• A 12 or 24 hour clock, and settings import and export.

Everything is serverless. Settings live in chrome.storage; your keys never leave the browser.

Eight token themes plus an auto day/night mode:

• Mineral (day default) and Twilight (night default).
• Hermione (Harry Potter parchment and Gryffindor scarlet), Kirk (1960s Star Trek), Supa (Supabase).
• Aurora, Paper, Mono.

cd dashboard
pnpm install
pnpm run build:extension

Then open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and choose dashboard/dist-extension. Open a new tab.

To ship it (run it permanently for yourself without the Web Store, or publish to the store, including the Google OAuth setup), see docs/packaging.md.

Open a new tab and click the gear button in the bottom-right corner. Each section has its own icon, and a long pane collapses section by section.

• Timezones: add a city (searched live), set the home zone, drag the grab handle to reorder, or remove.
• Weather: show the forecast for the home clock and the temperature on the zone cards, and pick Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Dock links: add a link (a bare host becomes https://), edit it inline, drag to reorder, or remove.
• Connections: add a named connection to a service (you can have several of each), pick the service first, then fill its setup.
• Data cards: build a card that shows a connection, or "Combine all calendars" when you have more than one Google Calendar. Rename, repoint, drag to reorder.
• Wallpaper: choose the source and how often it changes; for Unsplash set the subjects and the darkening, and paste your access key.
• Appearance: your name, the theme, and the clock format.
• Backup: export or import your settings as JSON.

Connections are named instances of a service. You can have a "Work" and a "Personal" Google Calendar, two Linear keys, several Notion databases. A data card points at a connection. Credentials live in chrome.storage.local, keyed by connection, and never sync.

Uses Chrome's native OAuth (chrome.identity), so it needs a one-time Google Cloud setup and the installed extension (it does not work on the dev server). The full steps are in docs/packaging.md. Once set up, add a Google Calendar connection and click Connect Google on its row; that is the sign-in. Leave the calendar field blank for your main calendar, or paste another calendar's id from Google Calendar settings.

Create a personal API key in Linear (Settings, API) and paste it into a Linear connection. The card lists your open assigned issues.

Create an internal integration at notion.so/my-integrations, copy its token, and share the database or page with it. Paste the token into a Notion connection and paste the database's URL (the app keeps the id and drops the ?v= view). Notion uses an internal token, not a client id or secret.

Create a free access key at unsplash.com/developers and paste it under Wallpaper. Only the Access Key is needed. Search subjects are comma separated, and one is picked at random for each new photo.

cd dashboard
pnpm run dev             # 127.0.0.1; uses localStorage instead of chrome.storage
pnpm test                # vitest
pnpm run lint            # eslint + tsc
pnpm run build:extension # the unpacked extension in dist-extension/
pnpm run package         # build and zip for the Web Store
pnpm run icons           # regenerate the extension icons

On the dev server, Notion, Linear, and Unsplash are routed through a Vite proxy so the browser does not hit CORS from the localhost origin. Google OAuth and the real host_permissions only exist in the installed extension, so connect Google there.

One Chrome MV3 extension. TypeScript and Vite, vanilla DOM, no UI framework. The page is driven by a single validated Config (Zod) in chrome.storage, painted from a cache first so the new tab never flashes empty.

• src/config — the config schema, defaults, and the storage-backed store.
• src/time, src/weather, src/geo — the clock and overlap engine, Open-Meteo weather and forecast, and city search.
• src/dock, src/streams, src/wallpaper — the dock, the data cards, and the Unsplash and fluid wallpapers.
• src/integrations — the pluggable integration platform plus the Google Calendar, Linear, and Notion integrations. Add a source by implementing the Integration interface and listing it in src/integrations/registry.ts.
• src/theme, src/edit, src/shell, src/app — themes, the edit pane, the page composition (with a FLIP reflow animation), and the run lifecycle.
• src/security — text-only rendering, the URL scheme allowlist, and the content security policy (the single source for the manifest CSP).

Non-secret settings live in chrome.storage.sync. Secrets (the Unsplash access key and each connection's credential) live in chrome.storage.local and never sync. There is no server. Network calls go only to the services you connect: Open-Meteo (weather and geocoding), Unsplash, Notion, Linear, and Google. A credential in extension storage is fine for a personal tool, but anything with access to your Chrome profile can read it.

Chrome is the primary, clone-and-run target. Safari is also supported: it runs the same dashboard inside a signed macOS app that hosts the extension, and Google sign-in runs in that app because Safari has no chrome.identity. Building or releasing the Safari target needs Xcode, an Apple Developer account, and a signing identity, so it is an advanced target rather than a peer of Chrome. See docs/safari-release-setup.md for the full setup.

This project once explored a broader native provider platform. That earlier work is preserved at the git tag archive/safari-platform-2026-06-23, with its plan under tasks/archive/ and older design docs under docs/archive/.
