  The New Tab Dashboard That’s as Smart as it is Beautiful.
  
  Stop letting your new tab be a blank, wasted space. Glassy transforms your browser's starting page into a stunning, calm, and powerful productivity hub. Inspired by the clean "glassmorphism" aesthetic, every element is designed to be fast, beautiful, and 100% customizable to your workflow.
  
  ✨ Your Productivity Hub, Your Rules
  Glassy is built on a "Quick Tools" panel that puts your most important workflows just a click away. It's not just a pretty face; it's a complete toolkit.
  
  🌟 Professional Focus Timer A full-featured Pomodoro timer to help you get into a state of flow.
  
  Persistent Logic: Starts, pauses, and completes sessions using Chrome's background alarms, so it works even if you close the tab.
  
  Actionable Notifications: Get a desktop notification when your session ends, with a one-click button to "Start Break" or "Start Focus" right from the alert.
  
  Daily Stats: Tracks your completed focus sessions for the day, with an automatic midnight reset.
  
  ✨ Quick Notes A powerful, fast notepad for your thoughts and ideas.
  
  "Save to Glassy Notes": Highlight any text on any website, right-click, and "Save to Glassy Notes" to save it to your notes instantly.
  
  Clean Bento Grid: Your notes are automatically organized in a beautiful masonry grid that respects the length of each note.
  
  Full Control: Create, edit, delete, and copy notes from a clean, simple interface. All notes are saved instantly and securely.
  
  🌟 Effortless Tab Manager Tame your tab chaos. Get a bird's-eye view of everything you have open, all from your new tab. Search, find, and close tabs instantly to reduce clutter and save memory.
  
  ✨✨✨ The Most Powerful Customization
  Your dashboard should match your vibe. Glassy gives you total control.
  
  Smart Multi-Engine Search: The search bar is your new command center. Instantly switch between Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing, or send prompts directly to AI assistants like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude.
  
  Custom Backgrounds: Set any image from Unsplash or a high-resolution GIF from Giphy/Gifer as your background.
  
  Darken Overlay: A simple slider lets you dim any background image or GIF to ensure your text is always readable and your dashboard is easy on the eyes.
  
  Themes & Fonts: Not an image person? Choose from a selection of beautiful, modern solid-color and gradient themes. Match it with your perfect font, from clean system fonts to fun, creative ones.
  
  Total Layout Control: Don't like where a widget is? Enable "Edit Layout" mode and drag-and-drop your Greeting, Time, To-Do List, and other widgets to the exact spot you want them.
  
  Lightweight: Built to be fast and efficient, Glassy won't slow down your browser.
  
  100% Private: Your data is yours. All your settings, notes, to-do items, and quick links are saved locally on your device using chrome.storage. We do not collect, see, or sell any of your data. Ever.
  
  Your browser is your most-used tool. It's time to give it the upgrade it deserves.
  
  Get Glassy.
