basetab.ai - Customizable AI New Tab

About

basetab.ai – Your Browser's New Home

Turn every new tab into a fully customizable productivity dashboard. basetab.ai replaces your browser's default new tab page with a powerful, widget-based workspace where you can organize everything you need — bookmarks, notes, tasks, AI assistants, file storage, integrations, and more — all in one place.

Why basetab.ai?

Every time you open a new tab, you're greeted with the same blank page or a list of frequently visited sites. basetab.ai transforms that wasted space into a personal command center. No more switching between apps, tabs, or windows to check your calendar, manage your to-dos, chat with AI, or jot down a quick note. Everything lives right where you start — your new tab.

Drag-and-Drop Grid Layout

Every widget can be freely positioned and resized on a flexible grid. Drag widgets where you want them, resize to any dimension, and build a layout that matches your workflow. Your layout is saved automatically and syncs across devices.

Multiple Workspaces

Create separate workspaces (called "bases") for different contexts — one for work, one for personal projects, one for studying. Switch between them instantly with drag-and-drop tab reordering. Each workspace has its own set of widgets and layout.

Team Collaboration

Invite team members to your workspace via email. Assign roles — Owner, Editor, or Viewer — and collaborate in real time. Manage members, revoke invitations, and control access. Perfect for shared dashboards, team planning boards, and project coordination.

Cloud Sync & Offline Support

Sign in with your account and your workspaces, widgets, and preferences sync seamlessly across all your devices. basetab.ai also works offline — your data is cached locally so your new tab is always ready, even without an internet connection. Changes sync automatically when you reconnect.

Custom Backgrounds & Themes

Personalize your dashboard with three theme modes: clean White, sleek Dark, or a custom Image background. Upload your own background image or pick a custom color with the hex color picker. The UI automatically adapts text contrast based on your chosen background.

Multi-Tab Widgets

Many widgets support multiple tabs within a single widget. Keep separate clocks for different timezones, maintain multiple note documents, track weather for several cities, or run parallel AI conversations — all without cluttering your workspace.

Privacy-First Design

Your data stays yours. When connecting services like Google Calendar or Gmail, you use your own API credentials. Third-party tokens and data stay in your browser's local storage and are never sent to our servers. Runtime permissions are requested only when needed — no blanket access to your browsing data.
