Stash — New Tab

Tracking since May 27, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 3, 2026
  description

  Stash — your calm personal start page for Chrome.
  
  A thoughtful replacement for the new tab page. One quiet, beautiful place to organize the things you actually use every day: the links you keep losing, the notes you keep forgetting, the habits you want to build, and a focus timer that stays out of your way.
  
  Everything is stored locally on your device. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics. Your data never leaves Chrome.
  
  — LINKS & NOTES —
  • Save links with categories, pin favorites, sort by manual / alphabetical / most clicked / unread first
  • Reading list: links default to unread, marked with a small accent dot; mark read by clicking or via the right-click menu
  • Notes and tasks with Markdown — bold, italic, code, links, lists, hashtags, and clickable inline [ ] checkboxes you can tick off
  • Six per-note colors for visual sorting (warm, cool, green, pink, purple, gray)
  • Note templates: Daily journal, Meeting notes, Weekly review — and you can add your own
  • Drag to reorder; click to edit; right-click for pin / copy URL / remove
  • One-click Undo toast after any delete
  
  — HABITS —
  • Daily, weekdays, weekends, M·W·F, or T·T·S schedules — streaks only count scheduled days
  • Goal streaks with a progress ring (e.g. "30-day goal")
  • GitHub-style year heatmap shows your full habit history at a glance
  
  — FOCUS TIMER —
  • Floating Pomodoro pill in the bottom corner with a smooth progress ring around its border
  • Customizable work and break minutes
  • Four ambient end-sounds (Off / Bell / Chime / Soft) generated locally via Web Audio
  • Persists across reloads — start a session and switch tabs without losing it
  • All-time stats (sessions, total focus time, best 7-day run, average per day) via the command palette
  
  — SEARCH DONE RIGHT —
  • Type to filter your stash live
  • "/word" — local search across links, notes, and habits, even when a web engine is selected
  • "= 24 * 7" — instant math (supports sqrt, sin/cos, log, pi, e, parens, powers)
  • Custom search engines with bang prefixes: y! for YouTube, w! for Wikipedia, gh! for GitHub, m! for Maps — add your own
  • Default engine: Stash, Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing
  
  — POWER-USER SHORTCUTS —
  • Cmd/Ctrl + K — fuzzy command palette across links, notes, categories, actions, AND your Chrome bookmarks
  • l — add link · n — add note · h — add habit · t — start/stop focus timer
  • / — focus search bar · Esc — close any open panel
  
  — PERSONALIZATION —
  • Six theme presets (Library, Ocean, Forest, Dusk, Sand, Paper) — dark and light
  • Six accent colors and three card sizes (Compact, Comfortable, Spacious)
  • Three container widths (Narrow, Normal, Wide)
  • Animated drift background (optional) or custom background image upload
  • Drag-reorder all on-page sections (clock, greeting, date, quote, focus input, habits, top sites, links, notes…)
  • 12 / 24 hour time format, or auto
  
  — WORKSPACES —
  • Switch between Personal, Work, or any number of separate stashes
  • Each workspace has its own links, notes, habits, AND theme — flip the entire vibe with one click
  
  — EXTRAS —
  • Today's focus input ("What's your focus today?") that resets at midnight
  • Countdown to any date (vacation, deadline, birthday) — "47 days until ___"
  • Daily quote from a curated collection
  • Optional weather widget (Open-Meteo, free, no API key needed)
  • Top sites from Chrome history (optional, opt-in)
  • Recently closed tabs section (optional, opt-in)
  • Weekly stats panel — Pomodoros completed, focus time, habits checked, links added
  • Marquee slide on hover for long card titles
  • Toolbar button: "Add this page to Stash" popup that pre-fills the current URL and lets you pick a workspace
  • JSON backup & import for migrating between devices or browsers
  
  — PRIVACY —
  All data lives on your device in chrome.storage.local. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. No analytics. No ads.
  The only outbound network request is to Open-Meteo if (and only if) you enable the weather widget — and only your configured city's coordinates are sent.
  
  Permissions, plainly:
  • storage — saves your data locally
  • favicon — shows site icons next to links
  • topSites — optional section showing your most-visited Chrome sites
  • bookmarks — command palette can find matching Chrome bookmarks
  • sessions — optional section showing recently closed tabs
  • tabs — the toolbar popup reads the current page's URL and title when you click it
  
  Stash is designed to fade into the background until you need it. Reach for the page; it'll be there. Get on with your day.
