    # OnTrackTab Chrome Web Store Description
    
    OnTrackTab is a calmer, local-first new tab dashboard for Chrome. It replaces the default new tab page with a clean workspace for search, time, weather, calendar, notes, frequently visited sites, and customizable wallpapers.
    
    Designed for people who want their browser start page to feel useful without feeling noisy, OnTrackTab keeps everyday tools close at hand while giving you control over layout, widgets, and background style.
    
    ## Key Features
    
    - Bookmark-first search with Google fallback
    - Quick `/` keyboard shortcut to focus search
    - Clock widget with multiple display styles
    - Weather widget with optional live Tomorrow.io data
    - Calendar widget with editable holiday entries
    - Local markdown notes
    - Most-visited sites from Chrome history/top sites
    - Draggable and resizable grid layout mode
    - Floating and bento layout options
    - Built-in generated wallpapers
    - Custom image and video backgrounds
    - Optional Unsplash wallpaper integration with local caching
    - Liked wallpapers for quick reuse
    - Local-first settings and storage
    
    ## Release Notes
    - v1.0.4 fixes a storage quota error that blocked users from liking or importing more than two wallpapers.
    - v1.0.3 adds dashboard magnification, widget sizing, direct search-engine shortcut, improved grid layout behavior, fixed search result clipping, and clearer Unsplash setup warnings.
    - v1.0.2 fixes a storage issue that could happen when OnTrackTab was open in more than one tab.
    - v1.0.1 fixes Unsplash refresh behavior, prevents repeated invalid-key retries, adds toast feedback for errors and saved API keys, adds wallpaper refresh loading state, and adds liked wallpaper export/import with duplicate protection.
    
    ## Optional API Integrations
    
    OnTrackTab works without any API keys. You can optionally add:
    
    - Tomorrow.io API key for live weather data
    - Unsplash Access Key for live wallpaper photos
    
    Keys are entered in the extension settings and stored locally by the browser.
    
    ## Privacy
    
    OnTrackTab is designed to be local-first. Your settings, notes, liked wallpapers, cached wallpaper data, and optional API keys are stored locally. External requests are only made when you enable features that need them, such as live weather or Unsplash wallpapers.
    
    Chrome permissions are used to support bookmark search, most-visited sites, and local extension storage.
