Relax the Kax

About

Your new tab, minus the clutter.

Relax the Kax replaces Chrome's new tab page with one calm, focused dashboard. Every time you open a tab, you get a beautiful daily photo, the Jira tickets assigned to you, and your Google Calendar for the day — instead of a wall of shortcuts and noise.

Built for people who live in their browser and want their workday at a glance.

✦ What you get

• New tab dashboard — Overrides the default new tab so every tab starts focused, not cluttered.

• Jira tickets, front and center — See the tickets assigned to you, filtered by the statuses you care about: In Progress, To Do, In Review, Code Review, Blocked, or Done Today. Click straight through to any ticket.

• Today's Google Calendar — Connect with one click and see today's events, complete with times, locations, and video-call links. Auto-refreshes every few minutes so it's always current.

• A daily photo — A fresh, calming background from Lorem Picsum, cached for the day. One click for a new view whenever you want one.

• A personal touch — Add your name for a small, friendly greeting that makes the page feel like yours.

✦ Private by design

Relax the Kax has no servers and no backend. Your data never reaches us — it stays in your own browser and talks directly to the services you connect.

• Your Jira email and API token are encrypted with AES-GCM (Web Crypto API) before they're ever stored.
• Google Calendar access is read-only and managed by Chrome's secure Identity API.
• No analytics. No tracking. No ads. Ever.
