PurposeTab allows you to see your priorities and areas of focus every time you open a new tab in your browser.

You'll have the ability to easily see your daily focus/intention, daily habits, and daily priorities on the left side.

On the right side, you can stick with our automatically-generated beautiful images, or you can choose to upload 1-4 images that inspire you (such as ones representing your goals).

To get started, simply install the extension and then open a new tab in Chrome.

There are plenty of other new tab Chrome extensions available, but we believe ours is the best for goal-oriented people that want one simple and easy-to-use tool.

Here is our short guide to getting started: 
https://bit.ly/purposetab-quickstart

Features:

• Add a daily intention (clears daily @ 12am your local time)
• Add daily habits with optional links (stay fixed and uncheck daily @ 12am your local time)
• Simple to-do list with optional links / optional due dates (checked to-do's now clear @ 12am your local time)
• Upload images that represent your goals with an optional title + date
• Simple bookmarks
• Simple notepad
• Toggle some sections on/off in settings
• Dark mode toggle
• Privacy mode toggle on/off - for when you're in a public place or are sharing your screen - replaces your goals set up with a placeholder nature image - toggle off again when ready to switch back
• Runs offline with no need for an account - all data is stored on your computer
• All data (except custom images you upload yourself) syncs between your computers where you're logged into Chrome on (for when you close your session on one computer and move to another). If you're offline, data is still stored locally on your computer and syncs when you reconnect.

PurposeTab is a minimalist extension that helps you stay centered on your priorities. Every time you open a new tab in Chrome, you see exactly what you need to focus on.

On the left side, you can see your daily intention, habits, priorities, and the day's schedule (from your Google Calendar). On the right side, you can upload images of the goals you're working towards.

Other exciting features include the ability to submit a journal entry reflection for the day (and you can review all saved journal entries) and to export a graphic of your daily updates to post to social media.

It’s built for focus and privacy. All your data stays on your computer, it works offline, and there is no need to create an account. If you connect your Google account, PurposeTab cannot read or edit any of your data (more on that at the bottom).

Main features included:

• Daily focus and mantras: Set an intention that resets at midnight to keep you present.
• Habit tracking: Add your daily habits with optional links to the tools you use.
• Priority list: A simple to-do list for your most important tasks.
• Vision board: Upload personal images that inspire you and add custom titles or dates.
• Journaling: Use the built-in prompts for daily reflection and look back at your entries later.
• Social sharing: Generate custom graphics of your progress to share on Instagram.
• Scratchpad: Quick notepads for whenever you have a random idea or need to jot something down.
• Google Calendar: Connect your account to see your schedule directly on the sidebar.
• Customization: Toggle sections on or off, use dark mode, or use privacy mode when you’re sharing your screen in a meeting.
• Data sync: Your settings and data sync automatically across any computer where you’re logged into Chrome.

Getting started is easy. Just install the extension and open a new tab.

Privacy is a top priority, and PurposeTab is built with minimal permission requests, and I don't use any servers of my own to read or edit any of your data.

Connecting your Google account is fully optional. In addition to enabling data backup to your Google Drive, it allows PurposeTab to show your Google Calendar events and Tasks for the day. It cannot make any changes to your calendar, and it cannot touch anything else in your Google account.

When you connect, Google will show a standard message about accessing data on "googleapis.com" and "jgold242.github.io." Every app that connects to Google shows this same message. Your information goes directly from Google to your PurposeTab and nowhere else. Nobody, including me, can see, store, or access your personal data. It securely streams right into your PurposeTab.
