CoolDesk is two things in one: a powerful Chrome extension that upgrades your new tab page, and a Windows desktop app that gives you a full command center for everything you have open.

Open source. No account required.

Chrome Extension — Your New Tab, Supercharged

Every time you open a new tab, CoolDesk shows you:

Saved Workspaces — group links and tabs into named projects. Pinned workspaces stay at the top, sorted by your most recent activity.
Open Tabs — all your current tabs in one view, grouped by Chrome's native tab groups with their colors.
Activity Feed — see what you visited recently across all your workspaces.
Quick Search — find any saved link, tab, or workspace instantly without leaving the page.
No more blank new tab. No more hunting through dozens of open tabs.

Desktop App — Full Command Center for Windows and Mac

The desktop app adds four navigation panels you move through instantly with keyboard shortcuts or swipe gestures:

1. Workspaces (Ctrl+1)
All your saved collections in one place. Track visit counts, last activity, and pin your most-used projects. Import community workspace templates or share your own.

2. Tabs & Running Apps (Ctrl+2)
Every open browser tab and every running desktop app — in one unified grid. Scored by relevance and grouped by Chrome tab groups. Switch to anything without Alt+Tabbing.

3. Team Spaces (Ctrl+3)
Create shared spaces and invite teammates with a link. Share URLs and notes peer-to-peer in real time — no server, no account needed. Manage members and control write permissions per space.

4. Notes (Ctrl+4)
A full rich-text editor for longer writing. Headers, lists, formatting — a Notion-style editor built directly into the app. Write without switching windows.

Spotlight (Desktop Only)
One keyboard shortcut to search and launch anything — open tabs, saved workspaces, running apps, notes, and browser history — from anywhere on your desktop.

Local & Private
All data lives in your browser's local storage. Search and suggestions run on-device. Nothing is sent to external servers.

Open Source
Inspect the code, contribute, or self-host.
