Ashes - New Tab

About

Ashes replaces your default new tab page with a live countdown of your remaining time, based on your birthdate and expected lifespan. 

It’s not just a timer — it’s a quiet, persistent reminder that life is finite, and every second matters.

🕯️ Why Ashes?
Most new tabs are empty, noisy, or distracting.
Ashes is the opposite — it's empty of clutter, but full of meaning.

Each time you open a tab, you're reminded of the most important truth:
You are still alive. And time is still passing.

This extension is for people who:
- Feel like time slips through their fingers.
- Want to be more intentional, present, and self-aware.
- Are tired of mindless browsing and digital noise
- Need a simple, grounding anchor in their daily flow.
- Ashes isn’t about fear — it’s about clarity.


No productivity hacks. No task lists. Just time, visible.

It’s not just a tool. It’s a perspective.

Inspired by the idea that the average person spends ~10 years of life just browsing, Ashes is a memento mori for the digital age. A soft glow in your browser that says: This moment is real. What will you do with it?

💬 What You Might Feel
A little uneasy at first. (That’s normal.)
Then: calm, clarity, and eventually… control.

Ashes isn’t for everyone.
But if it speaks to you, it may quietly shift how you live your days.

🧑‍💻 About the Creator
Hi, I’m Aryan Techie — a developer & creator who builds tools that help people live more deliberately.

Ashes wasn’t built for productivity. It was built for presence.
For that tiny moment when a tab opens and you pause, even for a breath — to remember: You just have one life. Make it yours.

Install Ashes and make every tab a small moment of truth.
Because time doesn’t wait.
And you’re still alive.

Peace.
