Orbit Station — New Tab OS

Open your whole workflow in one click. Tab stacks, command palette, session capture, daily focus. Local-first & private.

Orbit Station turns every new tab into a one-click workflow launcher. Build tab stacks that open your morning routine, deep-work session, or meeting prep in a single click — or launch them with a browser-wide hotkey from any Chrome tab. Search, launch, Ask AI, and navigate with a keyboard-first command palette. A privacy-first new-tab dashboard — local-first by default, with optional cross-device sync (Pro) when you want your setup on every device. WHY ORBIT STATION ONE CLICK = ENTIRE WORKFLOW Tab stacks open 5, 10, or 20 tabs at once. Save your morning routine, dev environment, research mode, or meeting prep — then launch the whole set from any new tab, or assign Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+1–9 and fire it from any Chrome tab (not just the new tab). Mid-flow? Session Capture (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+0) saves every open tab as one launchable stack, with a “reopen last session” cue to jump back in. Park a single page with Save for later (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+L) — find it in the sidebar or palette. KEYBOARD-FIRST COMMAND PALETTE Press Cmd/Ctrl+K to search links, launch stacks, jump workspaces, capture a session, save for later, reopen your last session, or Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity (opens their sites in a new tab — Orbit never sends your prompt to a server). No mouse required. FOUR WAYS TO SEE YOUR STUFF Galaxy (visual), Grid (fast), List (keyboard power-users), and Board (Kanban). Switch with a keystroke. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Notes, todos with due dates and recurring tasks (try “standup every weekday”), a Today chip so nothing slips, calendar, Pomodoro timer with optional ambient soundscapes (generated locally, off by default), read-later queue, and optional weather — all in the Tools sidebar (Cmd+.). DAILY ATMOSPHERE, YOUR WAY A rotating backdrop, quote, clock, greeting, streak, and one clear daily focus. Choose a built-in cosmic wallpaper pack, upload your own image (stored on your device only), or opt in to a daily web photo. Tint the UI with your accent color. START WITH YOUR SITES ALREADY ON SCREEN Onboarding can import open tabs and top bookmarks so your first new tab is useful. Import bookmarks or tabs anytime; recent tabs stay one click away in the sidebar. LOCAL-FIRST, SYNC WHEN YOU WANT Links, workspaces, notes, todos, and wallpapers live in your browser. By default the extension makes zero external network requests — we cannot see your data. Want it everywhere? Pro + Google sign-in enables optional cloud sync (encrypted in transit, row-level security). Free stays fully local and account-free. No ads, no data sale — ever. YOUR DATA, YOUR FILE One-click JSON export of your entire setup. Open it, move it, delete it. Genuinely yours.
