SmartTab

Free customizable new tab dashboard with widgets: to-do, weather, Pomodoro, stocks, Gmail, notes & more. Drag, resize, sync.

SmartTab — Your Free Custom New Tab Dashboard for Chrome Turn every new tab into a personal productivity dashboard. SmartTab replaces Chrome’s blank new tab with a beautiful, fully customizable start page packed with widgets you actually use — to-do lists, weather, focus timers, stocks, crypto, Gmail, notes, birthdays & events, and more. No account required. 100% free. Set up in under a minute. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHY SMARTTAB? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Most new tab extensions give you a wallpaper or a clock. SmartTab gives you a complete command center — drag-and-drop widgets, four color themes, custom backgrounds, and settings that sync across your Chrome devices.
