Tabvora - Smart Tab & Dashboard Manager

A local-first new tab dashboard with visual shortcuts, custom workspaces, Pomodoro timer, notes, and memory optimizer.

Tabvora is a fast, local-first New Tab dashboard designed to organize shortcuts, workspaces, and everyday browsing in one clean, customizable interface. Replace Chrome's default New Tab page with a customizable dashboard while keeping all your data stored locally on your device. KEY FEATURES Dashboard & Shortcuts • Responsive Shortcut Grid: Handles extensive collections of websites smoothly with responsive layouts and instant search. • Custom Workspaces: Group and organize links by category or context (Main, Work, Study, Personal, Shopping). • Quick Customization: Drag-and-drop reordering, link pinning, notes indicators, and adjustable grid layouts. • One-Click Search & Import: Instant search across all saved links and simple Chrome bookmark import. • Context Menu Integration: Right-click any webpage or link to save it directly with "Add to Tabvora". • Organization Tools: Built-in duplicate finder and archive for unused shortcuts. • Automatic Favicons: Renders clean site icons using Chrome's native favicon service without third-party network calls. Productivity Widgets & Controls • RAM Saver (Memory Optimizer): One-click memory optimization using native tab sleeping (chrome.tabs.discard) to hibernate inactive background tabs, automatically safeguarding pinned tabs and media playback. • Integrated Focus Pomodoro Timer: 25-minute focus intervals and 5-minute break cycles with real-time countdown, chime alerts synthesized via W3C Web Audio API, and desktop notifications. • Quick Notes & Task Checklist: Local scratchpad widget with character counter, 1-click clipboard paste, text file export, and an integrated task checklist with progress tracking. • Browser Usage Card: Dashboard widget to track daily browsing dwell time and limit progress locally. • Live Clock, Date & Quotes: Clean, real-time desktop clock display (12h/24h) and curated offline motivational quote bank. • Widget Visibility Controls: Toggle individual widgets on or off via Appearance settings. • Native Glassmorphism UI: Modern overlay dialogs for reminders, limits, and system notices. Personalization & Environments • 40 Curated HD Wallpapers: High-resolution offline landscapes, architecture, and minimal textures. • Dynamic Live Canvas Effects: Real-time procedural atmospheric animations (Aurora Borealis, Rain on Window, Fireflies, Cosmic Lake, Starlight). • Zen Minimalist Mode: Clean hide/reveal toggle that clears the UI for zero-distraction focus. • Appearance Customization: Light, Dark, and System themes with adjustable card sizes and spacing. • Backup & Restore: Export and import your dashboard configurations as a local JSON file anytime. OPTIONAL FEATURES (Disabled by Default) • Digital Wellbeing: Provides session-based break reminders (Eye, Stretch, Walk, Long Break) to reduce screen fatigue. Resets automatically when Chrome closes. This feature is intended only for productivity and break reminders. It does not collect health or personal data. • Browser Usage Dashboard: Optionally displays your locally calculated daily browsing time and progress toward configured limits. • Website & Global Browsing Time Limits: Set custom daily time budgets per website or globally across Chrome, with real-time popups that work during full-screen media playback. • Draft Recovery: Optionally saves supported unsaved text entered into compatible web forms to help recover accidental tab closures. Password fields, payment fields, OTPs, tokens, and phone numbers are automatically excluded by sensitive field screening. • Website Usage Statistics: Optionally calculates browsing time and visit activity for websites and displays the results locally on your dashboard. PRIVACY & ZERO TELEMETRY GUARANTEE Tabvora operates strictly on a local-first architecture. All user data—including shortcuts, workspaces, notes, settings, limits, and optional feature records—remains stored on your device via chrome.storage.local, chrome.storage.session, and IndexedDB. • Zero Tracking: No analytics, telemetry, advertising trackers, or user profiling. • Zero Cloud Storage: No backend servers, cloud databases, user accounts, or cloud synchronization. • Zero Remote Code: Complies with strict CSP. No eval(), no remote scripts, and no external CDNs. All scripts and styles are bundled locally. • Data Integrity: We do not collect, transmit, share, or sell user data. • Session Safety: Temporary session data (Digital Wellbeing states and limit dismissals) automatically clears upon ending your browser session. PERMISSIONS • Storage: Saves shortcuts, workspaces, notes, settings, and local preferences on your device. • Tabs: Required for RAM Saver tab sleeping (chrome.tabs.discard) and workspace tab navigation. • Bookmarks: Used exclusively when you manually click "Import Bookmarks". • Context Menus: Powers the right-click "Add to Tabvora" shortcut creation menu. • Alarms: Schedules local reminder events and maintains Pomodoro timers after service worker suspension. • Favicon: Renders website icons using Chrome's built-in favicon API without third-party network calls. • Search: Dispatches search bar queries to your chosen search engine. • ClipboardRead: Powers the single-click paste button inside the Quick Notes scratchpad upon user click. • Notifications: Displays native desktop notifications for Pomodoro cycles and website limits. • Content Scripts (http://*/*, https://*/*): Scoped strictly to top-level pages (all_frames: false) to display in-tab limit overlays and power the optional form draft recovery feature.
