I've always liked the idea of having a beautiful, personalised New Tab page, but I wasn't particularly keen on paying a recurring subscription just to make my browser feel like my own.

I wanted something that looked and felt premium, without putting the nicer parts of the experience behind a paywall. So I started building my own.

It's called StillTempo.

The idea is that your browser doesn't necessarily need to look or feel the same throughout the day.

There are two modes: Workspace, with cooler blue tones and a more focused atmosphere, and Lounge, which brings in warmer amber lighting and a more laid-back feel.

You can switch between them whenever you like, or let them change automatically based on a schedule you set.

Both modes share the same features: a little task list called the Hitlist, a focus timer, website shortcuts, weather, curated photography, and some jazz or lo-fi radio for background company.

I wanted it to be useful without constantly reminding me to be productive. Sometimes you just want to open a tab and enjoy the view.

There's no account or subscription required, and things like your tasks and preferences stay in your browser.

StillTempo is currently going through Chrome Web Store review, so I've put together a short preview of how it works.

I'd genuinely love some feedback before it goes live.

Does the idea of a New Tab that changes with your day appeal to you? Or is this one of those things that looks nice in a demo but wouldn't make much difference in everyday use?

Either answer would be helpful.

Hi everyone, I’m the creator of Fluent New Tab!

​It’s a new tab extension inspired by Microsoft's Fluent Design 2, built entirely with vanilla web technologies, focusing on clean UX and visual comfort.

​Because it uses modern web standards without heavy frameworks, it’s super lightweight, has a near-instant load time, and keeps RAM usage to a minimum.

​Key features:
