Dormerdawn: Dashboard „Neuer Tab“

Dormerdawn is a new tab page that keeps your day in one place: a large clock, one thing that matters today, a short task list, notes and the sites you open every morning.

It works like a window you walk up to at the start of the day. Twelve landscapes painted for this extension sit behind the glass, and you can replace them with your own photos or a plain colour. The clock turns light or dark by itself, so it stays readable on any picture.

What you get

• Clock, date and a greeting with your name if you want one
• Today's one thing: on the next day it asks whether to keep it or clear it
• Tasks: tick, rename, drag and remove, with Undo
• Several notes that save themselves as you type
• Quick links on one long sill, with a letter or a picture you choose
• Your own photos, up to 50, stored in your browser
• A new landscape each day, or one you keep
• Widgets you can drag and resize on a grid, with the mouse or the keyboard
• A search box that uses the search engine you set in your browser
• Light and dark panes that follow your system
• An optional line for the day, from a small collection that comes with the extension

Your data stays yours. There is no account and no server, and the extension makes no network requests. One button saves everything to a single JSON file, photos included if you wish. Restoring checks the file first and shows what will change, and a damaged file changes nothing.

It keeps out of your way. The address bar keeps the cursor when a new tab opens, so you can start typing straight away. The page appears quickly.

Works offline. Your data stays in your browser. If your browser keeps its own new tab page, open Dormerdawn with the toolbar button or Alt+Shift+D. This version is free, with every feature open.

In 16 languages, including Arabic with a right-to-left layout.

It asks for two permissions: storage, to keep your data, and search, to send your query to your browser's search engine.
