Features

πŸŒ…
AI Morning Briefing
A daily digest generated by AI from your configured sources β€” news sites, RSS feeds, GitHub activity. Reads like a smart summary written for you, not a raw feed dump.
πŸ“°
Smart Developer Feed
Curated articles from Hacker News, Dev.to, CSS-Tricks, GitHub Trending, and your own RSS sources β€” ranked by your interests and reading history.
βœ…
Inline Task Board
A Kanban-style quick-task board right on your new tab. Add tasks with due dates, priorities, and tags. Syncs across sessions with no account needed.
⏱️
Pomodoro Timer
Built-in 25/5 focus timer with custom durations. Tracks sessions, shows daily totals, and optionally integrates with FocusGuard to auto-block sites during focus.
🌀️
Live Weather
Location-aware weather with current conditions, hourly breakdown, and 3-day outlook. Uses your local coordinates β€” never sent to any server.
⚑
Custom Speed Dial
Drag-and-drop quick links with favicons, custom labels, and folder grouping. Import your Chrome bookmarks in one click.
🎨
Layout Designer
Drag-and-drop widgets to any position. Show/hide individual modules. Save multiple named layouts and switch with a keyboard shortcut.
πŸŒ™
Ambient Backgrounds
Curated landscape photography, generative art, or a clean minimal background β€” changes daily or stays fixed, your choice.

How It Works

1
Open a Tab
NexusTab loads in under 100ms. Content populates asynchronously β€” the page is never blocked waiting for data fetches.
2
Stay in Context
Your briefing, tasks, weather, and feed are always current. AI summaries refresh daily; the task board updates in real time as you work.
3
Customise Everything
Drag widgets to exactly where you want them. Enable or hide any module. Your layout is saved locally and persists across browser sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

NexusTab shells in under 100ms. Content loads asynchronously, so the tab never feels blocked. Average full load is 300-400ms on a normal connection.
