What It Does

Features

🌅

AI Morning Briefing

A daily digest generated by AI from your configured sources — news sites, RSS feeds, GitHub activity. Reads like a smart summary written for you, not a raw feed dump.

📰

Smart Developer Feed

Curated articles from Hacker News, Dev.to, CSS-Tricks, GitHub Trending, and your own RSS sources — ranked by your interests and reading history.

✅

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 — 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.

🌙

Ambient Backgrounds

Curated landscape photography, generative art, or a clean minimal background — changes daily or stays fixed, your choice.

The Process

How It Works

Open a Tab

NexusTab loads in under 100ms. Content populates asynchronously — the page is never blocked waiting for data fetches.

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.

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.

Transparency

Permissions Explained

Every permission is documented here with the exact reason it's needed. Nothing is requested unnecessarily.

Stores your layout preferences, task list, saved feeds, and widget settings locally.

📍

geolocation

🔒

Zero Data Collection. NexusTab processes all information on your device. No browsing data, history, or personal information is ever transmitted to AlphaByteCore servers. Read our full Privacy Policy →

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.

Yes. The dashboard shell, your tasks, saved quick links, and last-fetched weather all load from cache when offline. Feed updates require a connection.

NexusTab fetches headlines from your configured sources and sends them to the Anthropic API (using your API key) to generate a natural-language summary.
