Turn every new tab into a home screen: arrange widgets, a dock and wallpapers into a space that's yours. Local-first. Your new tab is probably one of the pages you open most - but it’s also one of the few you’ve never really made your own. **HearthUI turns your new tab into a home screen.** Arrange widgets however you like, keep your favorite sites in a magnifying dock, choose a wallpaper that actually feels alive, and open your browser to something that feels like *your space*. ## Widgets for the things you actually use * **Clock** - digital, flip, analogue, or glass styles, with support for any timezone * **Weather** - forecasts and air quality for multiple saved cities * **Notes** - Markdown, checklists, attachments, archive, and trash * **Tasks** - reminders, recurring tasks, and a compact 1×1 version * **Pomodoro, Timer, and Countdown** * **Habit tracking** * **App Grid** - organize your favorite sites into folders and categories * **Calendar, Search, Media, and Photo Frame** * **Google Photos and Home Assistant** integrations, if you use them Widgets aren't simply stretched when you resize them. Each size, from **1×1 to 6×6**, has its own layout. A small widget stays focused and simple. Give it more space, and it can show more details, controls, or lists. ## Make it feel like yours * **Free grid** - drag, resize, and arrange everything freely * **Spaces** - keep separate screens for work, home, or anything else * **Dock** - macOS-style magnification, dividers, and drag-to-reorder * **Wallpapers** - use your own images or animated WebGL backgrounds * **Glass effects** - widget edges subtly refract the wallpaper underneath * **Themes** - save your layout, wallpaper, and accent color together * **Light and dark modes**, tinting, and reduced-motion support ## Private by construction HearthUI doesn't have accounts. There's no sign-in, and there's no HearthUI server storing your data. Your notes, tasks, bookmarks, settings, and layout stay in your browser's local storage and remain on your device. HearthUI only connects to outside services when it needs something the browser can't provide on its own: * **Open-Meteo** for weather forecasts * **BigDataCloud** to turn your coordinates into a city name * **Google Fonts** for typefaces * **Simple Icons, Iconify, DuckDuckGo, or Google** to find logos for sites you add When an icon service is used, that service can see the domain you're requesting an icon for. You can choose which icon source HearthUI uses. Everything else stays local. The extension asks for just three permissions: **storage, unlimited storage, and location**. Location is only used by the weather widget to figure out your current city - and only if you choose to allow it. And there’s **no remote code**. Everything HearthUI runs is packaged directly inside the extension.
