Description
Custom new tab: a speed dial with real site screenshots, plus weather, tasks and online radio. Free, no ads. Rocket Tab turns the blank new tab into a start page you actually use: a speed dial of your favourite sites with real screenshots, plus weather, tasks and internet radio. One screen, no clutter, no ads. ★ VISUAL BOOKMARKS THAT LOOK LIKE THE SITE - Real page screenshots on every tile, not a letter in a coloured circle - Add any site in seconds; the favicon and preview are picked up automatically - Sort shortcuts into groups such as Work or Personal, and swipe between them - Three tile sizes, your own tile colours, and a dark or light glass theme ★ RADIO, WEATHER AND YOUR DAY - Built-in internet radio: live stations from around the world, with search and favourites - Music keeps playing in the background while you work - Live weather for your city or any location you pick, in Celsius or Fahrenheit - A to-do list that sits where you already look a dozen times a day - Pomodoro countdown with a choice of 5 alarm sounds, any length from a 25-minute block to a short break - Every widget is optional. Switch off what you do not want and the page stays clean ★ BACKGROUNDS - Upload your own photo, or pick an animated background: flowing waves, a plexus network or a drifting aurora - Rendered live in the browser, so there is nothing to download ★ WHY IT ASKS FOR SITE ACCESS Rocket Tab needs access to websites for exactly one thing: the tile preview. When you add a shortcut or press Refresh on a card, it opens that page, captures a single frame and closes it again. That is the only moment it touches a site. - It never runs while you browse, and never in the background - No analytics, no trackers, no telemetry of any kind - Your browsing history is never read, stored or sent anywhere - Previews, wallpapers and tasks are kept on your computer - Chrome sync carries only your own shortcuts and tasks, and only if you switch it on ★ FREE, AND STAYING THAT WAY - No subscription, no paid tier, nothing locked behind an upgrade - Your search engine, homepage and address-bar search are never changed - Interface in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian Found a bug or want a feature?
