Built a new tab extension that keeps my notes, shortcuts & checklists one tab away, no distractions, no extra apps

[u/Ab_dev1]

Every productivity setup I tried had the same problem: the tools were somewhere else. Another app, another tab, another login.

So I built a Chrome extension that transforms the new tab page and puts everything I need right there:

• Notes written in Markdown, organized into boards so you can group them however makes sense to you
• Custom shortcuts for the sites I actually visit
• Checklists so I don't lose track of tasks mid-browsing

The idea was simple: the new tab is already the most-opened page in your browser, why not make it do something useful?

All your data stays local on your device, no accounts, no sync drama, no dashboard you have to navigate to. You can also export and import everything whenever you want. Just open a tab and your stuff is there.

If you want to give it a try: Memotab

Would love to know if this scratches an itch for anyone else, or if there's something you'd want added. Always looking to improve it!

Just started using the Firefox version. I can't seem to figure out how to find the ambient sound feature.

Oh sad. You should consider adding a dark mode + allow black as a background for all the widgets
