Start Here von Matt Evans

Start Here turns every new tab into a calm, useful start to your day.

See the time and a friendly greeting over a beautiful landscape photo, then get straight to what matters: today's plan, what's coming up, and the one thing you want to get done.

WHAT'S ON YOUR NEW TAB
• A big, clear clock with a greeting by name
• Today's Google Calendar, with finished events dropping off and a peek at tomorrow
• Countdowns to the dates you care about, each with a progress bar
• World clocks for the cities you work with
• Your bookmarks as a dock or a glass menu, from any folder you choose
• Your main focus for the day, checked off when it's done
• The weather and a five day forecast for the city you choose
• A simple checklist for the day, with finished items cleared each morning
• A search bar for Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, and a daily quote

MAKE IT YOURS
• Arrange mode: drag any widget where you want it, with guides that snap it into line with the others, and resize the calendar, countdowns and checklist
• Backgrounds: curated Unsplash photos, your own photo, a solid color, or a random color on every tab
• Pick a font, a 12 or 24 hour clock, and which widgets to show
• Optional sync keeps your setup the same on every computer signed in to Chrome

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your settings stay on your device, or sync through your own Chrome profile if you turn that on. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. Google Calendar and bookmarks are optional and read only, and Start Here asks for access only when you turn them on. Weather uses the city you type, never your location.
