Work Zone Autor: Muhammad Abdullah Roshaan

Work Zone turns every new tab into a personal dashboard: search, quick links, and a grid of productivity widgets you control, all running locally in your browser.

🔍 Search

A search bar that uses the browser's own search API, so it always searches through whichever engine you've already set as default. No separate engine picker, no extension-chosen provider. Suggestions are drawn locally from your own browsing history and bookmarks as you type.

🔗 Quick Links & organization

• Quick Links with auto-resolved favicons, drag-and-drop reordering, and compact or speed-dial layouts
• Workspaces: a multi-column system for organizing links by project, topic, or context, with drag-and-drop between columns
• A command palette (Ctrl/Cmd+K) for jumping straight to any view or action

🧩 Widgets

Pick and arrange only what you want from a drag-and-drop, resizable grid:

• Clock and Calendar
• Weather, with location-based forecasts
• Currency Converter and Finance (stock ticker lookup)
• RSS reader with multi-feed support
• GitHub contributions graph
• Daily Quotes and Word of the Day
• Browser History (recent and most-visited pages)
• Music player with playlist controls
• Network speed test and connection status
• Notes & Reminders with a full markdown editor, tags, priorities, and due dates
• Sticky Notes: brief pinned notes with a name, note, and expiration date, freely draggable anywhere on the Dashboard or Workspaces screen
• Ledger: a running transaction table with date, description, and signed amount, edited inline with a live balance

🎯 Focus & other modes

• Focus Mode: a distraction-free Pomodoro-style timer
• Workout Mode and Board Mode for structured routines and task boards

🤖 AI sidebar (optional)

Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key to chat from the sidebar. Off by default. When enabled, your messages go directly from your browser to the provider you chose. Work Zone has no server and never sees this traffic.

🎨 Personalization

Built-in wallpapers plus custom uploads, color palettes, adjustable glass/blur effects, prebuilt themes across multiple styles, and font/size customization. Everything applies instantly and persists between sessions.

🔄 Sync & backup

Optionally sync your core preferences across devices using the browser's own built-in sync, no separate account or server required. Export or import your full setup as a JSON backup at any time.

🔒 Privacy

Work Zone has no backend and no account system. Your history and bookmarks are read locally to power suggestions and widgets and are never transmitted anywhere. Widgets that need external data (weather, exchange rates, stock quotes, etc.) talk directly to the relevant public API, never through a Work Zone server. Full details in the privacy policy.
