Quietly powerful
ZeroTabs packs six productivity features into your new tab page. Every detail serves a purpose. Nothing competes for your attention.
01
Bookmarks & Top Sites
Your most-visited sites and saved bookmarks, always within reach. Browse, search, or just glance — right from your new tab page.
02
Tab Session Saving
Capture an entire set of open tabs and restore them later. Save your research sessions, work contexts, or browsing flows — pick up right where you were.
03
Reading Queue
Save articles and pages to read later. Your reading list lives right on your new tab, in a quiet, distraction-free space. Syncs with KnowMan.
04
Quick Notes
A built-in notepad on your new tab page. Jot down ideas, to-dos, and thoughts right where they happen — no separate app needed.
05
Focus Timer
A built-in Pomodoro-style focus timer to keep you on task. Set an intention, then let it guide your browsing session.
06
Full Keyboard Navigation
Navigate every feature from your keyboard. Fast, fluid, and completely out of the way — designed for power users who never touch the mouse.
Three background modes
ZeroTabs offers three distinct new tab background styles: high-resolution Unsplash photography that refreshes daily, soft color gradients that shift with your mood, and generative art that evolves with the hour. Choose the aesthetic that fits you.
