~/devora — a new tab page for Chrome

Your new tab,
set up like your editor

Devora replaces Chrome’s New Tab page with widgets you pick and arrange: GitHub activity, coding streaks, tasks, notes, snippets and small dev tools. Themes, shortcuts and a command palette, like the tools you already use. Your data stays in your browser.

What’s in the box

Start from a preset or an empty grid. Every widget can be moved, resized, restyled, hidden or removed, from the mouse or the keyboard.

The Devora new tab with a greeting, clock, search bar, quick links, tasks, notes and focus timer

appearance: 21 themes, light and dark that follow your system, and a theme editor that warns about low contrast. Fonts, gradients, wallpapers or your own image.
coding: Streaks, a daily coding goal and an activity heatmap that merge your own sessions with GitHub, LeetCode and Codeforces.
focus: Focus mode hides every widget you didn’t mark. The Pomodoro timer, stopwatch and countdowns stay right across reloads, tabs and sleep.
utilities: JSON formatter, regex tester, UUIDs, Base64, URL and timestamp tools, colour converter, HTTP and Git references, snippets.
backup: Export everything to one file, import it on another machine. Devora keeps recovery copies before migrations and imports.
keyboard: Drag, resize and reorder without a mouse. High-contrast themes and reduced motion are built in.

Is it actually free?

Yes, all of it: 59 widgets, 59 widget styles, 21 themes, workspaces, integrations and backups. No account, no subscription, no in-app purchases.

Does Devora collect anything?

No. There is no Devora server. Your data lives in your browser profile, and widgets only call the services you set them up with.

Another computer?

Export your setup from Settings → Data & backup and import it there. There’s no cloud sync, on purpose.

I found a bug.
