Your new tab, reimagined

Lux

A customizable new tab dashboard for Chrome and Brave.

Lux is a free browser extension that replaces your default new tab page with a dashboard you build yourself — a resizable grid of widgets with a glassmorphic light or dark interface. Add optional account integrations only when you want them. Everything you set up stays in your browser: there’s no Lux account, no tracking, and your data lives on your device.

Make it yours — your wallpaper, your layout.

Widgets

Tasks

A quick, local to-do list — no account, always on hand.

Quick Access

Pinned links plus your bookmarks, history, and most-visited sites.

Image

Your own photos, as a single image or a slideshow.

Calendar

Your Google and Outlook events at a glance — read-only.

Spotify

Now playing, full playback controls, and search your library to play (Premium required to control).

GitHub

Your contribution graph and notifications.

Weather

Current conditions and forecast for a place you choose.

Optional integrations

Connect an account only when you want its widget. Each one is opt-in, and its data is fetched directly from the provider to your browser — never to a Lux server.

Google Calendar

Read-only access to your upcoming events, shown on every new tab.

Outlook Calendar

Read-only access to your upcoming Outlook / Microsoft 365 events.

Spotify

See what’s playing, control playback, and search your library to play (Premium required to control).

GitHub

Display your contribution graph and notifications.

What a connected account can access

Lux only ever requests read or playback access — never permission to change your calendars or repositories:

  • Google Calendar — your events (calendar.readonly) and account email (userinfo.email), read-only.
  • Outlook Calendar — your events (Calendars.Read) and basic profile (User.Read), read-only.
  • Spotify — playback state and your saved tracks and playlists, to show and control what’s playing and to search your library.
  • GitHub — your profile, contributions, and notifications.

Lux’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements: Google data is used only to display your events and identify the connected account, on your device — never transferred, never used for advertising, and never read by humans. See the privacy policy for the full disclosure.

Your data stays yours

Lux keeps your settings and any connected-account tokens on your device, in your browser. There’s no analytics and no tracking — your data isn’t sent to us or anyone else. Connecting some accounts (Google, Microsoft, or GitHub) uses a tiny, stateless Lux token relay that stores nothing; see the privacy policy for details.
