Tasks
A fast, local to-do list — add, check off, and drag to reorder, with a running done / left count. No account.
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.

Widgets
Quick Access
Pinned favicon tiles for the sites you use, plus tabs for your bookmarks, history, and most-visited — drag to reorder, in grid or list.
Image
Your own photos on the new tab — a single image, or a slideshow that fades through a set on a timer.
Note
A no-fuss scratch note: plain text, saved as you type, and always a click away.
Calendar
Your Google and Outlook events together, read-only — switch between a month grid and a chronological list view.
Spotify
Now playing with album art and the full transport — shuffle, skip, repeat, volume, device switching — plus search your library to play (Premium to control).
GitHub
Your contribution heatmap with streaks and a per-repository breakdown, plus an inbox of your open PRs and notifications.
Weather
Current conditions and forecasts for the cities you choose — feels-like, wind, UV, sun times, and an hourly and multi-day outlook. No account.
AniList
Your library and exactly how far behind you are, a feed of the people you follow, and your notifications — with trending titles before you sign in.
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.
AniList
Read-only access to your anime and manga lists and notifications.
What a connected account can access
Lux reads your data, plus a few actions you trigger yourself — controlling Spotify playback and, on AniList, liking an activity, adjusting your episode/chapter progress, or marking notifications read. It never changes 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.
- AniList — your anime and manga lists, notifications, and the activity of people you follow. AniList offers no read-only scope, so the token is account-wide; Lux only reads, except for actions you trigger: liking an activity, adjusting your episode/chapter progress, and marking notifications read.
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.
