── LONG DESCRIPTION ───────────────────────────────────────────

NeoTab transforms every new tab into a calm, productive workspace — no clutter, no ads, no accounts required.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
FLIP CLOCK & DATE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A satisfying flip-animation clock greets you on every new tab. Supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats. The current date is displayed beneath it in a clean, readable format.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LIVE WEATHER
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
See your local temperature at a glance, right below the clock. Click the weather chip to expand a full forecast. Weather is fetched automatically using your location via the Open-Meteo API — no API key required. Location is used only for weather and is never stored on any server.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
PINNED SHORTCUTS
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Pin your most-visited sites for instant one-click access. Each shortcut shows an auto-assigned keyboard shortcut key. Right-click any shortcut to edit its name, URL, or delete it. Add as many shortcuts as you need — the panel scrolls automatically.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
SMART SEARCH BAR
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A central search bar with four modes — Web, Images, AI, and News. Switch modes with a single click. Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to instantly focus the search bar from anywhere on the page. Press Esc to clear it.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
AI MODE & COMMAND PALETTE
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Toggle AI Mode to send your search directly to your preferred AI assistant. Type > in the search bar to open the command palette — quickly switch themes, start the Zen timer, clear history, set your focus goal, and more, without touching the mouse.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
AI TOOLS STRIP
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
A scrollable bottom strip gives you one-click access to your favourite AI tools and productivity apps. Comes pre-loaded with ChatGPT, Claude AI, DeepSeek, Gemini, Perplexity, Midjourney, NotebookLM, Lovable, Figma, and Notion. Add any tool by entering its URL. Remove or reorder tools with a right-click. The strip scrolls horizontally as your collection grows.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
DAILY FOCUS GOAL
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Set a single daily focus task that stays front and centre until you mark it done. Helps you stay anchored to what matters most during the day, without the overhead of a full task manager.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ZEN FOCUS TIMER (POMODORO)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Launch a full-screen Zen timer for distraction-free deep work sessions. Set your preferred session length (default: 25 minutes). The page dims and blurs while the timer runs. A progress bar tracks your session. The timer resets cleanly when the session ends.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
READ LATER
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Drag any URL from your address bar or a link into the left panel to save it for later. Your Read Later list persists across sessions and can be cleared at any time. No account, no syncing to external servers — everything stays in your browser.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BROWSING HISTORY PANEL
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Your recent browsing history is shown in the right panel with site name, category tag, and time elapsed. Click any entry to reopen it. Right-click to remove individual entries. Clear all history with a single button. Tabs are categorised automatically (AI, Web, etc.).

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
DEPTH SLIDER
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Fine-tune the ambient background depth and glow intensity using the Depth slider in the bottom-right corner. Drag to find the atmosphere that suits your setup.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
6 BEAUTIFUL THEMES
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Switch between six hand-crafted themes at any time:
• NeonNavy — deep navy with teal accents (default)
• Dark — true dark with green accents
• Light — clean off-white for bright environments
• Nord — cool Arctic blue-grey palette
• Matcha — soft green, inspired by Japanese aesthetics
• Sepia — warm amber tones, easy on the eyes

Toggle themes from the moon icon in the top bar, or cycle through them from the command palette.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

PRIVACY — NO TRACKING, NO ADS
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
NeoTab collects no personal data and sends no information to its own servers. All settings, shortcuts, and history are stored locally in your browser using the standard extension storage API.

The only outbound connections NeoTab makes are:
• Open-Meteo (open-meteo.com) — to fetch weather for your location
• Nominatim / OpenStreetMap (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) — to resolve your location name
• Iconify (api.iconify.design) — to fetch icons for AI tools
• Google Favicon service (google.com) — as a fallback for tool icons

No user account is required. No sign-in. No ads. No telemetry.
