Intent Tab
A Chrome new tab extension that adds affirmations, intentions, focus sessions, planning tools, and progress tracking.

Intent Tab turns your browser's blank new tab into a lightweight space for intention setting, focus, and progress tracking. Instead of showing an empty page, it displays rotating affirmations and daily intentions, with optional tools for planning work, running focus sessions, tracking goals, and reviewing progress.
It is designed for people who want a visible prompt each time they open a new tab without adding another heavy dashboard or productivity feed. The extension keeps one active intention in view while providing tools such as Goal Loops, focus sessions, recovery breaks, streaks, and session evidence to create a more structured way to start and continue work.
Key Features
Intent Sets
Choose from curated intent collections designed around different moods and work styles, including discipline, calm, founder mindset, and creative flow. Pro users can also access the full intent library and create unlimited custom sets.
Goal Loops
Connect an intended outcome with the next block of work through Goal Loops. The outcome-to-session path helps turn a broader goal into a specific work session rather than leaving the intention as a standalone reminder.
Focus Sessions
Run timed focus sessions directly from the new tab experience. Sessions can include recovery breaks and session evidence, giving you a way to track what happened during a focused work period.
Site Protection
Pro users can block saved distractions while an active focus session is running. This adds a practical layer of protection when the goal is to keep a session focused on the current intention.
AI-Assisted Setup
Use AI assistance to draft intentions and Goal Loop plans. The generated drafts remain editable, so you can adjust the wording and plans before using them.
Progress Tracking
Track streaks and statistics alongside focus sessions and goals. Session evidence provides additional context for reviewing how consistently you are following through on your intended work.
Visual Themes
Customize the look of the new tab with visual themes while keeping the core experience focused on the current intention and available productivity tools.
Optional Google Drive Sync
Pro users can optionally sync settings and app data through a private Google Drive app folder. Sync is optional, and sign-in is not required for the basic experience.
Privacy-Focused Setup
Intent Tab does not collect browsing history. Sign-in and sync are optional, allowing the extension to provide its core new-tab experience without requiring an account.
Built For Intentional New Tabs
Intent Tab is built for people who want their browser's new tab to act as a small reset before starting the next task. Rather than adding another feed or complex productivity dashboard, it combines a visible daily intention with optional planning and focus tools.

Why It Matters
The browser new tab is something many people see repeatedly throughout the day. Intent Tab uses that moment to put an affirmation or daily intention in front of you rather than another empty page or source of distraction.
The main value is the combination of visibility and structure. You can keep one intention in view, connect it to a Goal Loop, work through a timed session, and review progress afterward without turning the new tab into a full productivity dashboard.
