Manual install: clone the repo, run two build commands, then load it as an unpacked extension via Chrome developer mode.
Qiaomu Tab is a Chrome browser extension that replaces the default new tab page with a quiet, personal dashboard. Instead of opening a new tab and seeing ads or clutter, you see a large clock, a search bar, your to-do list, custom shortcut links, recent browsing history, bookmarks, notes, weather, and a small music widget, all on one screen. The extension keeps your data on your device. There is no account to create and no cloud sync requirement. Your custom sites, to-dos, notes, and settings all live in your browser's local storage. Some features do contact third-party services, such as weather data from a mapping API and daily quotes from a public endpoint, but your history and bookmarks stay local. The search bar works as a single entry point for several tasks: you can search your local bookmarks and history, switch to a web search engine, or send your query directly to an AI service like ChatGPT or Kimi. The extension includes auto-submit scripts for those AI pages, so your search term lands in the prompt box ready to go. Installation is manual for now. You clone the repository, run two terminal commands to install dependencies and build the notes editor, then load the folder as an unpacked extension through Chrome's developer mode. The project is built with plain JavaScript on Chrome's MV3 extension platform, so there is no separate development server to run during normal use. The interface is designed with Chinese users in mind, including Chinese-language labels, Chinese city weather, and specific handling for WeChat article titles in the browsing history view. An English summary is included in the README. The project is released under the MIT license.
