Overview
Local iTab turns Chrome's new tab page into a private, local-first dashboard for search, shortcuts, and lightweight personal context.
Highlights:
- Organize favorite sites with categories and a desktop-style shortcut grid.
- Search with Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or a custom search URL.
- Customize themes, spacing, icon sizes, shortcut labels, and backgrounds.
- Keep local weather, topic, and movie cards that you control manually.
- Import and export settings as JSON.
- Optionally sync settings through Chrome Sync, with large local assets kept on the current device.
Privacy by default:
- New installs work offline by default.
- Search text is not sent anywhere while you type; a request happens only after you submit a search or open a URL.
- Online random wallpapers and online favicon fetching are off by default and require both an in-app setting and the matching optional host permission.
- User configuration, shortcuts, uploaded backgrounds, local cards, and cached icons are stored in Chrome local storage on the user's device.
- Local iTab does not include analytics, tracking scripts, ads, accounts, or remote content feeds.
