canvas-newtab von Prashant Kumar

A local-first personal productivity new tab. Zero cloud, zero accounts.

Canvas turns every new tab into a personal productivity space that adapts to your time of day.

Morning surfaces your tasks and upcoming events. Afternoon highlights overdue items and focus stats. Evening reviews your habits and tomorrow’s plan. Night prompts journaling and mood check-ins.
