What it does

BaseTab is a browser extension from Generatech Studio, Inc. that replaces the empty new tab with a dashboard of widgets you arrange yourself: search, bookmarks, notes, to-dos, a kanban board, a Pomodoro timer, market tickers, Google Calendar and Gmail, and chat widgets for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Its AI feature builds new widgets for you from AI credits, which come with the Pro plan.

  • AI features need Pro. The free plan has zero AI credits, so AI widget creation is effectively a paid feature. Official source 1 ↗
  • Google setup uses your own credentials. To connect Google Calendar or Gmail you create API credentials in Google's developer console yourself, and the Gmail widget asks for permission to read, send and manage your email. Official source 1 ↗
  • Workspace content is stored on BaseTab's servers. Notes, bookmarks, to-dos and other widget content are synced to BaseTab's servers, and the site uses Microsoft Clarity session replays for analytics. Official source 1 ↗
  • Chrome and Firefox only for now. The pricing FAQ lists Chrome and Firefox as supported, with Edge, Safari and other browsers still in progress. Official source 1 ↗
