Most new tab extensions show you the weather. Operations shows you your work. Projects with their links and notes in one card, a browsable bookmark library, a vault for snippets and tokens, a Pomodoro timer, a water tracker. Five themes to match your taste, with a theme generator and custom layouts on the way. Everything lives in your browser, nothing on our servers. Built by two indie makers from the Netherlands who needed it themselves.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Bas here, one half of Studio N.O.P.E. (a small Amsterdam studio run by Tijs and me).
We built Operations because our browsers were a mess. Twenty tabs open by 9am, half of them forgotten by lunch, and every new tab was a tiny detour from whatever we were actually trying to do.
So we replaced the new tab page with the stuff we actually reach for, instead of staring at a blank Google search bar fifty times a day:
→ Projects, with their links, notes, and tools all grouped together
→ A bookmark library that's actually browsable
→ A vault for the keys and snippets we kept copy-pasting
→ A Pomodoro timer and a water tracker, because we needed both
→ Five themes to choose from, with more customization on the way
It's local-first. Everything lives in your Chrome profile, nothing on our servers. It works across all your Chrome profiles. And we're just getting started, a full theme generator and customizable layouts are coming soon.
We've been using it ourselves for the past month and it's genuinely changed how we work day-to-day. Everything's where we expect it, nothing falls through the cracks anymore.
What would you want on your new tab page that we haven't built yet?
Tijs and I will be in the comments all day.

Love the "ambient accountability" idea turning a reflexive action (opening a new tab) into a moment of intentional awareness. I've noticed the products that actually change behavior are the ones that insert themselves into existing habits rather than asking you to build new ones. Does this sync with any external goal or habit trackers, or is it self-contained?
What’s the typical breaking point that makes someone switch—are they leaving a tab manager because it feels slow/clunky, because sessions/groups don’t match how they think, or because they don’t trust cloud sync—and how do you handle that switch moment (import, setup time, and avoiding “bookmark graveyard” relapse)?
In the age of "ADHD brain", this feels genuinely helpful in getting work done and avoiding unnecessary distractions. Especially as a fellow founder, I end up spending a lot of time opening a tab to do one thing and then seeing all these news popup, social feeds, etc that take my attention away.

Who hunted Operations?
Operations was hunted by Bas Fijneman. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
