Crescelle
Crescelle is a free Chrome extension that replaces your new tab page. It shows your own images and GIFs as a living wallpaper, plays your own music, and puts a pomodoro, notes, weather, your Google Calendar and flashcards on the page you open most.
Your sea of calm, on every new tab.

Everything, one tab
Instead of a lofi video in one tab, a pomodoro site in another and sticky notes somewhere else — Crescelle puts your whole ambient workspace on the page you open most.
Your GIFs, alive
Point Crescelle at a folder and it becomes a smart slideshow: short GIFs loop until they've had their moment, long ones play once or twice — you decide. No distortion, ever.
Your soundtrack
Play your own music folder with full controls, shuffle and volume. It resumes exactly where you left off — same song, same second.
Focus widgets
Pomodoro, timers, focus stats and streaks, a soundscape mixer, Google Calendar, clock, weather, to-do, quick links, countdowns and word of the day — each floats wherever you want it.
Sticky notes
Unlimited notes in soft colors. Drag them anywhere, hide one or hide them all, and they're still there tomorrow.
Picture-in-picture
Float your wall above every other window — with its own mini controls for images and music — while you work in anything else.
Learn while you browse
Import a deck — vocabulary, formulas, anything — and one card appears on each new tab. Answer it and go. Multiple choice at first, then recall, then typing as it sticks. Ignoring a card never counts against you, so nothing ever piles up.
Your calendar, at a glance
Optionally connect Google Calendar to see your next events on the new tab. Read-only — Crescelle never creates or changes anything, and nothing is copied to a server.
Free
All of it. Everything Crescelle does today is free, and stays free — nothing here will be moved behind a paywall later.

one day
- Crescelle is built by one person in the evenings. At some point there will be a paid tier — but it will be for new things built after that point, never for something you already had.
- No account, no tracking, no servers. That part is not going to change.
