# Flippy

> Flippy is a free Chrome extension that turns the new-tab page into an all-in-one productivity workspace. It bundles an AI Lab (chat with GPT, Claude, Gemini using your own API keys), a Pomodoro timer rendered into the browser tab favicon, a focus mode with daily goals, a smart content library that resurfaces saved articles via Tours, plus calendar, todo, and animated backgrounds.

The new tab is the most-opened page on your computer. Flippy makes it useful.
