Kufu Download

A better new tab.

Kufu opens in about a tenth of a second and puts your clock, calendar, weather and links exactly where you want them. No account, no ads.

Free. Windows, macOS and Linux. Works in Chrome and other Chromium browsers.

Kufu in the Keys design: a clock of raised keys, a week calendar, search and quick links on a dark background.

Keys: every digit and link is a physical key that squashes and springs back.

工夫

Kufu is Japanese for ingenuity: finding a better way. Keep what you use on a new tab, make it instant, and move the rest wherever you like.

Everything on one page, in your order

Move anything

Drag the clock, calendar, links and every widget where you want them, or start from a ready-made layout.

Four designs

Raised keys, flat paper, soft clay, or clear glass that bends your wallpaper. Light and dark for each.

Your wallpaper

Use an Unsplash collection, your own photos or videos, or plain dark. Dim it and add real film grain.

A clock with options

Keys, plain, glass numbers or analog, with five calendar styles and world clocks. Set the size and weight.

Weather at a glance

A small pill that opens into the full forecast, with six styles of animated icons.

Quick links

Links as keys, with folders and groups. Import your bookmarks or save your open tabs in one click.

Focus tools

Pomodoro, tasks, notes, countdowns, progress bars and ambient sounds. All off until you want them.

Command palette

Press Ctrl K to search your links, run actions, do math and convert units.

Profiles

Keep separate setups for work and home, and switch by hand or by the time of day.

Your new tab stays yours

Kufu keeps your settings in your browser and, if you want, syncs them through your own Chrome account. It asks for extra permissions only when you turn on a feature that needs them.

A few features talk to other services when you use them: weather comes from Open-Meteo, wallpapers from Unsplash, custom fonts from Google Fonts, and search suggestions from DuckDuckGo.

Install in three steps

Kufu isn't in the Chrome Web Store yet, so you add it by hand. It takes about a minute.

  1. 1

    Download and unzip

    Download kufu.zip and unzip it somewhere it can stay, because Chrome keeps reading from that folder.

  2. 2

    Turn on Developer mode

    Open chrome://extensions and switch on Developer mode in the top right corner.

  3. 3

    Load it

    Click Load unpacked, choose the unzipped folder, and open a new tab.
