Do you ever feel like the year just slips through your fingers? One minute it’s January, and the next, you’re wondering where the last six months went. We’ve all been there.

The problem isn’t that we don’t have enough time; it’s that we can’t see it.

Enter Year Dot Calendar, a minimalist Chrome extension that transforms your “New Tab” page into a powerful visualization of your year.

More Than Just Dots

While the aesthetic is minimal, the functionality is robust and designed for productivity lovers:

  • Year Progress Tracker – See exactly what percentage of the year has passed, helping you stay on track with your New Year’s resolutions.
  • Daily Motivation – Optional motivational quotes to give you a micro‑boost of inspiration.
  • Smart Search – Integrated support for Google, ChatGPT, Brave, and more, so you don’t lose utility for aesthetics.
  • Clean & Dark Mode – A sleek, dark‑themed UI that is easy on the eyes and looks professional.

Visualize Your Success

If you want to stop drifting and start living with intention, you need to change your environment. Your browser is where you spend most of your day—make it work for you.
