I built this totally free Chrome extension because, like many of you, I was overwhelmed with too many tools, too many distractions, and too much digital clutter. I just wanted a clean, simple, minimal space where I could stay organised and focused.
ClearSlate is that space—a place where you can effortlessly jot down ideas, track your tasks, and keep your most important links close at hand.
It's designed to give you clarity and help you feel more in control, every time you open a new tab.
I built ClearSlate to embrace simplicity over complexity. Most productivity extensions or tools overload you with features, AI-driven distractions, or unnecessary bloat. I've kept ClearSlate purposely clean, minimal, and functional—just Links, Notes, and Tasks. And. I've focused on a clean design that stays out of your way and gives you just enough customisation to tweak it how you want.

@johnkappa I don't use chrome but it's nice to see a tool like this, Congrats on the launch
@dineshan_sithamparanathan thanks bud, I use Brave and run it. I'd say any chromium browser. Appreciate the message.

Wow, I love this simplicity. I always bookmark sites or add them to shortcuts, but I tend to forget about them. If it's organized in a consistent way, it'll be so much more convenient. I'll give it a try!
Thanks@kay_arkain - try it out and let me know your thoughts. Would love to hear feedback from real users.

Congratulations on the launch, great tool to keep track of notes and tasks. There is nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing the green tick ✅ as you clear out the to do list!
Thanks @natalie_quah , really appreciate it! That green tick feeling is unbeatable—almost like when everything just balances perfectly. 😉

so cool! love the minimal yet useful design! I'm primarily a firefox user, but have to use chrome at work - i think this will be of great use to me there.
@sai_ram_m - that was the goal. Minimal and useful. Let me know how you go. I use it on my work laptop. It great as a notes area to jotting down something is just a tab away. Be well!

Beautiful! Please keep it simple and don't have this urge many have with developing and developing more feature! Productivity tools must be like this, simple and not time-consuming!
Thanks@deffro - yes agree more isn't always the answer when it comes to UI. Everything I did with ClearSlate went through the one question. Is this needed? Does it need to have space in the UI? Try clicking on the coloured dots, I've added a privacy toggle behind each dot for each panel. Efhasiro poli
Love the clean and minimal design of ClearSlate! It’s nice to see a tool that helps organise messy thoughts without adding to the clutter. Default tab upgraded!
@bianca_pellizzari that means a lot—thank you! 🎉 I built clear slight exactly for that—helping organise thoughts without the usual clutter. Love that it’s earned the default tab spot! Let me know if there’s anything you’d love to see in future updates!
@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the kind words... I built ClearSlate to scratch my own itch and iterated on it based on feedback from friends and random users from all over. This is a side/passion project that I'll continue to improve on.

This launch would deserve more attention IMO. Good idea for simplifying the task management/scheduling. :)
