RuBuild Home: the time, a greeting, today's focus, search, favourite sites and tasks on a soft morning wallpaper
Features

Everything you need on a new tab, nothing you don't

Today's focus

One line for the one thing that matters today. It clears itself tomorrow.

Today's focus

Wallpapers that follow your day

Morning glow, Clear sky, Golden hour and Moonlight change through the day. Also Ocean, Forest, Lavender, Sunset and Plain light.

Wallpapers that follow your day

Your own photo

Drag any picture onto the page. The text switches between dark and white so it's always easy to read. The photo stays on your computer.

Your own photo

Make it yours

Three layouts (Full, Focus, Minimal); show or hide each part, add your name, choose a 12 or 24-hour clock, and switch motion on or off.

Make it yours

Just the essentials

The Focus layout shows only the time, greeting, today's goal and search.

Light and private

No account, no ads, and nothing leaves your computer. It pauses completely when the tab isn't on screen, so it uses almost no power.
