Designed around your flow

Not just shortcuts. A space that adapts to you.

LeanTab keeps the things you open every day close at hand, without turning your new tab into a dashboard full of noise.

Tiles & folders

Your favorite places, arranged the way your brain expects.

Place links on the top, bottom, left or right side. Group related sites into folders, move things by drag and drop, or lock the layout when it feels perfect.

  • Four independent tile zones
  • Use a site icon, emoji, initials or any image you like
  • Adjust the position and spacing of each side separately
  • Show labels and borders only when they are useful

Appearance & motion

A different atmosphere whenever you want one.

Start with one of 32 ready-made looks or use your own background. Add a subtle animation on top and tune it until the page feels calm, vivid, or somewhere in between.

  • Use your own image or animated background
  • Fine-tune how the background is framed, dimmed and colored
  • Glass effect for tiles, search and dialogs
Clock, date & search

Keep the center calm — or make it the statement.

Make the center of the page feel right for you: choose how the clock looks, add a soft glow, and keep only the details you want to see.

  • Make the clock subtle or dramatically large, with plenty of font choices
  • Optional greeting, date, seconds and 24-hour time
  • Make the search bar wider, narrower, taller or more compact
  • Search always follows the search engine you chose in your browser

Feel in every detail

Even a tile can feel different.

Choose how tiles react when you point at them and when you click. Keep it almost invisible, add a soft lift, a colored glow, a shimmer or something more playful — and control the effect intensity separately.

Profiles & backups

One LeanTab. Different spaces for different parts of your day.

Save your current look as a profile, switch between work and personal spaces, and keep a backup just in case. When you bring it back, you decide what to restore.

  • Profiles keep their own tiles and settings
  • You choose whether to include search history in a backup
  • Bring back everything or only your look, tiles and folders

Search without taking over your browser

Your default search stays your default search.

LeanTab respects the default search engine you already use in Chrome or Firefox. Your search history stays on your device, and Private mode lets you keep new queries out of that history when you want to.
