Start Every Day Inspired with Your New Tab
Let’s be honest – how many times do you open a new tab in your browser each day? 50? 100? Maybe more?
What if every single one of those moments could give you a boost of inspiration, a touch of motivation, or a spark of creativity?
That’s exactly what Quotely does.
Quotely is a beautiful Chrome extension that transforms your boring new tab into a daily source of inspiration, complete with instant Google search and stunning customization options.
And the best part? It’s completely free.
Why We Built Quotely
The average person opens their browser dozens of times per day. Yet, most new tab pages are… well, boring. A few shortcuts, maybe some news widgets, but nothing truly inspiring.
We asked ourselves: What if your new tab could do more than just exist?
What if it could:
- Motivate you at the start of your workday
- Inspire you during creative blocks
- Remind you to stay positive during challenging moments
- Save you time with instant search access
- Reflect your personal style with custom themes
That’s how Quotely was born.
