Aevum is a premium Chrome new tab extension that turns your browser into a dynamic life grid, a millisecond-precision chronometer, and a living reminder of how you spend your time. ⏳ Your life is approximately 4,160 weeks long. Aevum makes every single one of them visible — right where you spend most of your day: the browser. ──────────────────────── What is Aevum? Aevum is a premium new tab extension for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers that replaces the default blank page with a beautiful, real-time life visualization. It shows your time lived, your time remaining, and your current moment with precision. Aevum combines a life grid, a time tracker, a chronometer, and interactive fluid dynamics in one minimal, premium experience. No ads. No sign-up. No data collection. Just your time, rendered with surgical precision. ──────────────────────── ✨ Why Thousands of People Open a New Tab Differently 🔲 Dynamic Life Grid — Visualize your entire lifespan as a grid of weeks, months, or years. Past nodes light up. Future nodes remain dark. One node glows — the present moment. ⏱️ Millisecond-Precision Chronometer — Track the exact progression of your life: Years · Months · Days · Hours · Minutes · Seconds · Milliseconds. Configurable depth from hours down to ms. 🌊 Physics-Based Fluid Dynamics — A custom-built fluid simulation engine renders interactive splash physics, ambient wave oscillations, and click-and-drag ripple effects inside the current-moment node. This grid is alive. 🔄 Inverse Chronology — Toggle between time lived and time remaining. See your age counting up, or confront the years you have left. Your choice. 🎨 7 Curated Visual Themes — Dark, Ivory, Midnight, Cyber, Forest, Sunset, Monochrome. Each one is a complete atmosphere — from clinical obsidian to warm paper, deep navy to bioluminescent emerald. 🔤 4 Typography Modes — Clinical (Inter), Machine (Space Mono), Legacy (EB Garamond), Ethereal (Crimson Pro). Each typeface fundamentally changes the character of the chronometer. ⚙️ Deep Customization — Granularity threshold, scale factor, structure flow (rigid squares or organic circles), atmospheric overlay, stark weight, sub-day precision control. Make every detail yours. 🎞️ Premium Visual Design — Atmospheric film grain overlay, glassmorphism settings panel with backdrop blur, CRT-style theme transitions, and a breathing pulse animation on the current-moment node. ──────────────────────── 📦 Engineered to Disappear Aevum is built with an obsessive commitment to performance: • 51 KB total. The entire extension. Styles, logic, physics engine — everything. • Zero frameworks. Pure vanilla JavaScript. No React, no Vue, no bloat. • Zero tracking.

Works without an internet connection after installation. • Instant load. Your new tab appears in milliseconds, not seconds. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Who is Aevum For? Aevum is for people who already think about how they spend their time — and want a silent, persistent reminder to spend it better. • Developers and designers who live in their browser 8–14 hours a day • Stoic philosophy readers and memento mori practitioners • Productivity-minded professionals who want intention, not distraction • Anyone who has ever thought: “Where did the time go?” If you care about how your tools look and feel — if you use dark mode everywhere, if you notice bad kerning, if an ugly new tab extension is worse than no extension — Aevum was built for you. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ Privacy and Trust • Open source. Every line of code is public and auditable on GitHub. • MIT licensed. Use it, fork it, learn from it. • No account required. No sign-up, no email, no login. Ever. • No data leaves your browser.
