Aevum - Confront time. Live fully.

Aevum — Chrome New Tab Extension for Time, Focus, and Life Visualization

Transform every new tab into a real-time visualization of time. 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. No analytics, no telemetry, no cookies, no third-party requests. • Zero permissions abuse. The only permission used is storage — to save your settings locally. • 100% offline. 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.
