<ul><li>Digital, analog, or market clock (Asia, Europe, and U.S. markets displayed simultaneously)</li><li>Greeting message, daily goal with streak tracking, and countdowns to one or multiple deadlines</li><li>Weather without an API key required (feels like temperature, humidity, wind) and inspiring quotes refreshed automatically</li></ul>
🔗 PRODUCTIVITY
<ul><li>Customizable quick links (badges or icons), freely positionable on the page</li><li>Multi-engine search (Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, Perplexity, and more)</li><li>Persistent task list</li></ul>
