Command Center

Your whole day, the moment you open a new tab

Command Center new tab with clock, calendar, and Linear

You open a lot of new tabs. Most of them are a blank box and a search bar. Command Center turns that blank tab into the one screen that runs your day.

I work across New York, Lisbon, and Tokyo. I got tired of doing time zone math in my head and bouncing between five tabs to check my calendar, my Linear inbox, and my notes. So I built the tab I wanted. Open it, and your whole day is right there.

The clock that knows your whole team

New York

Lisbon

Tokyo

A big, quiet clock for your home city sits up top. Around it, every other time zone you track, with the offset and a small sun or moon for whether it is day or night there.

Then there is the meeting window. It reads everyone's working hours and finds the one hour you can all meet. When there is no such hour, it tells you the truth instead of pretending. "No single hour reaches all three. Best overlap, 9 to 1, catches two of them." Now you know, before you send the invite.

Customize panel with Calendar, Notion, GitHub, and Linear

Make it yours

Set a background and forget it. A calm gradient, a slow drifting fluid wash, a fresh Unsplash photo on a schedule you choose, or your own image. Pick how often it changes: never, every new tab, every hour, or every day.

Everything moves. Drag a time zone, a card, or a dock icon and it lands where you want it, right on the page. The edit pane keeps up.

Your calendar, your issues, your notes, in one place

Add a card for Google Calendar, Linear, or Notion. Your next meetings, your open issues, your latest docs, all on the page, side by side. Click any item to jump straight to it.

Got a work calendar and a personal one? Combine every Google Calendar into a single agenda, sorted by time. One look and you know what is next.

It follows you from morning to night

Command Center reads the clock and dresses for the hour. Warm limestone and ink by day, deep twilight by night, on its own. If you would rather pick, there are eight themes, from a 1960s Star Trek bridge to a Supabase terminal.

Weather rides along too. A five-day forecast under your clock, and the current temperature on each time zone card, in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Your call.

No servers. No accounts. Your data stays put.

There is no Strategic Nerds server in the middle, and no account to create. Command Center runs entirely in your browser. Your settings live in Chrome. Your keys, like a Linear token or a Notion secret, sit in your browser's local storage and never sync anywhere. Google Calendar signs in with Google's own flow, so we never see a password.

You connect the tools. We never see your data, and we have no idea who you are.
