The story so far
Backs is a Chrome new tab extension that replaces your default new tab page with a customisable dashboard. You can add widgets called Backons for notes, tasks, bookmarks, weather, a Pomodoro timer, and Tab Time tracking. Arrange your widgets on a grid, choose from backgrounds that coordinate your widget colours, and keep separate layouts in Spaces for different contexts like work and personal use.
The free plan includes custom layouts, clocks, bookmarks, notes, tasks, the Pomodoro timer, Tab Time tracking, and two Spaces. Premium is optional and adds unlimited Spaces, cloud sync, extra weather tools, and image attachments. No account is required to use the free version locally.

Questions and answers
What's included for free, and what does Premium add?
The free plan includes custom layouts, clocks, bookmarks, notes, tasks, the Pomodoro timer, Tab Time and two Spaces. Premium adds unlimited Spaces, cloud sync, extra weather tools and image attachments.
Do I need an account to use Backs?
No. You can use your free local dashboard without creating an account. Sign in when you want to manage a Premium subscription or use account features such as cloud sync.
What are Spaces?
A Space is a separate saved dashboard with its own layout and content. Use one for work and another for personal projects, then switch between them inside Backs.
Does Backs work offline?
Your locally saved layout, notes, tasks and bookmarks remain available offline. Live weather, new online backgrounds, cloud sync and Space sharing need an internet connection.
