Type. Enter. There.

Celerity replaces Chrome's new tab with a quiet command surface. One letter opens a site. A few words search inside it. Everything else falls through to the web.

Animated demonstration of Celerity in a Chrome new tab: typing the letter g opens Gmail, typing y followed by words searches YouTube directly, and any other text searches the web.

Celerity on a new tab — recreated live, not screenshotted.

How it works

Every keystroke knows where it's going.

No commands to memorize, no syntax to learn. Celerity reads what you type and does the obvious thing.

  1. gEnter

    Opens Gmail

    Single letters launch the places you live. Muscle memory forms by day two.

  2. y ambient focusEnter

    Searches YouTube

    A shortcut plus words goes straight to that site's own results. The homepage never sees you.

  3. best split keyboardEnter

    Searches the web

    Anything that isn't a shortcut falls through to your default engine. Typos included.

Make it yours

Shaped around your habits.

Celerity is personal without being busy. Tune a handful of things once, then let the interface recede.

  • Your shortcuts, your alphabet

    Map any key to any place. g can be Gmail today and GitHub the day you switch.

  • Search where you're going

    Point a shortcut at a site's search path and skip its homepage forever.

  • Light, dark, or true black

    Follow the system, or pick the theme that disappears into your browser.

  • Yours to carry

    Export your setup as a single file. Import it on any machine running Chrome.

Philosophy

Speed is a form of respect.

Most new tabs want to become destinations — feeds, widgets, weather, news. Celerity believes a new tab is a doorway. Its only job is to close behind you.

Quiet
No feeds. No widgets. Nothing to check.
Direct
Every interaction exists to move you onward.
Learnable
The more you use it, the less you see it.
