Designed differently

Not another productivity dashboard.

Mist stays quiet until you decide your new tab needs more atmosphere.

No productivity clutter
Mist keeps search, shortcuts and time close without turning every new tab into a task manager.
Local-first privacy
Your setup stays in your browser. No account, analytics profile or remote configuration upload.
A space with personality
Switch from a quiet minimal canvas to a coherent illustrated atmosphere without changing your layout.

Signature themes

Cinematic atmospheres for your desktop.

Choose a signature atmosphere or create your own from any PNG or JPG wallpaper with an automatically generated four-color palette.
