Pax Add to Chrome

About Pax

Pax means peace.

Why it’s called that, why I made it, and why most of it is free.

The name

pax

/paks/rhymes with relax

noun · Latin

1.Peace.

Many languages say it as a greeting or a blessing: salaam, shalom, shanti. You open a new tab a hundred times a day, so each one should give you a small moment of peace, not one more thing asking for your attention.

Why I made it

A neat new tab, without the paywall.

I started building Pax because I couldn’t find a neat new tab for Chrome. There were a few, but almost all of their best features were paid.

So in Pax, most features are free, and I intend to keep them free, so everyone can enjoy it.

Whenever I felt a feature should be there, I added it. If there’s one you’d love to see, tell me. Your favorite might be next.

— Abdullah, maker of Pax

Free, and staying free

Most of Pax is free, and I mean to keep it that way.

No ads, no account needed. This is what everyone gets, for good.

  • The glass calendar: one connected account and any .ics link
  • Quiet reminders, to-dos, notes and journal
  • Focus timer and background sounds
  • Zen mode, frosted glass and the glass search bar
  • Prayer times and daily passages for six faiths
  • Markets (five), scores (three teams), news (five sources)
  • Daily photos and twelve languages

A few extras, like sync between computers and your own photos, are in Pax Plus for people who want everything. See what’s in each plan.
