What is Synapse

From the Chrome Web Store

Customizable AI new tab, live sidebar, reusable prompt manager, quick launch, and YouTube/page extract - one browser workspace. Synapse is a browser workspace.

It keeps the same working surface available in two places: a customizable New Tab and a live sidebar on normal web pages. That lets you keep launch tools, saved links, prompts, and page context close while you work instead of rebuilding the same setup across tabs.

What Synapse does

Turn Chrome New Tab into a customizable workspace for search, launch, saved links, and reusable prompts
Keep a live sidebar open on normal pages so your tools stay beside the source material
Organize links into groups, folders, and shortcuts
Launch favorite destinations quickly from Quick Access
Search the web and your Synapse library from one place
Save the current tab or all tabs into Synapse
Reuse prompts without keeping them scattered across notes and chats
Transform live page or video context into reusable output while the source stays open
Send that output into the next step faster, including AI chat workflows when the user chooses them

Why these features belong together

One workspace across two surfaces: the New Tab is the workspace home, and the sidebar keeps that same workspace available on live pages
Capture to next step in one flow: saved links, prompts, search, and page-context tools all support the same job of moving from source material to action
Reuse instead of restart: Synapse keeps prompts, launch paths, and saved context available so repeat work takes fewer steps
Real browser utility: the product stays useful while you are already on the page that matters
Local-first posture where possible: core workspace data stays local unless the user chooses optional connected workflows

Good fit for

people who work out of Chrome all day
users who want one browser workspace instead of separate launch, prompt, and context tools
research-heavy and AI-assisted workflows where the source page needs to stay visible
users who want to organize, transform, and reuse work without losing context

Permissions and why they exist

Synapse requests permissions that map to shipped workspace features such as the custom New Tab, saved settings, keyboard shortcuts, sidebar behavior, search sources, save flows, and optional connected integrations.

Privacy labels explained

Chrome requires these labels when an extension accesses or processes data, even when the data stays on the user's device. For Synapse, the labels mean:

Personally identifiable information: Google profile email, used to identify the connected Chrome profile
Authentication information: OAuth tokens for services the user chooses to connect
Personal communications: AI chat content only when the user chooses to export it
Location: device location only when the user enables live weather
Web history: browser history used for Synapse search and suggestions
Website content: current-page content or YouTube transcripts only when the user invokes an extract or context feature

Synapse Tools does NOT receive, store, sell, use, or monitor this data. It is handled locally in the browser or sent directly to a third-party service only when the user explicitly chooses a connected workflow.
