Morimantra

Memento mori for your new tab

Your weeks are numbered. Make this one count.

Every new tab opens on the time, today's list, a focus timer and the weeks you have left.

The Morimantra new tab: the time, a good-morning greeting, the day's progress, a search bar, the next task with a focus button, and a quote from Seneca over a photo of Roman ruins at sunrise.
The story goes that when a Roman general paraded through the city after a big win, someone stood behind him in the chariot whispering “memento mori”: remember you will die. So the day wouldn't go to his head.

Morimantra is that guy, minus the chariot.

Open a tab. Your day is already there.

  • A new photo every three hours
  • Quotes from the moods you pick
  • Weather where you are
  • Search the web or ask an AI
  • Your day in quarter-hour dots

One list that stays put until it's done

No backlog to groom and nothing to plan the night before. Write down what matters today and it waits on every new tab until you tick it off.

  • Drag tasks into your own order, or sort them by due date.
  • Click a title to fix it. Add a due date only when it matters.
  • The next task sits on every new tab, one click from a focus session.
The Today panel on the new tab: five tasks, two of them ticked off, with a focus button beside each open one.

Pick a task. Press start.

The clock takes over the tab until the time's up, then asks whether you're done.

  • 25/5, 50/10 or a rhythm of your own.
  • Breaks that breathe with you, and a longer one every fourth round.
  • Sessions follow you across tabs and devices.
A focus session in full screen: 15:33 left of 25 minutes, focusing on writing the launch announcement, with buttons to pause, finish early or stop.

See what focus buys you

Every finished task and focus session adds up to a picture of your days, side by side with the stretch before.

  • Tasks finished and focus sessions, day by day.
  • Look back 7 days for free, and further with Premium.
  • Premium also shows how much more you finish on the days you focus.
The Stats page: 95 tasks finished and 30 focus sessions over 30 days, each up on the month before, with a chart of tasks and focus by day.

Your life, in weeks

Add your birthday and Morimantra lays out an average lifetime as dots, with milestones like week 1,000 and day 10,000 along the way. It's a slightly rude thing to look at, and the best nudge we know for the thing you keep moving to next week.

Type the year you were born. Nothing is saved.

Questions

Is Morimantra free?

Yes. The new tab, your task list, the focus timer, 7 days of stats and your life in weeks are all free, with no trial and no card. Premium, with the extras listed above, is coming soon.

Do I need an account?

Not to look around: open the new tab in your browser and it works straight away. Make a free account when you want your tasks, focus sessions and settings saved, and in sync between the website and the extension.

Which browsers does it work in?

The extension works in Chrome and other Chromium browsers on a computer, like Edge and Brave. The website works in any modern browser, phones included.

What happens to my data?

Your tasks and settings are stored so they can follow you between devices. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. The privacy policy has the details.

Why memento mori?

Because it works. Remembering that time runs out is one of the oldest tricks for deciding what matters today. Morimantra keeps it light: a number, some dots, and then back to your list.

From the maker

I built Morimantra for myself, after one too many weeks that went somewhere without me. A new tab opens dozens of times a day, so it felt like the right place for a short list, a focus timer and a small reminder that the weeks don't come back.
