Operations

Operations is a Chrome new-tab dashboard for managing multiple projects, with GitHub activity, project links, notes, bookmarks, and a local credential vault. It is built for developers, product managers, founders, consultants, and agency leads who want project context in one place.

Operations

Operations overview

Operations is a Google Chrome extension that turns the new-tab page into a project dashboard for people who manage several initiatives at once. It brings GitHub pull requests and issues, project links, a credential vault, notes, and bookmarks into one place, grouped by project so the next thing you need is available as soon as you open a tab.

The product is aimed at developers, product managers, founders, consultants, and agency leads who need to switch between many workstreams without hunting through scattered tabs. Data stays in Chrome’s local storage on the device, and the dashboard state can be exported or imported as JSON when you need to move it or back it up.

Core features

New-tab command center

Replaces Chrome’s new-tab page with a project dashboard so the information you check repeatedly is available the moment you open a tab.

GitHub activity tracking

Surfaces open pull requests and issues across organizations, plus draft PRs and filters for attention-focused review.

Project-scoped organization

Groups repositories, live URLs, staging links, documentation, notes, and bookmarks under each project so related work stays together.

Local credential vault

Stores tokens, passwords, and API keys locally in a per-project vault, with copy actions that do not reveal the secret on screen.

Project notes with archive

Keeps project notes inside the dashboard, supports basic markdown, and archives notes instead of deleting them.

Portable JSON backup

Provides an export and import path for the full dashboard state, including projects, notes, bookmarks, vault, and preferences, as a single JSON file.

Common use cases

  • Track development work

    Open a fresh tab to see the pull requests and issues that need attention, grouped by organization and repository instead of scattered across browser tabs.

  • Manage a project workspace

    Keep live URLs, staging links, documentation, notes, and bookmarks attached to one project card so client or internal work is easier to navigate.

  • Handle project secrets

    Store API keys, tokens, and passwords in a per-project vault and copy them without exposing the value on screen.

  • Save links in context

    Use the bookmarks carousel and toolbar popup to capture a page quickly, then file it under the right project for later reference.

  • Move or back up your workspace

    Export the whole dashboard state as JSON when moving between machines or Chrome profiles, or when you want a portable backup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Combines GitHub activity, project links, notes, bookmarks, and a vault in one new-tab view.
  • Groups information by project, which reduces context switching across many tabs and workstreams.
  • Keeps sensitive data local in Chrome storage and supports export/import as JSON.
  • Offers practical quick actions from the toolbar popup, including bookmarking the current page into a project.
  • Has clear pricing paths for individual and enterprise buyers, including a 7-day free trial on the Personal plan.

Cons

  • Built around Chrome and the new-tab workflow, so it is not a general browser-agnostic workspace.
  • Local storage keeps data on the device, which means no cloud sync unless you export and import manually.
  • The source documents a small backend for license activation and billing, so team and enterprise usage still depends on the vendor’s account flow.

FAQ

How do I install Operations?

Operations installs as a Chrome extension. Open the Chrome Web Store listing, choose Add to Chrome, and open a new tab to see the dashboard.

How do I connect GitHub?

Open the settings panel from the dashboard header and paste a GitHub personal access token. The source says a fine-grained PAT scoped to the repos you care about is enough, and the token stays in Chrome storage on your device.

What does the dashboard show?

The extension replaces the new-tab page with a dashboard that shows GitHub activity, project cards, notes, bookmarks, and a vault grouped by project. The toolbar popup adds quick actions such as bookmarking the current page, jumping to a saved project, or opening the vault.

Can I move my data to another device?

The dashboard state can be exported and imported as a single JSON file. The support pages also say the vault and full Operations state can be restored on another machine or Chrome profile by importing that file.

Is Operations for teams or individual use?

Operations is designed for individual Chrome profiles, with data stored locally in chrome.storage.local. The pricing page says Personal plans can be used on up to 3 devices per account, while Enterprise is billed to an organization with centralised billing and onboarding support.
