Why I built Ambient New Tab

Made by a founder with ADHD who needed something calm to look at between tasks.

I have ADHD. I built Ambient New Tab for my own brain.

Every time I opened a new tab, I got a blank page or a wall of links, and my attention went somewhere else. I wanted something alive but calm: a scene that moves a little, follows my mouse, and gives my eyes somewhere to rest before I get back to work.

That's Ambient. Every scene is generated live, not looped video. Five are free, forever.

If your brain works like mine, try it. If motion distracts you, the calmer scenes and the focus timer are there too.

— Harvey, founder
