About Protocol Tab

Protocol Tab isn’t another habit tracking app. It’s a habit builder—designed to help you create lasting habits, not just track them for a week and give up.

The goal isn’t to run every day for a month. The goal is to make a smaller habit and do it forever.

Protocol Tab is a Chrome extension that replaces your new tab page with your habit tracker. Every time you open a new tab, there are your habits.

Protocol Tab interface showing a habit tracker with multiple habits organized in groups, displaying daily completion states and weekly progress

No app to remember to open. No separate website to visit. Just open tabs like you already do, and your habits are there, reminding you to stay consistent.

Most habit trackers show you today, maybe this week. Protocol Tab shows you every week you’ve ever tracked.

This isn’t just data—it’s motivational fuel. Seeing 8 green weeks in a row reminds you: you’re the kind of person who does this. You’ve proven it. Keep going.

One Habit at a Time — You can’t land five planes at once. Protocol Tab helps you focus on what matters now, with a queue for future habits.

The Couch to 5K Approach — Start small, master it for 4 weeks, then gradually increase difficulty. Build on success, not struggle.

Habit Stacking with Groups — Group related habits into routines like “Morning Routine” or “Evening Routine” to build powerful, automatic sequences.

  • Track with nuance: completed, partial, or failed
  • Schedule habits to start on future Mondays
  • Group habits into meaningful routines
  • All data stored locally in your browser—no accounts, no servers
