Using WindoM

Open the gear icon (Settings) in the bottom-left corner of your new tab, then go to the Account tab.

Enter your email address and a password (minimum 8 characters) and click Create account.

Or click Continue with Google if you prefer not to manage a password.

Check your inbox for a verification email and click the link inside. You're signed in.

Go to developer.spotify.com/dashboard and log in with your Spotify account.

Click Create app.

• App name - anything you like, e.g. My WindoM
• App description - anything, e.g. Personal WindoM integration
• Redirect URI - leave this empty for now, you'll add it in Step 2
• Which API/SDKs are you planning to use? - select Web API

Agree to the terms and click Save.

Open your WindoM new tab, click Settings (gear icon, bottom-left), then go to the Spotify tab.

You'll see a box labelled Redirect URI with a value that looks like this:

Click the Copy button next to it. This URI is unique to your Chrome installation - do not type it manually.

Go back to the Spotify Developer Dashboard, click on your app, then click Settings (top right of your app page).

Scroll to the Redirect URIs field. Paste the URI you copied from WindoM, then click Add, then Save at the bottom.

Still on your Spotify app's Settings page, copy the Client ID at the top. It looks like a 32-character hex string, e.g. b3d9a1f0c84e...

Go back to WindoM → Settings → Spotify tab. Paste the Client ID into the input field and click Save & Connect.

A Spotify authorization popup will appear. Click Agree.

You're connected. The now-playing card will appear in the top dock the next time you play a track.

Make sure you have a WindoM account and are signed in (Settings → Account tab).

Open Settings → Apps hub → click the Calendar card → click Connect.

A Google authorization window opens. Choose your Google account and click Allow.

WindoM only requests read-only access to your calendar events - it cannot create, edit, or delete anything.

Done. Your upcoming events appear in the right sidebar, grouped by day.

Open Settings → Apps hub → click the Finance card.

Under Stocks, type a company name or ticker in the search bar (e.g. "Apple" or "AAPL"). Select from the autocomplete results. Repeat for each ticker you want.

Under Crypto, toggle the coins you want to track (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and more).

The Finance dashboards appear centered on your new tab. Each card is independently scrollable and has a show/hide toggle at the top.

Click the focus input in the center of your new tab - it says something like "What are you working on?"

Type what you're working on and press Enter. The timer starts and the tab dims.

When you're done, click anywhere on the screen or press Escape to exit focus mode.

Open Settings → Background tab. Select Unsplash.

Optionally, paste a Collection ID from Unsplash to curate the photo style. To find a collection ID: go to unsplash.com/collections, open any collection, and copy the number from the URL - e.g. unsplash.com/collections/4324303/...

A new photo loads each time you open a new tab.

Open Settings → Background tab. Select Local.

Click Choose image and select any photo from your device. It's stored locally - never uploaded anywhere.

Go to openweathermap.org and create a free account.

In your account dashboard, go to API Keys and copy your default key (or create a new one labelled something like WindoM).

Open WindoM Settings → Weather tab. Paste your API key and enter your city name (e.g. Tel Aviv or New York). Choose °C or °F and click Save.

The weather widget appears in the top-left of your new tab.

Open Settings → Links tab.

Click Add link. Enter the full URL (e.g. https://github.com) and a display name.

Drag to reorder. Click the × on any link to remove it.
