Celerity is a keyboard-first new tab experience designed to reduce friction between intent and action.
It provides a fast, minimal surface for navigating the web using short commands instead of menus, bookmarks, and repeated clicks.
The goal is simple:
move from thinking about where to go → being there with as little interruption as possible.
Celerity is intentionally restrained. It prioritizes clarity, speed, and consistency over visual noise or feature overload.
Celerity is built around a few core ideas:
- Navigation should feel immediate, not procedural
- Speed should be calm and controlled, not chaotic
- The interface should stay out of the user's way once learned
- Keyboard input should act as a command surface, not just text entry
It is not meant to replace the browser or become a dashboard.
It acts as a lightweight layer that helps you move across sites, searches, and workflows more swiftly.

For development:
git clone https://github.com/ChadProbert/celerity.gitCelerity interprets short inputs as commands.
Type a shortcut and press enter:
g→ Gmailr→ Reddity→ YouTube
Add a space and a query to search directly:
y JavaScript tutorial→ YouTube searchs Lofi coding→ Spotify search
If no shortcut matches, input is treated as a search:
hello world javascript→ Google search
Add, edit, and remove shortcuts to match your workflow.
