Behind butter

butter is a side-project by Joe Richardson. I built it because every new-tab extension I tried was either an ad farm or a kitchen sink. If you go Pro, you're paying for me to keep working on it — every subscriber buys another evening on butter.

Frequently asked

Will the free plan stay free?

Yes. The widgets shipping today stay on Free, with up to six on a dashboard. We won’t be the kind of company that yanks free features into Pro after the fact.

What does Pro actually get me today?

Three things. Unlimited AI Inbox — the free plan caps daily triage to one a day, Pro removes the cap. AI Meeting Prep — a one-sentence brief for your next calendar meeting, surfacing relevant PRs and issues so you walk in informed. And unlimited widgets on the dashboard, so the 6-widget cap goes away. New Pro features ship to your account automatically.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yep. Cancel from your account and you drop back to Free at the end of the period — your layout and data stick around.

What’s the deal with Lifetime?

A small thank-you for early adopters. One payment, Pro forever on this account. We might stop offering it after launch.

Where does my data live?

On your device. Cross-device sync uses Chrome’s own sync. We help you connect GitHub and Linear, but we never see your tokens or what they unlock — privacy page has the full breakdown.

Is there a team plan?

Not yet — and not until Pro is solid. No Enterprise tier on the roadmap.

Start with Free.

Install in ten seconds, set up the widgets you want, and upgrade to Pro from Settings if you decide you want it.
