A more meaningful new tab
The page you open a hundred times a day, finally worth opening.
Daily Motivation replaces Chrome’s empty new-tab screen with one properly-credited quote from a First Nations voice — held for the whole day, like something worth sitting with.
One voice a day
A single quote per day, persisted till midnight — not an endless feed. Skip ahead or save favourites whenever you like.
Credited, always
Speaker, Nation and original source travel with every quote — and “About this voice” tells you who’s speaking.
Share it beautifully
Turn today’s quote into an image card in the theme you’re using — share, copy or download in one tap.
Eight themes
Night sky, sun, embers, saltwater.
Colour palettes drawn respectfully from flag colours, Country and sea — no cultural imagery is imitated. Try them with the ◐ button in the tab above.
Voices you’ll meet
Real people. Real Nations. Real sources.
“Our story is in the land… it is written in those sacred places.”
Big Bill Neidjie — Gaagudju elder, Kakadu Kakadu Man, 1985
“…I hope, not the last — to try to bring out the beauty of our own legends.”
David Unaipon — Ngarrindjeri Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines, preface
“You can’t eat money, or drink oil.”
Autumn Peltier — Anishinaabe, Wiikwemkoong First Nation Address to the United Nations, 2018
One appears in your browser each day — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices alongside First Nations voices from around the world, in one free wisdom app.
Respectful attribution matters
First Nations peoples are not one culture.
Wherever possible, each quote identifies the speaker, their Nation or community, and its original source. Generic labels like “First Nations proverb” don’t appear unless a reliable source stands behind them — and when the community spots an error, we fix it.
