Livly is a non-distracting and useful New Tab page for Google Chrome, providing shortcuts to your favorite webpages, with a new, beautiful background every day.
If you don't like the picture of the day, just cycle through the images until you find one you like.

I use public domain images for the backgrounds, however I would still like to have the photographers credited. Some of the links I saved to the images are now broken, so if you find a photographer of a photo, or any information marked 'unknown' in credits.json, please make a pull request with the updates.

Livly will always be free. There won't be a pro-version, or any paid version like that. So if you like Livly and wish to support futher development, or support feeding my stomach, you can make a donation using the links below:
