Overview

Daily Fact turns your blank new tab page into a moment of curiosity. Every time you open a new tab, you'll see an "on this day in history" fact drawn from Wikipedia — a historical event, a notable birthday, a cultural milestone — for today's date.

What you get:

- A fresh, hand-picked-feeling fact every time you open a new tab.
- One-click "Read more" to dive into the full Wikipedia article when something grabs you.
- "Another one" button to swap in a different fact for today if you're not feeling the first.
- Clean, distraction-free design that follows your system's light or dark mode.
- Today's fact is cached locally so it doesn't reload on every tab — instant.

Privacy:

- No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No ads.
- Facts come straight from Wikipedia's public API.
- The only data stored is today's fact, in your browser's local storage. Nothing leaves your machine.
