What is Momentum?

Momentum is a browser extension that transforms your new tab page into a personalized dashboard, displaying a beautiful background, daily focus, to-do list, weather, and inspirational quotes.

Pros: what Momentum does well

  • Provides a calming and inspiring start to each browsing session
  • Helps users set a daily focus and stay on top of their main tasks
  • Customizable with various widgets and beautiful background images
  • Integrates with popular task managers for consolidated views

Cons: where it falls short

  • Premium features are behind a paywall, limiting advanced customization and integrations for free users
  • Can become another source of distraction if over customized or used improperly
  • Reliance on internet connection for full functionality and image loading

Who Momentum is for

Anyone who wants a simple, aesthetic, and functional way to set daily intentions and manage quick tasks directly from their browser's new tab page.

Who can skip it

Users who prefer a completely minimalist new tab page, already use a dedicated task manager with deep integration, or find visual dashboards distracting.
