Momentum Plus — Premium New Tab Dashboard

About

Momentum Plus turns your new-tab page into a calm, focused command centre.

Every feature the original Momentum hides behind its $30/year Plus subscription is here for free — multi-project todo, Pomodoro, ambient soundscapes, countdowns, mantras, notes, multi-link tiles, custom backgrounds — and none of it touches a server we control. Your data syncs between your signed-in Chrome browsers via chrome.storage.sync, not via us (we have no backend).

🌅 BEAUTIFUL DAILY BACKGROUNDS
• 16 hand-crafted gradient stills bundled offline
• Bing Image of the Day (free, no key)
• NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
• Upload your own (stored locally in IndexedDB)
• Optional Unsplash / Pexels with your own API key (BYOK)
• Rotation: daily, every 5 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes
• Per-image blur + dim sliders

🕓 4 CLOCK STYLES
Digital · Minimal · Analog · Binary. 12 / 24-hour. Show or hide seconds.

✅ MULTI-PROJECT TODO
Separate todo lists per project, 8 colour themes, double-click to rename, instant sync. The free Momentum gives you one list — Plus charges for multi. Ours is multi by default.

⏱ POMODORO TIMER
25/5/15 default, fully customizable. Conic-ring progress + browser notification when each session ends.

🗓 COUNTDOWNS
"14 days till the trip", "63 days to launch". Stack as many as you want, each with its own emoji and accent.

📝 NOTES
A multi-page jot zone. Markdown-style plain text. Synced across devices.

🔗 SHORTCUT TILES
Custom bookmark grid with emoji or auto-favicon. Multiple groups (Work / Personal / Reading…). Right-click to remove.

🌟 MANTRAS
Rotating personal affirmations. Ships with 5 starter mantras; replace them with your own.

🔊 AMBIENT SOUNDS MIXER
8 procedurally synthesized loops: rain · fireplace · ocean · brown noise · café · forest · thunder · white noise. Layer multiple tracks with per-track volume — the only way to get personalised mixes in any new-tab manager.

🌤 WEATHER
Powered by Open-Meteo (free, no key). Geolocation if you allow it; IP-based fallback if you don't. Celsius or Fahrenheit.

🔍 5 SEARCH ENGINES
Google · DuckDuckGo · Bing · Brave · Ecosia. One-click default switch.

🎨 THEME ENGINE
Auto / Light / Dark · 4 fonts (Inter, Playfair, Crimson, JetBrains Mono) · 8 accent colours · per-image blur and dim. Real-time live preview in the Settings drawer (⌘ + ,).

☁ TRUE CROSS-DEVICE SYNC, NO BACKEND
Settings, todo, countdowns, links, mantras, notes — all sync across your signed-in Chrome browsers via chrome.storage.sync (Google's). We don't run a sync server. Custom-uploaded backgrounds and the daily image cache live locally in IndexedDB and never leave your device.

🌍 8-LANGUAGE UI
Auto-detected from your browser language: English · Türkçe · Español · Deutsch · Français · Português · Italiano · 日本語. Manual override in Settings.

🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST
• Zero analytics, telemetry, or tracking
• The extension itself has no outbound network code targeting any infrastructure we operate
• External fetches only happen for features you've explicitly enabled (weather, Bing/NASA backgrounds)
• All data on your device (synced through your own Chrome account if signed in)

WHY ANOTHER NEW-TAB MANAGER?

Momentum is great but locks pomodoro, multi-todo, custom backgrounds, sounds, and countdowns behind $30/year. Tabliss is open-source but lacks polish. Infinity New Tab and Bonjourr are nice but each leaves out major Plus-tier features.

Momentum Plus gives you everything Plus charges for, plus full BYOK image sources and an ambient sound mixer they don't have — for free. Cross-device sync works because we use chrome.storage.sync, not because we run servers (we don't).
