What it really isMomentum Dashboard — personal productivity new-tab extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Our takeMomentum is a widely-used new-tab dashboard extension (3M+ users).
It replaces the browser new tab with a focus-first personal dashboard: daily inspirational photo, weather, to-do list, daily focus prompt, and — on the Plus plan — AI Notes, Ask AI, soundscapes, site blocker, Pomodoro timer, and deep task-manager integrations. Plus runs ~$3/mo billed annually.
Why we rate itMomentum solves a real friction point — browser new tabs are a distraction black hole — with a polished, near-zero-setup solution.
The Plus tier is priced so low it removes any meaningful adoption barrier, and the addition of AI Notes/Ask AI keeps it relevant without scope-creep.
The catchCore productivity depth is shallow vs. dedicated apps; power users wanting rich project management or deep writing AI will quickly outgrow it.

A look inside
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Momentum and what does it do?
Momentum is a productivity and focus-enhancing browser extension that transforms your new tab page into a personalized dashboard designed to inspire and organize your day. Instead of seeing a blank or generic new tab, Momentum greets you with a beautiful background image, an uplifting quote, and your main focus for the day, helping you stay centered on what matters most every time you open your browser.
How does Momentum help improve productivity and focus?
Momentum encourages intentional daily planning by prompting you to set a Daily Focus — a single, clear priority you want to accomplish that day. Alongside this focus, the dashboard displays upcoming tasks, quick links, and widgets like weather, bookmarks, or to-do lists, helping you reduce distraction and maintain a sense of purpose each time you browse.
What features does Momentum offer for personal organization?
Momentum includes features like Daily Focus prompts, to-do lists, customizable widgets, inspirational quotes, weather updates, and quick access links. Users can tailor the dashboard with themes, integrate with task tools like Todoist or Google Tasks, and even track habits or daily checkpoints to build consistency over time, making each new tab a moment of clarity rather than clutter.
Can Momentum sync across devices or integrate with other tools?
Yes — Momentum supports syncing across browsers and devices when you create an account, so your goals, lists, and settings stay consistent whether you’re on your laptop, desktop, or synced browser session. It also integrates with popular task management tools to bring tasks and reminders directly into your new tab space, helping centralize your productivity workflow.
Who should use Momentum and what benefits can they expect?
Momentum is ideal for students, professionals, remote workers, and anyone who wants to stay focused and productive throughout the day. Users can expect clearer daily priorities, less digital distraction, quick access to essential tools, and a more intentional browsing experience that starts with purpose rather than chaos — ultimately helping them build better habits and get more done with less stress.
