Momentum Plus — Premium New Tab Dashboard

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). ═══════════════════════════════ CREDITS • React (MIT) — UI framework • Dexie (Apache 2.0) — IndexedDB wrapper • Open-Meteo (ODbL) — free weather data • NASA APOD, Bing Image of the Day — public daily-image endpoints • 16 bundled backgrounds: procedurally generated, CC0 • 8 bundled sounds: procedurally synthesized from filtered noise, CC0 If you find a bug, open an issue on the repo — fixes ship fast.
