7 best Momentum alternatives in 2026

Momentum is a lovely calm new-tab page — but it's not for everyone. If you want more tools, fewer paywalls, or a different vibe, here are the seven best alternatives, and exactly who each one suits.

Momentum's free tier gives you a photo, a greeting and one daily focus; most of the useful extras (to-dos, integrations, custom links) sit behind the Plus subscription. These alternatives take different approaches to the same job — the page you open dozens of times a day.

1. Dayblaster Best free all-rounder

A free browser start page built for momentum, not meditation: editable shortcut zones, live news and markets tickers, and productivity widgets (to-do, calculator, calendar, timers), all loaded instantly. No account required, optional one-time Pro to remove ads — no subscription. Best if you open your browser to do things. See the full Dayblaster vs Momentum comparison.

2. Tabliss Minimalist

A free, open-source new-tab extension with beautiful backgrounds and a handful of small widgets. Choose Tabliss if you want calm and pretty with zero clutter — but don't expect news, markets or shortcut zones.

3. Bonjourr Apple-style minimal

Free and open-source with a refined, iOS-flavored look — clock, weather, quick links. Great for people who want "almost nothing," done tastefully.

4. start.me Power bookmark manager

The veteran. Pages, columns, RSS feeds and widgets — hugely flexible, but it takes setup and can feel dense. Best for heavy bookmark collectors and researchers. Dayblaster vs start.me.

5. Infinity New Tab Icon grid + sync

A feature-rich icon-grid new tab with cloud sync and to-dos. Powerful, though the interface leans busy and the best parts sit behind a login and premium tier.

6. Toby Tab & session manager

Less a pretty dashboard, more a way to organize tabs into collections. Ideal if your real problem is 40 open tabs rather than an empty new tab.

7. Your browser's built-in new tab Zero install

Don't overlook it — Brave, Edge and Vivaldi all have configurable built-in new-tab dashboards. If you want something with no extension at all, tidy up the one you already have.

How to choose

Want calm and minimal? Tabliss or Bonjourr.
Want tools, news and speed? Dayblaster.
Manage hundreds of links? start.me.
Drowning in tabs? Toby.
