A Momentum alternative with no subscription
Momentum is a well-made new tab page. Daft Deck covers much of the same day-to-day ground, and its upgrade costs $12 once instead of a yearly plan.

The short version
- Price. Momentum Plus is $39.95 a year on Momentum's site, and $46.99 a year or $5.99 a month in the App Store. Daft Deck Pro is $12 once.
- Countdowns and habits. In Momentum they're part of Plus (habits are called Metrics). In Daft Deck they're free.
- How it runs. Momentum is a browser extension, including for Safari on Mac and iPhone. Daft Deck is a web page you set as your homepage, and on iPhone it installs as a Home Screen app.
What Momentum does that Daft Deck doesn't
A new photo, quote and mantra every day, a site blocker, soundscapes, and links to task apps like Todoist and Asana. If those are why you use Momentum, stay with it.
What Daft Deck adds
A word for the year with past years kept, handwritten stickies, your Google Calendar for the next two weeks, and paper looks that make the page feel like a desk.
