The NX1 alternative to Momentum
Momentum replaces the new tab with a daily photo, a greeting and your focus for the day — deliberately minimal. That’s its strength: Momentum wants to focus you, not inform you.
NX1 starts exactly where Momentum deliberately stops: at content. Your new tab shows your topics — curated links, a news feed and live widgets per start page, with wallpapers and colour worlds that match the topic.

Content over reduction
If your new tab should show the league table, the item shop or today’s deals, a focus dashboard is the wrong tool. NX1 fills the tab with what you care about — one start page per topic, switched with a click.
It still looks calm
NX1 can do quiet too: your own wallpaper uploads, photo search and automatic readability tuning per start page. If all you want is a beautiful image and your tiles, keep the Start page minimal.
