Zen Browser's marketing headline "welcome to a calmer internet" is a breathe of fresh air. Here's why this H1 works:

  • The lowercase styling visually embodies the calm that the headline itself is promising

  • "welcome to" creates an inviting tone that suggests a better experience than the visitor is used to awaits

  • "calmer internet" directly addresses the overwhelming feeling that many feel when doomscrolling the internet

  • It implies a transformation of the entire internet experience that you are currently used to

  • The overall simplicity of the message mirrors the simplicity and peace the browser aims to provide

  • Appeals to emotional benefits rather than technical features

  • Positions Zen Browser as a sanctuary from the chaos of the regular internet

11x's marketing headline "Digital workers, Human results." is a unique H1 given the current AI landscape. Here's why this headline works well:

  • Creates an intriguing contrast between "Digital" and "Human" that bridges trending AI-powered technology with human-quality output

  • "Digital workers" suggests automation and AI without using overly technical jargon

  • "Human results" addresses a key concern about AI (that it might lack in overall quality)

James Clear's marketing headline for Atoms "Tiny changes, remarkable results." works well and stands out in a crowded space. Here's why it works:

  • It directly echoes the core philosophy from his bestselling book "Atomic Habits" that has sold more than 20 million copies

  • Creates a compelling contrast between "tiny" and "remarkable" to highlight the power of small habits

  • The italics draw visual attention to the key terms and reinforce the emphasis

  • The simple, balanced structure (two words, two words) makes it highly memorable and quotable

  • Communicates the app's purpose (habit tracking for incremental improvement) without explicitly stating it

  • Promises significant outcomes from manageable actions which helps make behavior change feel accessible
