Motion
AI calendar and task app that auto-slots tasks around meetings and re-shuffles your schedule in real time as priorities change.
An AI that re-plans your day automatically when things shift, the calendar equivalent of a price watch that never stops checking.
Motion's actual job is deciding when you'll do your tasks, not just tracking that they exist. You give it your tasks, deadlines, and priorities, and it slots each one into an actual open block on your calendar around your existing meetings, then re-shuffles everything automatically the moment something changes, a meeting runs long, a new urgent task appears, a deadline moves.
That re-planning is the whole point and the thing that separates it from a normal task manager with a calendar view bolted on. A static to-do list doesn't know your day just got shorter because of an unplanned call, Motion does, and it moves your remaining tasks around to still fit, continuously, without you manually re-arranging your afternoon every time something shifts.
It works across both calendar and task management in one tool, so for someone who wants a single system handling both when things happen and what actually gets prioritised into that time, it replaces two separate apps rather than adding a layer on top of an existing task manager.
There's no free tier, it's a genuine commitment from day one: a 7-day free trial, then from $19 a month billed annually, noticeably pricier than a plain calendar or task app. I'd treat it as worth trying specifically if your day gets disrupted often enough that manually re-planning around changes is itself a real time cost, that's the exact problem it's built to remove.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Motion different from a normal calendar with a task list attached?
A normal calendar just displays what you've manually scheduled. Motion actively decides when your tasks happen by slotting them into open time around your existing meetings, and it re-does that automatically whenever something changes, a meeting runs over, a new task gets added, a deadline shifts. The scheduling itself is automated, not just displayed.
Does Motion have a free tier?
No, there's a 7-day free trial and then it's a paid subscription from $19/mo billed annually, no free tier. That's pricier than most other calendar tools in this stack, worth trying the trial specifically to see if the auto-replanning is worth it for how disrupted your typical day is.
How is Motion different from Reclaim.ai, since they sound similar?
Both automatically schedule tasks around your calendar, but Motion is generally considered more aggressive and comprehensive in actively re-planning your whole day in real time, while Reclaim.ai has a genuinely useful free tier and integrates more gently alongside your existing habits and calendar. If budget matters, Reclaim's free tier is the lower-risk starting point; if you want the most active, continuously-replanning system and don't mind paying, Motion goes further.
Does Motion work if my schedule changes a lot during the day?
Yes, that's specifically the scenario it's built for. Every time something on your calendar changes, Motion re-evaluates and re-slots your remaining tasks automatically, rather than leaving you to notice the conflict and manually rearrange things yourself.
Can Motion handle both personal tasks and work meetings together?
Yes, it pulls in your existing calendar (meetings, appointments) alongside tasks you add directly into Motion, and schedules around both together in one unified view rather than treating them as separate systems.
