Motion Alternatives: 5 Planners for Personal Use (2026)

Why people look for one

Motion describes itself as an AI app for work: projects, tasks, calendar, meetings, documents and notes in one. Its plans are priced per seat, each with a monthly allowance of AI credits, and its pricing page offers a free trial and names no free plan.

For a team that is the point. For one person who wants the dentist, the gym and three errands fitted around two meetings, it is a lot of product around the part they need.

5 to look at

Each one, in its own terms.

TimeLoop

The day planned from a sentence ours

Who places the tasks: A scheduler, around your fixed events and the way to them; you confirm. Planning from a sentence is Pro, by hand is free
Calendars: Reads the calendars on your phone and Google Calendar as fixed events, and writes your plan into its own “TimeLoop” calendar; free
With other people: Circles joined by a link, a shared list in each, finding a time everyone is free
Where it runs: iPhone and Android phones (coming soon to both stores). No iPad, Mac, watch or web app
Free and paid: A free version; Pro monthly or yearly. On the App Store the yearly plan starts with a free week

Pick it if you want your own day planned on your phone, errands and family included, from a sentence, with the way to each place counted in. Not if you need projects or a team’s work scheduled: TimeLoop does neither.

FlowSavvy

A calendar that schedules your tasks

Who places the tasks: It does: tasks are auto-scheduled by deadline and rescheduled when plans change. Events are never moved
Calendars: Two-way sync with Google, Outlook.com and iCloud calendars; writing its tasks out to them is part of Pro
With other people: Made for individuals, in its own words
Where it runs: The web, iPhone and Android
Free and paid: A free plan that schedules two weeks ahead; Pro, with a 7-day trial, schedules eight

Pick it if you want your task list scheduled for you on a computer as well as a phone, with Outlook.com in the mix, and a free plan that already does the scheduling.

Reclaim

An AI calendar on top of Google or Outlook

Who places the tasks: It does: focus time, habits and tasks are scheduled into your calendar around your events
Calendars: Runs on your Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar account
With other people: Scheduling links for meetings; paid plans are per seat, with controls for a team
Where it runs: The web, on your calendar account. No iPhone or Android app of its own today, says its help centre
Free and paid: A free Lite plan for individuals that schedules one week ahead; paid plans schedule further

Pick it if your day lives in Google Calendar or Outlook on a computer and you want focus time and habits kept free there, with a free plan to begin on.

Morgen

A calendar app with an AI planner

Who places the tasks: Its AI Planner recommends where tasks go, inside the week you have laid out; you accept or adjust
Calendars: Google, Outlook, Apple, Fastmail and more in one app, with travel time and buffers blocked for you
With other people: Booking links, colleagues’ availability, and team plans priced per seat
Where it runs: Windows, macOS, Linux, the web and mobile
Free and paid: A 14-day free trial, then a subscription, monthly or yearly

Pick it if you plan at a desk, your tasks live in tools such as Notion, Todoist or Linear, and you want suggestions you approve.

Sunsama

A guided daily plan for work

Who places the tasks: You do, in a daily planning routine: tasks pulled from your work tools are timeboxed on the calendar by hand
Calendars: Syncs with Google, Outlook and Apple calendars
With other people: Made for professionals; an enterprise tier with single sign-on
Where it runs: The web, macOS and Windows, with iPhone, iPad and Android apps
Free and paid: No free plan, by its own choice; a 14-day free trial, then a subscription

Pick it if you want a calm daily routine for work: pull tasks from Asana, Trello or Jira, decide what fits today, and end the day on time.

Or stay

When Motion is still the best choice

Your planning is work, and mostly on a computer: projects with stages and dependencies, a team whose tasks have to be scheduled against each other, meeting notes that turn into tasks, and Outlook, Google and iCloud calendars in one view. TimeLoop does none of that and does not try to.

As of October 2026. What is said about each planner comes from its own website, help centre or store listing; if it has changed since, their pages are right. They belong to their makers and have nothing to do with TimeLoop. The order is ours: TimeLoop first because this is its website, the rest by how close they are to Motion.

TimeLoop

Your day.
Planned for you.

You say what has to happen. TimeLoop keeps the fixed things where they are and finds a time for the rest.
