Product preview

Overview
Motion's insight is that to-do lists fail because they are decoupled from time. So it merges tasks and calendar into one algorithm: give it deadlines, durations and priorities, and it blocks real hours on your calendar — then re-blocks constantly as meetings land, tasks slip and reality interferes. The plan is never stale because maintaining it is the machine's job, not yours.
For teams it doubles as lightweight project management with workload visibility. The honest tradeoffs: you surrender scheduling control (the algorithm wins arguments), the interface is denser than minimalist todo apps, and per-user pricing is premium. People who live by their calendar tend to love it within two weeks; people who want free-form lists will chafe. As a demonstration of AI as planning, not note-taking, Motion is the category's reference.
