Motion
AI calendar that schedules your tasks.
What it is
Motion schedules your tasks into real calendar slots automatically and reshuffles when things change. Handing scheduling to the software is the point: tasks land in real slots and move themselves when a meeting appears. You give up control of your own calendar to do it, and the price sits well above ordinary task apps.
