Morgen

AI Planner

Proposes a time-blocked plan based on task priority, your capacity and how you like to work, and flags tasks at risk of being late. Plans are only scheduled once you approve them.

Frames

Blocks of time set aside for a type of task, each with its own filters. Together they template your ideal week and steer the AI Planner's suggestions.

Tasks from other tools

Drag tasks from Notion, Todoist, ClickUp, Linear, Obsidian, Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do into the calendar, or use the built-in task list.

Unified calendars

Combines Google, Outlook, Apple, Fastmail and other CalDAV calendars in one view, with calendar sets for switching between groups of them.

Scheduling links and booking page

Booking links let other people choose a meeting time, with your availability checked in real time.

Calendar automations

Syncs events between calendars to block time, and adds travel time and buffers around meetings automatically.

Motion

Automatic scheduling

A scheduling engine places tasks into openings on your calendar based on duration, priority and deadlines, and rebuilds the plan as the day changes.

Tasks and projects

Tasks sit inside projects and workspaces, and AI can draft a project and its tasks from a description. Timelines and Gantt charts need Business AI.

Calendar sync

Connects Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook (Office 365 and Exchange Online) and iCloud Calendar. The iCloud connection has a more limited feature set.

Booking links

A shareable link lets other people book meetings based on your real-time availability. You set rules for availability, duration, buffers and limits.

AI Notetaker

Captures transcripts from video calls and drafts summaries and action items, which you approve before they become tasks.

AI Chat and Docs

A chat interface creates items and searches workspace data, and collaborative docs include AI drafting. AI use draws on the plan's monthly credits.
