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.
