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.

Trevor AI

Task Hub

Tasks are organized in lists with colors and notes, and lists can be shared with other people. Todoist, Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do sync both ways in real time.

Drag-and-drop time blocking

Dragging a task from the Task Hub onto the calendar creates a time block, which is written to a chosen scheduling calendar in Google or Microsoft.

AI scheduling and Plan My Day

The AI predicts task durations and shows suggested slots to accept with one click. Plan My Day drafts a plan for the visible days that can be accepted in bulk.

Focus Mode

Opens a single task with a timer, a notes field and an AI-generated five-step breakdown to help you get started.

Ask Trevor

A chat assistant that can add, schedule and reschedule tasks, including in bulk, and find tasks on the calendar. It is listed as a Pro feature.

Progress and reports

A dashboard charts scheduled and completed tasks and hours per list. Task-hour and billable-hour reports can be exported to PDF.
