What is Motion used for?
Our take on Motion.
Motion is an AI-powered smart calendar that analyzes your workload, deadlines and free slots to automatically schedule your tasks at the best possible time. You enter a task with a deadline — Motion decides when to do it.
The Pro AI plan at $19/month (≈€17.48) includes unlimited automatic scheduling, meeting management, smart reminders and 7,500 AI credits/month. In practice: if a meeting gets added, Motion reorganizes your entire schedule without you having to.
Difference from Notion or Todoist: Motion is a real AI scheduler — it doesn't ask you to plan yourself, it does it for you. For freelancers and consultants juggling multiple projects simultaneously, it's a real time saver.
