Hey Product Hunt! We are releasing our biggest product update to date: Motion Task Manager. With the addition of this functionality, Motion can now manage every part of your day for you - tasks, internal meetings, external meetings, routines, personal commitments - so that you'll never need to manually plan or re-prioritize your schedule. When conflicts happen, things don't go according to plan, or emergencies come in - Motion will resolve them and update your schedule to your liking, automatically. The old way: manually plan and manage your schedule 👎  Write down a massive to-do list each day. Feel discouraged when you don’t finish everything. 👎  Spend 25 minutes prioritizing tasks every day. And waste 5 minutes figuring out what’s next when you finish a task. 👎  Reschedule everything when tasks take longer than expected or meetings run over. 👎  Stay up at night wondering if you forgot about a project or deadline. 👎  Stress when back-to-back meetings fill your day. And you need to work nights to actually get work done. 👎  Keep reopening your to-do lists and calendars every few hours to remember what you need to do next. 👎  Work bleeds into your personal life. And you sacrifice your mental and physical health to get stuff done. New new way: let Motion create an optimized schedule with AI that constantly updates as new information comes in ✅  **Feel good when you check off everything.** Motion builds a daily schedule for you and automatically adds tasks directly to your calendar and schedule. To make sure you actually do them. ✅  **Know exactly what to do next.** Motion prioritizes your tasks based on your deadlines, meetings, and how many hours you work each week. ✅  **Don’t worry when plans change.** Motion will shift your uncompleted tasks to new times and days. ✅  **Never forget about a project deadline again.** Motion will put the highest priority tasks on your task calendar first, so you complete them on time. ✅  **Limit your meetings.** Set a daily hour limit for meetings. Motion won’t allow people to schedule meetings on a day where the limit is exceeded. ✅  **View your calendar, meetings, and to-do list all in one place.** No more toggling between. Motion takes your outdated to-do list and calendar and combines them into one — a task calendar. ✅ **Take care of yourself.** Create recurring tasks for exercising, meditating, eating, and reading. And Motion will block time on your calendar for self care. Check the new Motion out at http://usemotion.com and let us know what you think!

WOW! I think I either stumbled upon an earlier version of Motion in the past, or a similar service. At the time it didn’t look fully fleshed-out, but this definitely does. If it really does everything it claims, then 20$/mo is a steal. The thing is I feel that the 5-day trial is too short for me to judge whether Motion would make a noticeable difference in my workflow. 2 weeks (at least — one month would be better) would make much more sense. Plus, after a longer trial, it’d guess it’s more likely that the user ends up subscribing, since they‘ll have gotten used to working with Motion and won’t want to go back to the old way. Thoughts ?makers

I found Motion a short 5 months ago from an Instagram Ad when responding to a friend (as someone who never goes on IG, I was glad I did that day). Here's why: Day 1: Was immediately impressed, but thought wow, that's not a long trial. Day 2: Something clicked - the most thoughtful scheduler I've ever seen, a better calendar manager I've ever used (ex-Woven + ex-VIMCal + ex-Sunrise user). Invited my team member to get more value + purchased the annual tier of Motion without regret. Day 4: Team onboard and beginning to collaborate with team scheduling, flexible team events, more focus time opportunities, feeling good. Day 30: Feeling like I need to show all my clients, family, and friends Motion. Converted a handful of people into paying customers (moving over from Calendly/ChiliPiper/Woven) Day 85: Motion Task Manager Beta invitation - "wait, this thing is going to be a project manager? Wow, this team moves fast" Day 90: Continuing to play around, seems cool, but highly skeptical as an Asana Certified Pro (consultant) and user of 6 years - still impressed with the scheduler + calendar. Day 100: Supplying tons of feedback (the team was hellbent on making it work for a strange user like me and my partner who are super opinionated about when they want to do what tasks). Little to no chance we're switching from Asana, but intrigued by the team. Day 130: Blown away by the task management deadline functionality, covers all my use-cases (from small reminders, to huge projects that require splitting it into chunks), automatic free/busy time blocking depending on deadline. Full page task management tied to projects, and so much iteration. See the vision of tasks being added to my calendar. Realization that "wow... All of this was built in just over a month? Other products iterate SO SLOW" Day 150: Android & iOS app released, task manager released publicly, Motion is an entirely different product in all of 2 months time. Blown away by the team, product, and vision. Now believe that I can be swayed away from Asana (believe me, didn't think this was possible). Can't even fathom what'll come in another 5-6 months from now. Impressive team. Day 151 (Today): Highly encourage you to give it a shot. I've never had this experience with any other product.

Hey I love it! Does it work on all devices?

Love all of the progress your team has made!

By far the best productivity tool I have ever had!! Worth every penny🎉

wow..this looks awsome..good product

I have struggled with using task managers for ages and motion just works for me. There are tons of thoughtful product decisions that help me combat cognitive overwhelm and stay on top of my day (the daily meeting cap, the focus banner, soft deadlines… all magic as far as I’m concerned). 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Looks interesting=)

Motion is simply the best tool. I’d hesitate to call it a productivity app only because that makes it sound like there are many other products to compare it against - the reality is that I’ve never used a tool that comes close to Motion in helping me focus, keep track of tasks, schedule time with my teammates, etc. It’s hard to choose a favorite feature but here’s one that is simply brilliant: Motion makes it easier to find a good time to pick when someone sends you a Calendly link. When you click the link Motion pops up and shows you the Calendly time slots superimposed on your own calendar. Genius. It’s this level of product thoughtfulness that makes this product (and the incredibly responsive team behind it) so special.

Motion is changing the way I think about time management and task management. Incredible team and product. Highly recommend checking it out!

This looks awesome! Congrats to the team!

Wow, looks interesting, congrats with a good launch!

Love that kind of tool ;) Congrats on the launch and thanks for sharing :)

Big fan of Motion! Saves me a ton of time and UX is wonderful

I've been through my fair share of task management applications, not to mention calendar and scheduling applications as well so I had SaaS product burnout and refused to try Motion at first when my brother recommended it. I'm really glad that he didn't let me write it off so quickly because Motion has definitely become my most important productivity tool. All I can say is that this is a product from a team that understands UX and the value of your time. I don't feel like I piled another dependency onto my workspace requirements, I feel like I've simplified it by switching away from Keep and Calendly to Motion.

This is by far one of the best things I have seen on Product Hunt. I'm going to try it out!

This is very helpful, thanks for sharing :)

Awesome new product again saving time for users!

Interesting Approach!
