What it is

Overview

Motion addresses the productivity chaos that professionals face when juggling multiple tools for tasks, projects, calendars, and documentation. Traditional productivity systems require constant manual updates and fail to optimize across different work streams, leaving users overwhelmed by endless task lists and conflicting priorities. Motion targets busy professionals, teams, and businesses who need intelligent automation to manage their complex workflows.

“I know I'm not even making the most of Motion's capabilities, but since I started using it regularly it has saved me so much time. Forwarding tasks via email is a huge plus for me, as was switching to Motion's notetaker and reviewing the action items it AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURES from calls (!!), which has probably saved me hours of personal to-do list management and in client follow-up. The secret and totally unexpected star for me, though, is the "executive coach" review of call transcripts. Whil”

“The AI hallucinates a lot and give you too many action items, things that you never discussed in a meeting. Although I have corrected names multiple times, it still get's them wrong. And the AI calendar booking is overwhelming. It doesn't have good prioritisation, so schedules whatever it wants when you have higher priority items to tackle. Overall bad experience.”

POSITIVE trustpilot

“Motion App has been amazing for my daily life. It significantly reduces the time I spend planning and organizing, allowing me to focus more on actually getting things done. The way it automatically prioritizes tasks and schedules everything efficiently has been a game-changer for my productivity. Highly recommend for anyone looking to simplify and optimize their workflow.”

POSITIVE trustpilot

“I run multiple projects and teams, and some days I honestly would not be able to find my head if it were screwed on. What has helped me most is Motion. It keeps me organized, but more importantly, it helps me mentally shift from one project to the next while staying focused on real priorities. I highly recommend it for ambitious people juggling a lot at once. ”

“I've been using Motion for 3 years now, have tried just about every daily planner, project manager, and AI scheduler tool on the market. I have been long-time missing Sunrise Calendar . Motion has replaced Asana, TickTick, and Google Calendar for me (and my team). The main point of value is just being able to totally disconnect from what you need to do next. It does a good job at prioritizing the work that needs to get done based on deadlines and urgency. So whenever I go to the app for the ”

“Very disappointing experience with Motionly I cancelled my subscription through Motionly three days before the payment was taken, yet money was still withdrawn from my account. The price advertised to me was also lower than the amount I was ultimately charged, which was very concerning. My bank even suggested cancelling my card, but because I had manually cancelled the subscription through Motionly, I believed that would be enough to prevent any further charges. Based on my experience, I woul”

“Disappointing: The possibility of this app/calendar is great. I see the potential. The problem is, that it is full of bugs and in need of constant updates. It constantly “loses” events and fails to place them on the calendar in a consistent manner. Which leads to searching for them and refreshing the page more than anyone should have to. As a person who is constantly on the go and needs information at my fingertips, it’s unreliable and has left me in a lurch several times at crucial moments. I w”

“I loved Motion, but Reclaim was much cheaper, so I went with it. Although I chose it for its price, I've come to love it for its features and the extremely responsive customer service. The one bad thing about Reclaim--and it's a massive drawback and oversight, IMO--is that it doesn't have dependencies and projects . I honestly can't fathom why Reclaim would overlook something so huge, but it's cheap, responsive, and otherwise-feature-heavy enough that I use it every day and recommend it freq”

“I have been a past user of Motion. I struggled because there were no tutorials like this. Recently, with the release of AI Agents, I am returning. This video is easily the best tutorial on YT!!!!! Far and away the most comprehensive and deepest while not getting bogged down. The pacing, the presentation, the production value are all tier-1. Well done!!”

“Where to start. This is exactly how I felt when I first came across their UI. There are so many options that I had no idea where to focus my attention. There are so many features and buttons that it seems like it's a full-time job just adding data into the system. I have no idea how to use the AI agents in a way that makes sense for my workflow. Maybe I thought this platform was going to be more helpful for helping me with GTM management but it actually seems more useful for project managers ”

“They are scammers, using black hat UI design in order for users not to noticed that after a 7 days trial they will be billed for the whole year and that they have unknowingly subscribed for 5 team members. Also, all positive reviews hear clearly seem purchased and have been given by people with only 1 or 2 reviews! ”

“App missing key functionality - ADHD user: As someone who is on the go most of the time, Motion is borderline unusable when half of it's functionality is limited to the desktop UI. I find myself constantly frustrated because I can only do half of what I need to and have to put things on hold until I can sit down with my laptop. For those with ADHD hoping to use this for task management, if you're the type that needs to get things down before they escape your brain for good, just a warning. I hav”
