Morgen Calendar

Morgen works with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar. It also works with Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, so no one is left out.

Morgen's task management features are barebones (e.g. you can add the name of a task + deadline), so most folks use it alongside a more comprehensive task tool like Todoist, ClickUp, Notion, or Linear. With that, you want to think of Morgen as your calendar + a tool that allows you to add tasks from third party tools to your calendar.

Sound familiar? Well, that's because it is. Akiflow and Sunsama have both very much dominated this space and have a ton of integrations with third party tools. This is one of the main reasons we've seen folk switch off of Morgen—they wanted more integrations that aren't currently offered yet.

This is what makes it tough though, because speaking from experience, when you need to "stay on top" of any task or project management tool, it's super easy to fall behind and before you know it your schedule is totally outdated.

Morgen's AI Planner creates a proposed schedule for your next 1–8 days based on information you created (task priority, availability, and due dates). They also have preview mode within the planner, which is where you'll see proposed tasks "pulse," letting you clearly see what's new. You can tweak, resize, remove, or reprioritize tasks before you decide to add to your schedule.

While it sounds good in theory, this does require you to sit down and "get organized" rather than just building out your day for you. As a busy business owner, I will tell you this is a "sounds nice" feature, but in the day to day, I want to show up and get to work.

Frames are Morgen’s way of helping you get intentional about when you work on certain types of tasks.

Think of them like reusable time templates. For example, you might block off 9–11am for "Deep Work" and 3–4pm for "Admin." Instead of deciding every single day when to focus or when to do lighter tasks, you set those patterns once.

Then that helps Morgen's AI planner to appropriately place tasks inside those frames. So if something is high priority and tagged as deep work, it’ll try to land in your "Deep Work" frame.

While my perfectionist mind truly loves the idea of having perfectly set aside time for similar tasks, unfortunately, this isn't the reality of how I work 90%. As a business owner, I am thrown into unblocking team members, writing a script, then editing a review within a matter of an afternoon.

Once you have tasks inside the system, the AI has placed them on your calendar, and you have approved, the AI will try to make your schedule more realistic. For example, it will automatically add a little buffer to your task estimates. So, if you're the type to underestimate how long your tasks are going to take, then this is a small but helpful way to counter that.

Not different from other planners, but still a nice-to-have feature, the AI scheduler also splits up your work. Instead of dropping a giant multi-hour block onto your calendar, Morgen helps you fit them more naturally into your day by splitting them across multiple sessions.

Lastly, unlike tools like Motion that automatically shift your schedule around to adjust for overdue or missed items, Morgen will suggest a new time rather than reorganize based on your selection.

It gives you more control over your schedule, but that also means it comes with added mental load of needing another "to do" to approve the tasks.

You get access to the meeting scheduling feature on the paid tier of Morgen. With that, the meeting scheduler is very basic, as in, your guest can choose a meeting time and add a note when scheduling.

If you're a business that likes to ask a handful of questions when someone schedules a call with you (like us), you'll be left empty-handed as Morgen doesn't allow for any questions as a part of the scheduling process.

Morgen Calendar Meeting Scheduler is quite barebones. For instance, you cannot ask any custom questions via your booking link.

While Morgen is working on developing more professional/team features, it's not quite there yet compared to what else is available on the market. For instance, when scheduling team meetings, Morgen Calendar will show a ✅ or ❌ or 🟠 If it is a good, bad, or mediocre time to schedule a meeting with your team mates based on their schedules. That said, this is a manual feature, while tools like Reclaim automatically do this.

We'd recommend Morgen more for individuals who want a better calendar, or individuals who have a handful of tasks to get done (especially personal tasks) instead of diving into it as a team.

If you want a full-fledged daily planner to serve as the power horse to your work or business, we'd recommend checking out Motion, Akiflow, or Sunsama.

Morgen Assist allows you to create custom workflows. For example, the Morgen Assist "Team Focus" feature reschedules your team's flexible meetings to decrease staggered meetings, and instead give team members more time for focus work.

Another Morgen Assist feature is adding travel time to and from events. This is pretty cool, although there is a ton of room for error as it only calculates the distance based on the address you "typically leave from", so if you're in a different part of town, the estimated travel time will be incorrect.

It looks like Morgen Assist is where Morgen Calendar is trying to differentiate themselves a bit, although the workflows that currently exist are more or less baked into other daily planners out of the gate (e.g. Motion allows for travel time, buffer time between meetings, and calendar aggregation, and Reclaim pretty much owns the Team Meeting Optimizer space).

Overall, these are features that will surely come in handy, but we're just wanting to see a bit more from Morgen in terms of differentiation.

Morgen Calendar Integations

Morgen integrates with video conferencing tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Project/Task Management tools such as Notion, ClickUp, Linear, and Todoist.

If you're using another project management tool, you can try using Zapier to build a custom connection, but this is where most folks will start peeking at Akiflow or Sunsama that already have native integrations built in.

Morgen has a iOS and Android app that will allow you to add calendar events and simple tasks.
