Easier Now vs Motion
Motion rewrites your calendar. Easier Now shows you one task.
Motion schedules your tasks into your calendar and moves them around as things change. Easier Now leaves your calendar alone and puts one task on screen.
Side by side
Both do more than a plain list. The difference is what happens to your calendar.
| Capability | Easier Now | Motion |
|---|---|---|
| What you see when you open it | One task, four buttons | A rescheduled calendar |
| Who moves your calendar | Nothing you marked strict | The app reschedules blocks |
| Overdue work handled one at a time | ||
| Estimates learn from your logged minutes | ||
| Points and a tree you can switch off | ||
| Two-way Google Calendar sync |
Where Motion is the better fit
If you want software to own your calendar and place every task in a slot, Motion does that well. People who live in their calendar and trust it to rearrange things get a lot from it.
Where Easier Now is the better fit
If you do not want your calendar rewritten, Easier Now does not touch it. You get one task at a time, sized to the hours between your meetings, and overdue work comes back one item at a time.
The difference is your calendar
Motion puts your tasks into calendar slots and moves those slots when things change. Some people want exactly that.
Easier Now reads your calendar and writes nothing back unless you ask it to. It counts the hours between your meetings and picks one task that fits.
If your tasks need more hours than you have, Easier Now shows you which ones will not fit today rather than compressing them into slots.
Questions about switching
I have abandoned every productivity app. Why would Easier Now be different?
Easier Now has nothing to maintain. There is no board to tidy, no weekly setup and no daily planning session. Miss a fortnight and you are handed the backlog one item at a time, with three buttons under each: skip it, do it today, or mark it done.
What happens when a client blows up my afternoon?
Press Optimise schedule and Easier Now works the rest of the day out again. Your strict commitments stay where they are, your flexible work is refitted into the hours that are left, and anything that no longer fits today is shown to you so you can move it or drop it.
