Switching / Motion
Diarized: a Motion alternative
An all-in-one workspace (tasks, projects, docs and calendar) that auto-schedules the work you keep inside it.
What is different here
Motion schedules the tasks you keep in Motion. Its only built-in ways to get work in are forwarding an email and asking Siri; anything else goes through Zapier or their API. So using it means your to-do list moves house, and the app you were happy with becomes the one you stop opening. Diarized reads the list you already keep and never asks you to retype it.
Moving over
- Export or copy anything that only exists in Motion back into a real to-do app: Todoist, TickTick, ClickUp, whichever you used before.
- Connect that app to Diarized, and connect the calendar you want blocks written to.
- Turn off Motion's calendar sync before your first run, or you will briefly see both tools' blocks for the same work.
Motion has no free plan, only a trial. Pro AI is $19 a seat a month and Business AI is $29 a seat a month, with about a third off if you pay for a year (checked 12 August 2026). Diarized is $5 a month, and free for one task app and one calendar.
What you keep
- Your to-do list stays where it is. Diarized reads Asana, Google Tasks, Todoist, Microsoft To Do, Notion, TickTick, Linear, Jira and ClickUp, and writes nothing back except the blocks you asked for.
- Your calendar stays yours. Blocks go into Google or Outlook, so you keep reading your day in whatever you already use.
- Your history stays intact. Nothing is imported, so there is nothing to export if you leave again.
Start free One task app and one calendar, at no cost, with no card.
