Frequently asked questions

Morgen can calculate and schedule travel time for any event in your calendar with a location. You configure the travel time workflow with your primary mode of transportation, base address, and any additional buffer you would like added to travel blocks. Morgen then applies this information, along with the time of day, using Google Maps, to provide a realistic estimate of travel time required.

‍

This workflow can be configured and activated by selecting the workflow icon on the left side of your Morgen desktop app or going directly to the Morgen platform. Note: Travel time can be scheduled by Morgen Assist in Google, Outlook, iCloud, and Fastmail calendars only.

Yes, Morgen integrates with Microsoft To Do, allowing you to view, manage, and schedule your tasks directly within your calendar through Morgen.

Morgen can automatically schedule buffer time before or after meetings, giving you time to transition from one event to another, prepare, or just grab a coffee. You configure the workflow to set the duration of your desired buffers, including whether you want longer buffers following long meetings, as well as which calendars should have buffer time added. Then, once turned on, Morgen will automatically add your buffers as meetings are scheduled. If those meetings are shifted to a new time, the associated buffer will follow.

‍

Configure and turn on the buffer time automation by clicking on the workflow icon on the left side of Morgen's desktop app or going directly to the Morgen platform. Note that the buffer time workflow can only be used with Outlook, Google, iCloud, and Fastmail calendars.

Yes, marking a task as complete in Morgen will sync and reflect the updated status in Microsoft To Do, ensuring consistency across tools.

Morgen's AI Planner analyzes your tasks and creates time-blocked schedules based on several factors:

• Morgen Priority Factor
• Your capacity
• How you work best

The AI Planner provides recommendations, such as which tasks should be time blocked today or this week, when an incomplete task should be rescheduled, or how to resolve a scheduling conflict.

A benefit of using Morgen is the ability to manage all your calendars together, giving you a holistic view of your time. Each calendar you connect in Morgen will be displayed in a different color to make them easily distinguishable. You can further customize this by:

1. Selecting custom colors for each calendar.
2. Assigning each calendar the appropriate name (ie. work, family, personal)
3. Assigning each calendar to a calendar set, ultimately giving it a short cut for quickly jumping between calendars

When you connect a calendar or task app to Morgen, you can decide whether to connect it to the Morgen Cloud. By doing so, you will be able to use these tools in conjunction with certain Morgen experiences such as:

• Mobile apps
• Scheduling links and Open invites
• Team availability

You can choose which integrations to connect to the Cloud. For information on how Morgen protects your data you can review our privacy policy.

Morgen can be downloaded on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. If you have devices across a mix of platforms, your Morgen experience will remain consistent and in-sync across devices.

Currently, Morgen is now available on web browsers, but this work is currently in development and will be available soon.

Morgen is a desktop-first app. Our mobile app, available on iOS and Android, is a companion app. With the mobile app you can manage your calendars and tasks on the go, while also getting mobile notifications or using the widget to see what's coming up on your schedule. However, certain features, such as creating Scheduling links or using the AI Planner, are only available on the desktop app.

We recommend you start by downloading and configuring the desktop app before using the mobile app.

If your tasks, be they Morgen tasks or tasks from an integrated source such as Todoist, Notion, or ClickUp, have due dates, you can opt to display those in your calendar. Due dates are displayed with a little grey flag to make them easily distinguished from scheduled tasks.

To display due dates, click on View in the task panel, then check the option to Display due dates in the calendar. You will need to do this for each integration, making it easy to choose which task source should have displayed due dates.

Learn more in this guide.

The AI Planner recommends which tasks to schedule when based on your capacity, preferences, Frames, and prioritization based on the Morgen Priority Factor. But the recommended plan is just that—a recommendation.

While in preview mode, you'll notice the proposed tasks will pulsate to highlight which tasks are being proposed. You can modify the plan during this stage by opting to unschedule something, changing the duration or order of tasks, or even pulling a different task into the calendar. Once you are satisfied with the plan click on the Schedule all button. Alternatively, if you don't want to use the recommended plan, simply click on the X in the upper left to close the AI Planner.

Morgen's AI Planner will alert you when a scheduling conflict arises with a previously scheduled task. For instance, if you had a task scheduled for 10am and a meeting has now been booked at that time, you will see a message in Morgen alerting you to the conflict. It will provide quick options for you to choose from:

1. Have the AI Planner reschedule the task ASAP
2. Repriotize with the AI Planner (this will may moving adjusting other scheduled tasks to make time for the highest priority one first)
3. Unschedule the task

You can also choose to manually reschedule the task if you prefer.

Frames are a great way to template how you want to spend your time. You can think of a Frame as a calendar for tasks and are helpful to guide you and the AI Planner as to which types of tasks should be scheduled when. Frames are a deep layer in your calendar and can be scheduled over by events.

‍

Where Frames become particularly powerful, is when you assign a task filter to the Frame, essentially to dedicating the time to a specific kind of work - be it for deep work, studying, quick wins, or a creative project. Once you assign a task filter to the Frame, the AI Planner can schedule the right types of tasks at your ideal time. Learn more about how to make the most of Frames in this guide.

Yes, Morgen allows you to filter tasks, including those from Microsoft To Do, enabling you to focus on specific task lists or priorities.

When you mark a task as complete in Morgen:

- The task's status updates to complete within Morgen

- The completion status syncs back to the corresponding task in Obsidian

- For recurring tasks, a new instance is generated upon completion of the previous one

You can choose which Todoist projects or filters to import. For example, you can sync:

- Tasks with due dates

- Tasks assigned to you

- High-priority tasks This way, only the most relevant tasks show up in Morgen for planning.

When setting up the integration, you can choose:

- Which workspaces and teams to include

- Whether to import all issues assigned to you or only those that are not yet started or have been started

- Specific properties and labels from Linear to display in Morgen, such as due dates, priority levels, cycles, and estimates

Guide here.

When setting up your Notion integration, you can choose to import:

- All tasks or only tasks with due dates

- Tasks assigned to you, or all team tasks

- Specific views or databases

If you configure a status property only incomplete tasks you can also configure which task properties (e.g. status, deadline, tags) appear in Morgen for quick context.

When you mark a reminder as complete in Morgen:

- It's archived and removed from your task list

- A checkmark appears on the scheduled task in your calendar

- The status updates to complete in Apple Reminders

Morgen integrates with various calendars, including Outlook, iCloud, Google, Fastmail, and other CalDAV services. You can schedule Linear issues across any of these connected calendars. We recommend that you set a default calendar for scheduled issues in the settings (ex. if you use Linear at work, have your work calendar as the default for time blocking). You can always choose a different calendar for individual tasks as needed.
