Beyond Time vs. Motion
Schedule Automation Isn't Time Mastery
Motion schedules tasks. Beyond Time defines what deserves scheduling. Start with goals and pillars, then let AI optimize, track, and audit across your entire life.
Motion is a trademark of Use Motion. We respect their scheduler—we just built the full operating system.
Where Motion Stops
Perfectly scheduled mediocrity is still mediocrity. Here's why automation without intention leaves you busy—not better.
Focuses on meetings and tasks, not life pillars—health, sleep, family time are still on you.
Optimizes calendars but doesn’t tell you if the plan worked. There’s no planned-vs-actual insight.
No built-in goals/OKRs. You still need another system to define what matters.
AI reschedules tasks, but it won’t design routines or habits to support long-term change.
Requires integration with other apps for notes, reflections, and analytics, adding subscription sprawl.
Motion vs. Beyond Time
Automation vs. transformation.
Principle
Core Philosophy
Motion
Motion is an AI scheduler—it auto-assigns tasks to your calendar to minimize conflicts.
Beyond Time
Beyond Time is an AI time mastery OS—define goals, build routines, track habits, and analyze every 15-minute block across life pillars.
Principle
Outcome Tracking
Motion
Measures task completion and schedule adherence, but not progress toward goals or pillars.
Beyond Time
Tracks milestones, goal percentages, and pillar balance so every block you schedule ladders up to a measurable result.
Principle
Habit & Routine Engine
Motion
No native habit tracker. You still rely on separate tools for routines and streaks.
Beyond Time
AI builds and tracks routines automatically (Work, Health, Sleep, Life) with frequency rules, streaks, and context-aware suggestions.
Principle
Time Audits
Motion
Great at planning but doesn’t analyze actual vs. planned. You must export data if you want insights.
Beyond Time
Audits are built in—see where time actually went vs. where it should go, then get AI recommendations to close the gap.
Principle
Accessibility
Motion
Premium-only with a focus on desktop workflows.
Beyond Time
Free web planner plus iOS app and Pro mobile features, so anyone can start today and scale when ready.
Why Beyond Time Wins
Because you need more than a rearranged task list.
Goal-First Design
Set OKRs, milestones, and routines before scheduling. Motion schedules tasks; Beyond Time engineers your life.
Life Pillar Balance
Measure Work, Health, Sleep, and Life every week. No AI scheduler ensures you actually live in balance—Beyond Time does.
AI Coach Included
Daily reflections, habit suggestions, and personalized recommendations give you a partner, not just a scheduling assistant.
