Motion manages work tasks. UCals manages your entire life.
$15/month — half the price of Motion, with conversational AI for your whole schedule.
WHY SWITCH
What you get with UCals that Motion doesn’t offer.
Conversational AI, not rules-based
Motion makes you configure rules and priorities upfront. UCals lets you speak naturally — "move gym to 9" — and it just happens. No setup, no rule-writing, no priority matrices.
Your whole life, not just work
Motion focuses on work tasks and project deadlines. UCals manages 11 life categories — meals, exercise, travel, sleep, lessons, free time, and more. Your calendar reflects how you actually live.
60-second setup, not days of configuration
Motion requires days to configure task priorities, deadlines, and scheduling rules before it works well. UCals: download, connect Google Calendar, type your first command. Done.
Multi-currency cost tracking
Track what your week costs right on each event — gym in dollars, lessons in baht, dinner in euros. Motion has no cost tracking at all.
Per-day customization
Your Monday gym is at the hotel. Thursday’s is across town. UCals lets every day have its own locations, times, and notes. Motion applies the same rules to every day.
Half the price
UCals is $15/month. Motion’s Individual plan is $29/month — and their Team and Enterprise tiers cost even more. You get conversational AI for your entire life at half the cost.

EARLY ACCESS
What beta testers are saying.
1,200+ people on the waitlist
I said "cancel all meetings Wednesday and move my gym to 9am" — two changes, one sentence. I can't go back to dragging events around.

The cost tracking alone is worth it. I can see exactly what my week costs across three currencies. No spreadsheet, no app switching.

Setup took literally 60 seconds. Connected Google Calendar, typed my first command, and it just worked. I was on Reclaim for months trying to configure rules.

Questions
How is UCals different from Motion?
Motion auto-schedules work tasks by having you configure rules, deadlines, and priorities. UCals manages your entire life through natural conversation. Say "move gym to 9" or "cancel all meetings Wednesday" and it happens instantly. No rules to configure, no priorities to rank — just tell it what you want.
Can UCals do auto-scheduling like Motion?
UCals takes a different approach. Instead of configuring rules and letting an algorithm decide where to put things, you tell UCals what you want in plain English and it executes immediately. "Add 30 minutes of prep before my investor call" — done. You stay in control of every decision while UCals handles the execution.
Is it really half the price?
Yes. UCals is $15/month (or $10/month billed annually). Motion’s Individual plan is $29/month, and their Team and Enterprise plans cost more. UCals has one simple plan with everything included — no feature gates, no tiered pricing.
Can I switch from Motion to UCals?
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar and you’re set in 60 seconds. Your existing events sync automatically — nothing to migrate, nothing to rebuild. If your Motion events are in Google Calendar, they’ll appear in UCals immediately.
Does UCals work for teams?
UCals is currently designed for individuals who want to manage their entire life — not just work — through conversation. If you’re looking for team task scheduling, Motion may be a better fit today. Team features for UCals are on the roadmap.
What if I need task management too?
UCals focuses on calendar management — scheduling, rescheduling, conflict detection, cost tracking, and life organization. Pair it with your existing task tool (Todoist, Linear, Notion) and let UCals handle the calendar side. You get the best of both worlds at a lower total cost.

Founder & DeveloperI built UCals because I was spending 20 minutes every Sunday rebuilding my calendar for the week ahead. I wanted an assistant that understood plain English and just handled it.
