Seven planners that use AI to put your tasks into real hours — what each one actually automates, what it costs, and who it’s for.

Eight apps for giving every task a start and an end — from drag-it-yourself timelines to planners that block your day for you.

Six planners for people who want what Motion does — tasks placed on the calendar — for less than Motion’s $228 a year.

Five planners that help with time blindness, starting and getting back on track — and the honest trade-offs of each.

Six planners for people who like Sunsama’s calm but not the $204 a year — or who want the day to plan itself.
