Key Features

Viewing Tasks and Events

• Today’s schedule at a glance: The widget displays today’s tasks and events by default, so you’re always up-to-date.

• Clear differentiation: Tasks and events are listed with distinct icons and colors, making it easy to differentiate between the two.

• Complete tasks: Finish tasks directly from the widget – no need to open the app.

• Join events: If an event is online, join it right from the widget.

• Open maps: For events with an address, open maps straight from the widget.

Creating Tasks and Events

• Quick add task: Use the motion + button within the widget to add a new task or event.

• And quick event creation: Adding a new event opens the app with the event form ready to go.

Customization

The widget comes in two sizes, medium and large, and in beautiful light mode and dark mode to fit your preference and screen space.

Getting Started

To start using the Motion Mobile Widget, simply add it to your home screen and customize it according to your needs. We’re confident that this new feature will help streamline your daily routine and keep you organized like never before.

Why Motion's Mobile App is Invaluable for Daily Productivity

The Motion mobile app’s intuitive design makes it an effective companion to the desktop app. While it does not offer the same robust standalone experience provided by the Desktop App; it mirrors the desktop app's core functionality, ensuring product familiarity while still being optimized for mobile use.

Why the Mobile App Stands Out:

• Familiar Flow Across Platforms: The mobile app maintains consistency with the desktop experience, ensuring smooth transitions between devices. A simplified, easy-to-navigate design that mimics the desktop layout.

• Seamless Task/Event Creation: Tap directly on the calendar to quickly and efficiently add new tasks and events. For iOS users, create tasks hands-free using Siri resulting in minimal effort and maximum output.

• Core Feature Tabs at Your Fingertips: Projects, Calendars, Booking, and Settings tabs are organized for quick access; streamlining your task, and event management.

• Dedicated Search Tab: Quickly and efficiently search for tasks, events, and projects so you never lose track of your assignments.

• Synchronized Flow: Task and project updates made on mobile instantly reflect on the desktop app, and vice versa.
