I found the sweet spot between Things 3 and Motion. It's called FlowSavvy.
If you know Things 3, you know what buttery-smooth UI feels like. If you've used Motion, you know what it feels like to have an app think for you. FlowSavvy somehow nails both. The drag-and-drop is silky, the visual design is genuinely beautiful, and when your schedule shifts, it recalculates everything almost instantly. No friction, no fuss. The whole point of a task manager is to get tasks out of your head, and FlowSavvy actually does that. I dump everything in, set priorities, and it handles the rest. That reduction in cognitive load is real and it's significant.

Hi Karl,
Thank you so much for your review and suggestions! I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we can improve!
Regarding the events from family members, if you have calendars from family members where some of the events do affect scheduling and some don't, the way to handle this is to turn off "Busy" on events that shouldn't affect the task scheduling. If you don't want that setting to sync back to the family member's calendar, you can have them share the calendar with you with "view only" permissions, which will then allow you to edit the "Busy" setting in FlowSavvy without syncing that back to their calendar.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this!
Thanks again!
