A Motion alternative for consultants who bill by the hour
Motion schedules your day. Klarity schedules your day and connects it to the clients you bill — time tracking, unbilled hours by client, and invoices, in the same system.
Motion plans your day. It doesn't know who you're billing.
Motion's auto-scheduling is built for a single person's calendar and task list. It doesn't have a concept of a client, a rate, or an invoice — so the hours it plans never turn into what someone owes you.
Motion schedules the work. It doesn't bill it. Auto-scheduling ends at the calendar — there's no timer, no client rate, and nothing that becomes an invoice.
Every task is just a task. Motion has no idea this one is for Client A and that one is for Client B, so there's no way to see unbilled hours per client.
Multiple tools, one plan. A separate time tracker and a separate invoicing app still have to sit next to Motion — three subscriptions instead of one.

What Klarity doesn't do
Motion's AI chat, meeting notetaker and AI-drafted docs have no equivalent in Klarity — Klarity schedules and bills, it doesn't generate content.
No import from Motion or a spreadsheet. Tasks and clients are added directly in Klarity today.
Motion's Business/Team plans show workload across a team; Klarity's auto-scheduling plans one person's day at a time.
The practical details
Can I import my Motion tasks into Klarity?
Not yet. You add clients and tasks directly in Klarity today — there's no Motion or spreadsheet import.
Does Klarity do anything Motion doesn't?
Yes: Klarity ties every task and tracked hour to a client and a rate, rolls up unbilled hours per client, and drafts the invoice from them. Motion has no billing at all.
Which calendars does Klarity connect to?
Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 and iCloud, plus other CalDAV calendars and read-only ICS feeds.
Is there a free trial?
30 days, all features included. A card is required to start it and Pro begins automatically after the trial; cancel anytime before then.
