Morgen Calendar Review: Does Multi-Calendar Consolidation Actually Work?

·8 min read

By Chaos Content Team

Managing multiple calendars is painful. Work calendar, personal calendar, shared family calendar, project-specific calendars—they fragment your schedule view.

Morgen Calendar promises to consolidate them into unified interface with smart scheduling across all calendars simultaneously.

The question: Does it actually solve multi-calendar chaos, or just add another app to the stack?

After 30 days managing three calendars (work Google, personal iCloud, shared Outlook family calendar), here's the honest assessment.

The Multi-Calendar Problem

Scenario: You have work meeting on Google Calendar, personal dentist appointment on iCloud, and kids' school event on shared Outlook calendar.

Native calendar apps show one calendar at a time.

Problem:

  • Checking availability requires toggling between three apps
  • Double-booking across calendars is easy
  • Scheduling new events requires guessing which calendar to use
  • No unified view of actual availability

Worse: Most scheduling tools (Calendly, Cal.com) only connect to one calendar. Can't check true availability across all calendars.

What Morgen Promises

Unified view: All calendars in one interface.

Smart scheduling: Check availability across all calendars simultaneously.

Scheduling links: Share availability considering all calendars, not just one.

Task integration: Connect tasks with calendar events.

Time zone handling: Automatic conversion for distributed teams.

Pricing: Free tier (basic features) + Pro ($14/month) for power features.

30-Day Testing Setup

Calendars connected:

  1. Work Google Calendar: Meetings, deadlines, focus blocks (15-20 events/week)
  2. Personal iCloud Calendar: Appointments, personal commitments (5-8 events/week)
  3. Shared Outlook Calendar: Family events, kids' activities (3-5 events/week)

Testing criteria:

  • Sync speed and reliability
  • Unified view usability
  • Scheduling workflow improvement
  • Conflict prevention
  • Time saved vs. native apps

Week 1: Setup and Initial Impressions

Setup: Connected three calendars in 5 minutes. Straightforward OAuth connections.

First impression: Unified view is gorgeous. All events color-coded by calendar. Immediately saw conflicts I'd missed before.

Discovered: Had double-booked work meeting and personal appointment on same Tuesday. Neither calendar app showed conflict because events were on different calendars.

Value unlocked immediately.

Week 2-3: Workflow Integration

Daily workflow:

Morning: Open Morgen, see complete day across all calendars.

Scheduling: When someone requests meeting, check Morgen for true availability considering work, personal, and family commitments.

Conflicts: Morgen highlights overlaps across calendars (different colours). Easy to spot and reschedule.

Results:

  • Zero double-bookings in Weeks 2-3 (had 2-3/month previously)
  • Time saved: ~10 min/day not toggling between calendar apps
  • Mental clarity: Actually know true availability

Week 4: Advanced Features Testing

Tested Pro features ($14/month):

1. Scheduling links

Created "book meeting with me" link that checks all three calendars.

Compared to Calendly:

  • Calendly checks one calendar
  • Morgen checks three calendars (shows true availability)

Value: Significant. No more "that time works on my work calendar but I have dentist appointment."

2. Task integration

Connected Todoist. Tasks appear on calendar as time blocks.

Usefulness: Moderate. Nice to see tasks on calendar, but didn't change workflow dramatically.

3. Time zone conversion

Automatic for distributed team meetings.

Usefulness: High for global teams. Less relevant for local-only work.

What Works Exceptionally Well

1. Unified View Is Transformative

Seeing all commitments—work, personal, family—in one place eliminates mental fragmentation.

Before Morgen: "I think Thursday afternoon is free... let me check Google... and iCloud... and Outlook..."

With Morgen: Glance at Thursday. See everything. Done.

Time saved: ~10 minutes/day checking availability.

Mental load reduced: Significant. One source of truth for schedule.

2. Conflict Prevention

Colour-coded overlaps across calendars prevent double-booking.

Testing result: Zero double-bookings in 30 days vs. 2-3/month previously.

Value: Priceless if you've experienced double-booking embarrassment.

3. Sync Speed and Reliability

Events synced within 5-10 seconds across all calendars.

Tested: Created event on Google Calendar, appeared in Morgen within 5 seconds. Modified event on iCloud, updated in Morgen within 8 seconds.

Reliability: Flawless. No sync failures in 30 days.

This alone might justify Pro subscription for busy people.

Scenario: Someone books meeting via your Morgen link.

Morgen checks: Work calendar (available), personal calendar (dentist 2pm), family calendar (kids pickup 3pm).

Offers: Only truly available slots considering all calendars.

Comparison: Calendly/Cal.com check single calendar. Can still double-book across separate calendars.

What Doesn't Work (or Isn't Special)

1. Task Integration Is Basic

Morgen shows tasks on calendar. That's it.

No:

  • Task creation within Morgen (must use task app)
  • Smart scheduling of tasks (Motion/Reclaim do this better)
  • Task-event conversion

Verdict: Nice-to-have, not game-changing. Dedicated task managers (Todoist, Things) are superior.

2. Mobile App Is Just OK

Desktop app is excellent. Mobile app is... adequate.

Issues:

  • Slightly slower than native calendar apps
  • Doesn't replace native apps for quick glances
  • Widgets less polished than Apple Calendar

Reality: Still used native iOS Calendar for quick checks on phone. Morgen for desktop scheduling.

3. No AI Scheduling (Yet)

Morgen shows availability. Doesn't suggest optimal times or automatically reschedule like Motion/Reclaim.

Example: Meeting gets cancelled. Morgen shows free time. Doesn't suggest moving other meetings to optimize calendar.

Missed opportunity: Could intelligently consolidate meeting blocks or suggest focus time.

4. Price for Pro Features

$14/month feels steep for calendar consolidation.

Pro features:

  • Scheduling links (high value)
  • Custom branding
  • Unlimited calendar connections (free has 3)
  • Task integration (moderate value)

Worth it? Depends on scheduling link usage.

If you share availability frequently (sales, consulting, frequent external meetings): Yes.

If you rarely schedule with external people: Probably not.

Comparison to Alternatives

Morgen vs. Native Calendar Apps

Native (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook):

  • Pros: Free, fast, integrated with OS
  • Cons: Single calendar view, no multi-calendar conflict detection

Morgen:

  • Pros: Unified multi-calendar view, conflict prevention, smart scheduling
  • Cons: $14/month for Pro, another app to install

Winner: Morgen for multi-calendar users. Native for single-calendar simplicity.

Morgen vs. Fantastical

Fantastical: Premium Mac/iOS calendar ($5/month or $50/year)

Pros:

  • Beautiful design
  • Natural language input ("Lunch with Sarah Tuesday 1pm")
  • Excellent Apple ecosystem integration

Cons:

  • Apple-focused (limited Windows support)
  • Single-calendar oriented
  • No multi-calendar scheduling links

Winner: Fantastical for Apple users wanting polished single-calendar experience. Morgen for multi-calendar consolidation.

Morgen vs. Motion/Reclaim.ai

Motion/Reclaim: AI scheduling that automatically moves tasks and meetings.

Different use case: Motion/Reclaim optimize your calendar automatically. Morgen just displays and consolidates calendars.

Comparison: Not direct competitors.

Consider: Motion/Reclaim for AI scheduling. Morgen for multi-calendar view.

Possible to use both: Yes, but expensive ($14 Morgen + $19 Motion = $33/month).

Who Should Use Morgen?

Strong yes if:

  • You actively use 2+ calendars (work, personal, shared)
  • You experience double-booking across calendars
  • You schedule external meetings frequently (scheduling links are valuable)
  • Calendar consolidation is pain point

Probably yes if:

  • You have basic multi-calendar needs
  • Free tier provides sufficient features
  • You just want unified view without Pro features

Probably no if:

  • You use one calendar only
  • You're satisfied with native calendar apps
  • You want AI scheduling (Motion/Reclaim instead)
  • Budget is constrained ($14/month is steep)

Definitely no if:

  • You have simple scheduling needs
  • Native calendar apps work fine
  • You don't want another subscription

Free Tier vs. Pro: Worth Upgrading?

Free tier includes:

  • 3 calendar connections (enough for most)
  • Unified view
  • Basic conflict detection
  • Task integration (one task app)

Pro ($14/month) adds:

  • Unlimited calendar connections
  • Scheduling links with multi-calendar awareness
  • Custom branding
  • Priority support

Worth upgrading?

Yes if: You share scheduling links regularly (sales, consulting, external meetings). Multi-calendar awareness alone justifies cost.

No if: You just want unified view and conflict detection. Free tier sufficient.

My Personal Verdict After 30 Days

Morgen solved my multi-calendar chaos.

Before: Toggled between Google Calendar (work), Apple Calendar (personal), and Outlook (family). Double-booked 2-3 times/month.

After: One unified view. Zero double-bookings. ~10 min/day saved checking availability.

Free vs. Pro: Using free tier. Don't share scheduling links frequently enough to justify $14/month for Pro.

Continued use: Yes. Morgen is now default calendar app on desktop.

Caveat: Still use native iOS Calendar for quick mobile checks. Morgen's mobile app doesn't fully replace native speed.

Key Takeaways

Morgen excels at multi-calendar consolidation—unified view of work, personal, and shared calendars eliminates toggling between apps and prevents double-booking across separate calendars.

Testing showed immediate value: Zero double-bookings in 30 days vs. 2-3/month previously. ~10 minutes/day saved checking availability. Mental clarity from single source of truth.

Scheduling links with multi-calendar awareness are killer feature—but require Pro subscription ($14/month). Checks all calendars simultaneously, shows true availability unlike Calendly (single calendar only).

Sync is fast and reliable: Events appeared within 5-10 seconds across all connected calendars. No sync failures in 30-day testing period.

Free tier sufficient for most users: 3 calendar connections, unified view, conflict detection included. Pro worth it only if you share scheduling links frequently.

Not for single-calendar users: If you use one calendar only, native apps (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar) work fine. Morgen solves multi-calendar problem specifically.
