Morgen Planner

Every calendar serves a different purpose, which means you may want to adjust your notifications for each one.

With Morgen, you first set your notifications by calendar. This is done on the desktop app, but is carried across all your instances of Morgen, including on iOS and Android.

How to set-up notifications

On your Morgen desktop app:

Click on your profile photo in the bottom left corner
Select Preferences from the menu
Select Calendar from the left menu
Next to each calendar listed, click on …
Select Notification Settings

From there you will set notifications for timed events (events in your calendar as well as scheduled tasks) and all-day events. You can set as many notifications as you would like for each calendar.

Why don’t I see my notifications

If you have notifications set up per calendar, but you are not receiving them, this may because:

‍Notifications need to be enabled: You haven’t enabled notifications from Morgen in your operating system (be it on your desktop or mobile). ‍
On mobile, your calendars aren't connected to the Morgen cloud: Your Morgen mobile app will only show you those calendars that are connected to the Morgen cloud, and relatedly, only deliver notifications for those calendars. Learn how to connect your calendars to the cloud here. ‍
You’re in Focus/DND mode: If you’re in Focus mode, Morgen’s notifications will be paused.

Note that you can also add extra notifications for specific events and scheduled tasks that will be delivered in addition to the calendar-based notifications. These types of notifications are only delivered on Desktop. You can learn more about setting up event- and scheduled task- based notifications here.

FAQ

Do dates vs. due dates—what's the difference?

A do date is when you plan to work on a task, while a due date is when the task must be completed. By scheduling do dates in your calendar, Morgen helps you carve out time to work on tasks before they become last-minute emergencies, so you stay ahead of deadlines.

How does Morgen help me prioritize urgent vs. important tasks?

In Morgen, you can tag or categorize tasks based on urgency and importance, then use time blocking or its Frames feature to ensure high-impact work gets scheduled when you’re most focused.

How is Morgen different from Todoist?

Morgen combines task management with intelligent calendar scheduling. With Morgen, you don’t just organize tasks, you prioritize the right ones and schedule them. Morgen helps you plan your day by dragging tasks onto your calendar or automatically scheduling them based on your availability, energy levels, and priorities with the AI Planner. It's built for people who want a single tool for managing both time and tasks, not just a to-do list.

Can I sync tasks with my to-do app?

Yes. Morgen lets you sync tasks from your favorite to-do apps, including Todoist, ClickUp, Notion, Obsidian, and more. This means you can view and manage all your tasks and calendar events in one place. Whether you're planning your day or time blocking your week, Morgen ensures your tasks stay connected and up-to-date, no need to switch between multiple apps.
