Auto-Scheduler is a lightweight alternative to Motion, Reclaim, SkedPal and FlowSavvy, built for one person rather than a team. Motion prices a full project-management suite at $29 to 49 a month, and Reclaim splits its scheduling logic across several separately named agents you have to configure one at a time, while Auto-Scheduler does the one thing you actually asked for, reading your Google Calendar and placing each task into the first free slot that fits once it has scored every task against the priority-and-due-date weighting you set, all for 3€ a month.
Key features:
• Task prerequisites and buffer time, included rather than gated behind a second tier
• Long tasks split automatically into sittings that fit your real calendar gaps
• A built-in calendar view, not just events synced into Google's
• Recurring tasks, and honest reporting when something couldn't be placed and why
It's Google Calendar only and desktop only for now, and sync runs one way, with a lock action for anything you want kept in place, which is the kind of limitation stated upfront rather than left for you to discover after signing up. 31-day free trial, no card required. Start at auto-scheduler.net.
