Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Notion Calendar

  • Calendar source support is narrower than Morgen, focusing primarily on Google Calendar rather than a wide range of providers.
  • Its most distinctive feature, linking events to Notion pages, only benefits users already working inside a Notion workspace.
  • It lacks the task-list-to-calendar time blocking automation that Morgen offers as a paid feature.
  • As part of Notion product suite, its roadmap priorities are set by Notion broader business rather than the calendar being the company sole focus.
  • Some advanced scheduling features found in dedicated paid calendar tools, such as AI-assisted rescheduling, are not present in the free Notion Calendar.

Streaks

  • It is iOS and Apple Watch only, with no Android version, so it is not usable for anyone outside Apple's ecosystem.
  • The base app caps at 24 tracked habits, which is enough for most users but a real limit for anyone wanting to track a larger number of items.
  • Sync is via iCloud only, so there is no web or cross-platform account, which limits use to Apple devices exclusively.
  • It has fewer social or accountability features, such as shared habit tracking with friends, compared with some subscription-based competitors.
  • A single lifetime purchase means no ongoing development revenue tied to the individual user, so it depends on new sales and occasional priced major updates rather than recurring income to fund development.
