Switch from Frames to Schedules

The frames are a bit annoying since they show up on my calendar widgets and other calendars.

One thing I liked about other organization apps, is they let you define a schedule, like Work, and pick the times that apply to that schedule. If you link labels / tags to the schedule then you get the same functionality as a frame without the frame.

For example. When I was reviewing Motion I had a work schedule that as M-Thurs from 9am to 6pm. I had a training schedule that was M-Thurs 5-6pm and Friday from 9-6pm. Then I had personal and family schedules, both of which were M-F 6pm to 10pm and Sat-Sun from 9am to 9pm

I created tags for work, training, personal, and family and assigned them to the schedules. Then if I came up with a new project tag, I could either associate it with a schedule or just assign one of the tags I already have to the schedule. Then the AI knows where I want to put things, and no frames showing up.

    If you were able to make work times schedule work related tasks and personal times schedule personal related tasks this would help drastically. Apple’s calendar doesn’t handle smart frames well and so I’ve gotten rid of them. Smart Frames makes my Apple watch and CarPlay calendars much less user friendly and useful.

    To clarify, you don't want to see frames on your calendar.

    Is that correct?

      Danny Hatcher (Customer Support)Yes, but furthermore it would be great to be able to define „scheduling hours“ like office time (for example from 8AM to 5PM) and to tell the AI planner to only schedule tasks which are office related in that timeframe

      Andreas I might be misunderstanding, but can't you add a frame filter for say the "Work" task list for the frame 8AM to 5PM?
