Hetk vs Morgen — at a glance

What’s the difference?

Hetk: Real-Time Calendar Sync

Hetk keeps your calendars in sync across Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple iCloud. When you create, update, or delete an event in one calendar, Hetk propagates that change to the others within seconds — with full control over privacy, visibility, and identity information.

Morgen: Calendar Client with AI Planning

Morgen is a cross-platform calendar app that connects to multiple calendar providers and displays them in a unified view. It adds AI-powered daily planning, time blocking, and task integration on top. Morgen also has a “calendar propagation” feature that copies events between calendars — but it runs once per day and only copies one direction.

The sync difference matters

This is where the two products diverge most sharply.

Hetk syncs in real time, two ways. When someone books a meeting on your Outlook calendar, Hetk copies it to Google within seconds. If you move it in Google, the change flows back to Outlook. Hetk uses webhooks from each provider to detect changes instantly.

Morgen propagates once daily, one way. Morgen’s calendar propagation runs as a scheduled batch job at 6:00 PM. It copies events from a source calendar to a destination calendar for the next 14 days, showing them as “Busy” blocks with no event details. Cancelled or moved events update with the next batch — not in real time.

If you need your calendars genuinely synchronized, these are fundamentally different approaches:

Where Hetk wins

True two-way sync

Hetk syncs events in both directions. Morgen’s propagation only copies from source to destination — changes in the destination calendar don’t flow back.

Real-time updates

Hetk detects changes within seconds via provider webhooks. Morgen’s propagation runs once daily, which means a meeting booked at 9 AM might not appear on your other calendar until 6 PM.

Full event data with privacy controls

Hetk copies actual event information — title, description, location, attendees — with configurable privacy. You choose what to share: full details, private with hidden content, or transformed identity information. Morgen’s propagation only creates “Busy” blocks with no details.

Dramatically cheaper

Hetk Professional costs $50/year. Morgen Pro costs $180/year. For calendar sync alone, Hetk is 72% cheaper — and its sync is significantly more capable.

Where Morgen wins

Unified calendar app

Morgen replaces your default calendar app entirely. It provides a native desktop and mobile client with a unified view of all your calendars. Hetk is a sync service that works behind the scenes — you keep using your existing calendar apps.

AI daily planner

Morgen’s AI analyzes your calendar, suggests tasks to schedule, and helps you block time for focused work. Hetk doesn’t have AI scheduling — it syncs events as-is.

Task integration

Morgen pulls tasks from Todoist, Notion, ClickUp, Linear, Apple Reminders, Google Tasks, and Microsoft To Do into your calendar view. Hetk focuses exclusively on calendar sync.

Scheduling links

Morgen includes built-in booking pages and scheduling links. Hetk doesn’t offer scheduling — for that you’d use Calendly, Cal.com, or a similar tool.

Broader provider support

Morgen connects to Google, Outlook, iCloud, Exchange, Fastmail, and any CalDAV-compatible service. Hetk currently supports Google and Outlook, with Apple iCloud support coming soon.

Who should choose Hetk

Choose Hetk if your problem is keeping calendars synchronized across providers. Common scenarios:

• Syncing a personal Google Calendar with a work Outlook account
• Managing client calendars as a freelancer or consultant
• Keeping board seat calendars aligned with your primary work calendar
• Syncing sensitive events with privacy controls (mark as private, hide details, transform identity)
• Avoiding double-booking across calendar systems

Hetk runs in the background and keeps your existing calendar apps in sync. You don’t need to change how you use your calendars.

Who should choose Morgen

Choose Morgen if your problem is needing a better calendar app with productivity features:

• You want a single app to view all your calendars and tasks
• You want AI to help plan your day and block focus time
• You need task integration with tools like Todoist, Notion, or Linear
• You want built-in scheduling links without a separate tool
• You’re willing to pay $180/year for a premium calendar client

Morgen’s calendar propagation can cover basic availability blocking across calendars, but it’s not a sync tool — it’s a daily planner with a propagation add-on.

Can you use both?

Yes, and it makes sense in some cases. You could use Hetk to keep your Google, Outlook, and iCloud calendars genuinely synchronized in real time, and use Morgen as your daily calendar client with AI planning on top.

However, if you use Morgen as your primary calendar app and also use Hetk for sync, you’d be paying for two tools ($50 + $180 = $230/year). If you only need sync and are happy with your existing calendar app, Hetk alone at $15–50/year is sufficient.

Feature-by-feature analysis

Hetk and Morgen solve adjacent but distinct calendar problems. Hetk is a synchronization engine; Morgen is a calendar client with productivity features.

Hetk’s job: keep your Google, Outlook, and iCloud calendars in perfect sync. Events created in one system appear in the others within seconds, with configurable privacy controls. It runs in the background — you never need to open Hetk after setup.

Morgen’s job: be a better calendar app. It connects to your calendar providers, displays everything in one interface, and adds AI planning, time blocking, and task management. Its “calendar propagation” feature is a lightweight add-on that copies availability blocks between calendars once daily.

The practical difference shows up in real scenarios. If a colleague books a meeting on your Outlook calendar at 10 AM, Hetk syncs it to Google immediately. With Morgen propagation, that meeting might not appear on Google until 6 PM — and when it does, it shows as “Busy” with no details. If you’re checking availability in Google during the day, you could double-book yourself.

Morgen’s unified view solves this partially — if you use Morgen as your only calendar app, you see all providers in one place. But the moment you check availability in a native calendar app (Apple Calendar, Google Calendar web, Outlook), you won’t see cross-provider events unless they’re actually synced.

FAQ

Does Morgen sync calendars like Hetk?

Not in the same way. Morgen shows all your calendars in a unified view within its app, and its “propagation” feature copies events one-way as “Busy” blocks once daily. Hetk syncs actual event data in real time, two ways, with privacy controls. They’re fundamentally different approaches.

What if I already use Morgen as my calendar app?

You can add Hetk for real-time sync and keep using Morgen as your daily planner. Hetk syncs in the background; Morgen reads from the already-synced calendars. The two tools complement each other.

Is Morgen’s propagation good enough for basic sync?

It depends on your tolerance for lag. If a once-daily batch (at 6 PM) with “Busy” blocks and a 14-day window works for your workflow, Morgen’s propagation might suffice. If you need real-time updates, full event details, two-way sync, or a longer time window, Hetk is a better fit.

Does Morgen support Apple iCloud?

Yes. Morgen connects to iCloud, Exchange, Fastmail, and CalDAV providers in addition to Google and Outlook. Hetk currently supports Google and Outlook, with iCloud support in development.

Why is Morgen so much more expensive?

Morgen is a full calendar client with native apps, AI planning, task integration, and scheduling links. You’re paying for an entire productivity suite. Hetk is focused solely on calendar sync, which keeps the price low. If you only need sync, paying for Morgen’s full suite doesn’t make sense.

Can I use Morgen’s free trial to test propagation?

Yes. Morgen offers a 14-day free trial with full feature access, no credit card required. Hetk offers a 21-day trial. You could test both side by side to see which sync approach fits your workflow.

Does Hetk have a desktop app like Morgen?

No. Hetk is a web-based service that runs in the background after setup. You keep using your existing calendar apps (Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar). Morgen replaces those apps with its own native client.
