Morgen: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Morgen is a daily planner that brings calendars, tasks and projects together in one view. It helps users prioritise to-dos, events and projects, and offers AI-based scheduling and an optional AI chat. It is a hosted application that stores data on the vendor's servers.

Morgen AG is the controller and is based in Zurich, Switzerland. The privacy policy states that its data centres are located in Switzerland or the European Union, with Google Cloud hosting in those regions. Some partners, such as analytics and AI providers, are based in the United States. The AI chat, which uses external AI providers, is used only when users opt in. No foreign parent company was identified in the sources consulted, and the software is not open source. For a European organisation the Swiss seat and the Swiss and EU hosting are relevant, while the US sub-processors deserve review.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Morgen

Morgen is headquartered in Switzerland and falls under Swiss law, including the revised Swiss data protection act. Switzerland is not an EU member, but the European Commission recognises its level of data protection as adequate. Its Swiss headquarters does not by itself bring it under US legislation such as the CLOUD Act.

Morgen hosts data in the EU and in Switzerland. Switzerland is covered by a European Commission adequacy decision, so personal data can go there without extra safeguards. If you require strictly EU hosting, check the data processing agreement for which data is stored in Switzerland.

Morgen is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Morgen together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
