Clockwise alternatives after the calendar app shut down
Clockwise stopped on 27 March 2026 when its team joined Salesforce. These AI calendar and planning tools can replace it.
Clockwise, the AI calendar assistant known for protecting focus time and moving flexible meetings, is no longer available. Its site explains that the team joined Salesforce and that the product stopped on 27 March 2026. Focus Time blocks and other events it managed were removed from calendars, its scheduling links stopped working and user data is being deleted. Its own FAQ suggests moving scheduling links to another service such as Reclaim.

Reclaim.ai: the closest match
Reclaim works on top of Google Calendar and Outlook to protect focus time and keep it flexible as meetings appear, schedules habits and tasks, and finds meeting times that respect colleagues’ focus. Like Clockwise, it offers organisation-wide initiatives and analytics, with previews before changes apply.
Motion: if you want tasks planned too
Motion schedules your tasks automatically around meetings based on priority and deadlines, and has grown into a work platform with projects, docs and meetings. It suits people who want the software to plan their whole day, though moving a team onto it is a bigger change.
Sunsama and Akiflow: more control
If automatic rescheduling felt too unpredictable, Sunsama guides a short daily planning ritual and timeboxing on your calendar, pulling tasks from tools like Asana and Jira. Akiflow gathers tasks from many apps into one inbox and offers an AI assistant, Aki, to help plan the day.
Rebuilding your setup
- Recreate your focus-time goals and working hours in the new tool.
- Replace old Clockwise scheduling links on websites and email signatures.
- Reconnect calendars and review the permissions each tool requests.
- Roll out to a small group first so automated changes do not surprise colleagues.
- Check analytics after a month to confirm focus time is actually protected.
