Their Pitch
The world’s most powerful scheduling brain.
Our Take
It's an AI calendar assistant that automatically moves your flexible meetings around to create blocks of uninterrupted work time.
Deep Dive & Reality Check
Used For
- +**Your daily standup keeps conflicting with client calls** → Clockwise automatically moves it to 10am when everyone's free
- +**You block focus time but meetings get scheduled over it anyway** → Protected blocks that meetings get rescheduled around, not through
- +**Setting up team meetings requires 12 back-and-forth Slack messages** → AI finds the optimal slot by analyzing everyone's calendar
- +Automatically updates your Slack status during meetings - no more "sorry, was on a call" 20 minutes later
- +Connects to Zoom so every rescheduled meeting keeps its video link
Best For
- >Your calendar looks like Tetris and you can't find 2 hours to actually work
- >You're spending 15 minutes every day manually shuffling recurring team meetings
- >Your team has flexible internal meetings but everyone's too polite to reschedule them
Not For
- -Teams under 5 people — the optimization needs multiple calendars to work its magic
- -Anyone with mostly fixed-time meetings — client calls and presentations can't be auto-rescheduled
- -Teams using anything other than Google Calendar or Outlook — that's all it connects to
Pairs With
- *Google Calendar (where the actual magic happens - Clockwise just makes it smarter)
- *Slack (gets automatic status updates so people know you're in focus mode)
- *Zoom (automatically adds video links to rescheduled meetings)
- *Asana (the only task manager it connects to, unlike Reclaim which plays nice with everything)
- *Outlook (if you're in Microsoft land instead of Google)
- *Reclaim (the main alternative if you need deeper task management integration)
The Catch
- !Requires annual billing only — no monthly option to test the waters first
- !If you mark the wrong meeting as "flexible" it'll reschedule without asking and confuse everyone
- !Only integrates with Asana for tasks while competitors connect to ClickUp, Jira, Linear, and others
Bottom Line
Finally, an AI that fights for your focus time instead of filling every gap with meetings.
