Frequently Asked Questions
What is Clockwise and how does it work?
Clockwise is an AI calendar assistant that optimizes team schedules by analyzing millions of calendar permutations daily. It uses proprietary scheduling algorithms and LLM-based natural language processing to understand your scheduling needs, then automatically rearranges flexible internal meetings and creates protected focus time blocks. The tool integrates with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, and Zoom to coordinate schedules in real-time.
Can Clockwise reschedule external meetings with clients?
No. Clockwise can only reschedule internal meetings where all attendees are from your organization. It cannot reschedule external meetings with clients, vendors, or contractors because it lacks access to external calendars and attendee authorization. This makes it less effective for sales and client-facing roles.
How much focus time can Clockwise create?
Teams typically gain 4-6 hours of protected focus time weekly with Clockwise, depending on adoption rate and meeting load. Effectiveness increases significantly with organization-wide adoption, as the system can optimize schedules across larger populations and find more rescheduling opportunities.
What is the difference between Clockwise's free and paid plans?
The free plan includes unlimited users and features like lunch/travel holds, personal calendar sync, and Slack integration, but lacks advanced features. The Teams plan ($6.75/user/month) adds flexible meeting rescheduling, focus time automation, and team analytics. Business ($11.50/user/month) adds enhanced analytics and admin controls. Enterprise offers custom pricing with SCIM provisioning and advanced security.
Is Clockwise shutting down?
Yes. Clockwise was acquired by Salesforce and the product will discontinue on March 27, 2026. The company has partnered with Reclaim.ai to provide migration support and is offering a 100% price match guarantee for Clockwise customers switching to Reclaim for 12 months.
How does Clockwise integrate with my calendar and productivity tools?
Clockwise integrates natively with Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook (beta), Slack for status updates, and Zoom for meeting coordination. It offers a Chrome extension for easier access within your calendar. However, it has discontinued integrations with task management tools like Asana and lacks direct connections to project management platforms like Jira or Linear.
Is my data safe with Clockwise?
Clockwise states it takes data security seriously and does not allow third parties to use your calendar data for training their models. The platform supports personal calendar privacy by default and offers role-based access controls on Business and Enterprise tiers. However, full security certifications like SOC 2 or HIPAA compliance are not explicitly advertised on their public pages.
