Salesforce acquired the team in March 2026 and shut the product down on March 27, so the tool that rearranged your calendar and defended your focus blocks is now switched off.

If you relied on it for automatic time-blocking, Focus Time, and no-touch scheduling, finding Clockwise alternatives is no longer optional, and it comes with a deadline.

I spent two weeks moving my own work calendar through the tools below. I ran each one through the jobs Clockwise used to handle: auto-scheduling tasks around fixed meetings, protecting focus blocks, syncing two calendars, and sharing availability outside my company.

Here is how the eight compare, and which fits a one-for-one replacement, a keyboard-driven calendar, or the admin around your calendar.

8 Best Clockwise alternatives: TL;DR

The eight tools, ranked by the job they replace

1. Reclaim.ai : Best for the closest one-to-one swap for Clockwise's auto time-blocking
2. Motion : Best for people who want AI scheduling and task management in one app
3. Morgen : Best for viewing and planning across several calendars in one interface
4. Sunsama : Best for a calmer, deliberate daily planning ritual
5. Lindy : Best for the admin layer around your calendar, not just the calendar
6. Calendly : Best for booking meetings with people outside your team
7. Akiflow : Best for pulling tasks from many apps into one time-blocked day
8. Vimcal : Best for a fast, premium calendar made for heavy schedulers

Why look for Clockwise alternatives?

For years, Clockwise did one thing well. It read your calendar, found the gaps, and moved flexible meetings around to create uninterrupted Focus Time, all without any manual work from you.

The product no longer exists. Salesforce acquired Clockwise in an acqui-hire, folded the team into its Agentforce effort, and sunset the app roughly a week later. Anyone still on it had until March 27, 2026, to move.

Choosing a replacement is urgent, not optional.

Which Clockwise alternative should you choose?

• Choose Reclaim.ai if you want the replacement that behaves closest to Clockwise, with AI defending Focus Time and auto-scheduling tasks around your meetings.
• Choose Motion if you'd rather have one app run both your calendar and your task list.
• Choose Morgen if you juggle several calendars and want them grouped into one view.
• Choose Sunsama if you'd rather skip automation for a slower, intentional daily plan you build each morning.
• Choose Lindy if your bottleneck is the work around the calendar rather than the calendar view.
• Choose Calendly if your hardest scheduling problem is booking time with people outside your company.
• Choose Akiflow if your tasks are scattered across multiple apps, and you want them consolidated into one time-blocked day.
• Choose Vimcal if you live in your calendar and want speed and time-zone handling above automation.

8 Best Clockwise alternatives: At a glance

Pricing is correct as of September 2026. Verify with the vendor before purchasing.

1. Reclaim.ai

Reclaim.ai comes closest to a drop-in Clockwise replacement, and it works from the same idea: an AI that reads your calendar and defends time for focused work before meetings take it.

I gave Reclaim the exact job Clockwise used to do, pointing it at a week with six fixed meetings and a backlog of tasks. It slotted the tasks into the open windows by priority and held a Focus Time block through two invites that would have overwritten it.

Of the eight tools I tested, only Reclaim held that block without being told to.

Key features

• Focus Time: Sets a weekly focus goal and lets the AI protect uninterrupted blocks against incoming invites
• Smart Meetings: Finds a time that works across every attendee's calendar without the back-and-forth
• Tasks: Schedules your to-dos into open calendar slots by priority, then reshuffles when things change
• Habits: Finds recurring windows for routines like lunch, planning, or a daily standup
• Buffer Time: Auto-inserts breaks and travel time around meetings so back-to-backs don't pile up

Pros

✅ Behaves more like Clockwise than the other tools here. ✅ Free forever plan covers the core Focus Time and task scheduling. ✅ Syncs Google and Outlook calendars at once to prevent double-booking.

Cons

❌ Free plan limits scheduling to one week ahead. ❌ Focus Time defense takes a few days of tuning before it reads your week correctly.

Best for

• Clockwise users who want the smallest possible change to how they work.
• Individuals and teams whose main need is protecting deep-work time.

Pricing

Reclaim has a free forever plan. Paid tiers run from $12 to $22 per seat/month.

2. Motion

Motion folds your tasks and projects into the same app as your schedule.

Key features

• AI Calendar: Prioritizes and time-blocks your tasks automatically.
• AI Task Manager: Organizes tasks by urgency and importance.
• Unified calendar: Merges Google, Outlook, and iCloud accounts into one view.

Pros

✅ Replaces a calendar app and a task manager at once. ✅ Remakes your day automatically when meetings or priorities change.

Cons

❌ Costs clearly more than the calendar-only alternatives here.

Best for

• People who want their calendar and task list run by the same AI.

Pricing

Motion's Pro AI plan is $49/month.

3. Morgen

Morgen pulls every calendar you own into one interface.

Key features

• AI Planner: Shows live time-blocking recommendations.
• Task integrations: Connects Notion, ClickUp, Linear, and Todoist.

Pros

✅ Consolidates several calendar accounts into one working view.

Cons

❌ No free plan, so there's no low-stakes way to test it long-term.

Best for

• Teams and individuals juggling work and personal calendars.

Pricing

Morgen's paid plan is $30/month.

4. Sunsama

Sunsama asks you to plan each day by hand.

Key features

5. Lindy

Lindy handles scheduling from inside Slack.

Key features

Best for

• Teams whose bottleneck is the admin around meetings rather than calendar view.

Pricing

6. Calendly

Calendly manages the boundary between your calendar and other people's.

Key features

• Event types: Create different meeting formats and set bookable hours.

Pros

7. Akiflow

Akiflow captures tasks from various sources.

Key features

8. Vimcal

Vimcal remakes the calendar to be fast enough.

Key features

• Sub-100ms response: Actions return in under 100ms for the core calendar work.

Pros

✅ Among the fastest calendars for high meeting volume.

Pricing
