Reclaim.ai review: AI calendar and scheduling for work teams
Reclaim.ai fits teams that want their calendar to make room for real work. It schedules tasks, habits and focus time around meetings in Google Calendar and Outlook, with a free plan to start. It is a calendar assistant, not a replacement for your project manager.
Free plan — sign up with your work email (Google or Microsoft).
What Reclaim does
Reclaim automatically finds time for tasks, recurring habits and focus work around your meetings. When the calendar changes, it can move flexible work to another available slot rather than leaving you to rebuild the day manually.
Smart 1:1s help find recurring meeting times, while scheduling links let others book within your availability. Buffer and travel time help keep appointments from running straight into one another. Check the current plan for the features and limits your team needs.
Calendars and team setup
Reclaim works with Google Calendar and Outlook calendars. Start with your work account and decide which calendars, working hours and scheduling preferences it should use. Review those settings before inviting colleagues.
Its value depends on realistic priorities and available time. If the week is already full, automation cannot make every task fit: you still have to decide what to move or drop.
Free plan and paid seats
Reclaim has a free plan, with paid plans priced per seat. Feature availability and limits differ by tier; check the pricing page rather than budgeting from an old headline price. Test one real week on the free plan before buying seats for a team.
Who it is for
- Work teams using Google Calendar or Outlook who lose focus time to meetings.
- People who want tasks and recurring habits placed into real calendar gaps.
- Managers coordinating recurring 1:1s and availability across busy schedules.
- Former Clockwise teams looking for calendar-first automation with a free start.
Who should skip it
- People looking for a full project-management workspace rather than calendar scheduling.
- Teams unwilling to connect their work calendars or maintain scheduling preferences.
- Work that cannot be scheduled flexibly, or a workload that simply exceeds the hours available.
Pros
- · A free plan lets you evaluate fit before committing seats.
- · Keeps scheduled work alongside meetings in Google Calendar and Outlook.
- · Combines tasks, habits, focus time, smart 1:1s and scheduling links.
Cons
- · Calendar access and sensible priorities are prerequisites.

- · It does not replace project planning or resolve an overloaded workload.
Verdict
Choose Reclaim if your main problem is protecting time for work in an existing calendar. Start free with your work email, schedule a few genuine tasks and habits, and see whether the rearranged week works for you. If you also need projects and task management in one tool, compare Motion before committing.
