The Short Answer
Reclaim is the correct migration for 90% of former Clockwise users. Feature parity is ~85% across the core use cases, with Reclaim actually doing better on habits and scheduling links while Clockwise was stronger on team-wide meeting optimization and analytics. If you're a Clockwise refugee, read our step-by-step migration guide and budget 30 minutes for the switch.

What You Gain Moving to Reclaim
- Habits: Clockwise never had first-class habit support. Reclaim's Habits feature is noticeably more flexible and arguably worth the migration on its own.
- Scheduling links: Calendly-grade scheduling links built in. If you were paying for Calendly alongside Clockwise, Reclaim absorbs that cost.
- Task integrations: Reclaim pulls tasks from Todoist, Asana, Linear, Jira, ClickUp, Trello, and Google Tasks. Clockwise had only limited task features.
- Travel time blocks: For users who still travel between in-person meetings, Reclaim auto-inserts travel time based on location.
- An actively developed product: The most important one. Reclaim is shipping features; Clockwise is not.
What You Lose Moving to Reclaim
- Team-wide meeting optimization: Clockwise's strongest feature was looking across an entire team's calendars and rearranging non-critical meetings to create focus blocks for everyone. Reclaim does this per-user, not team-wide.
- Deep team analytics: Clockwise's analytics dashboard for managers (meeting load per person, focus time achieved, team health) was category-leading. Reclaim's equivalent is functional but lighter.
- Meeting Hours feature: Clockwise let teams declare "meetings only between 10am and 3pm" and enforced it. Reclaim supports working hours but the Meeting Hours concept is less explicit.
Migration Path
- Export your Clockwise settings (if you still have access) — screenshot your Habits, Smart 1:1 pairs, and Focus Time configuration.
- Sign up for Reclaim's free Lite tier and connect the same Google or Outlook calendar.
- Recreate your Clockwise Focus Time blocks as Reclaim Habits (this takes about 10 minutes).
- Recreate your Clockwise Smart 1:1s in Reclaim — same concept, different UI.
- Connect your task manager (Todoist, Asana, etc.) for bonus scheduling power Clockwise didn't have.
- If you're on a team that used Clockwise analytics, consider pairing Reclaim with a dedicated meeting analytics tool like Fellow.app.

Pricing Comparison
| Plan | Clockwise (historical) | Reclaim (current) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Yes | Yes (Lite) |
| Starter | $6.75/user/mo | $10/user/mo |
| Business | $11.50/user/mo | $15/user/mo |
Reclaim is modestly more expensive than Clockwise was, but you're also getting scheduling links and task-based planning that Clockwise didn't include. If you previously paid separately for Calendly, the net cost is lower on Reclaim.
Verdict
For former Clockwise users, Reclaim is the pragmatic, low-friction choice. Feature parity is high, migration takes under an hour, and the areas where Reclaim is stronger (habits, scheduling links, task integrations) often matter more day-to-day than the areas where Clockwise was stronger (team-wide optimization, deep analytics). Start with the free Lite tier, recreate your setup, and upgrade to Starter if you want unlimited habits.
