About Reclaim.ai
Reclaim.ai is a smart calendar orchestration layer that sits on top of Google Calendar to solve the perpetual conflict between meetings and deep work. Unlike traditional calendars that treat time as a static grid, Reclaim treats your schedule as a fluid set of priorities. It is built for knowledge workers, managers, and freelancers who struggle with 'calendar tetris'—the exhausting act of manually moving blocks when a new meeting request arrives. What sets Reclaim apart is its ability to toggle tasks and habits between 'free' and 'busy' states. It keeps your schedule flexible until it absolutely must be locked down to meet a deadline, effectively defending your time from being hijacked by others' meeting invites without requiring you to manually block every hour of your day.
Key features
- Smart Habits
Automatically finds the best window for recurring routines like 'Deep Work' or 'Exercise,' moving them dynamically if a high-priority meeting is booked over them.
- Task Prioritization
Integrates with project management tools to sync your to-do list directly into your calendar as actual time blocks based on due dates and effort estimates.
- Calendar Bridging
Syncs your personal and professional calendars in real-time to prevent coworkers from booking over private appointments while maintaining your privacy.
- Buffer Time Automation
Automatically injects travel time or 'decompression' breaks after meetings to ensure you have time to reset before your next commitment.
- Smart 1:1 Meetings
Analyzes both participants' schedules to find the ideal meeting time, automatically rescheduling if a conflict arises for either person.
Use cases
- Protecting Engineering Focus
A developer uses Reclaim to ensure they get 4 hours of 'Coding Time' daily, which the AI shifts around stand-ups and urgent bug reviews.
- Preventing Burnout for Managers
A department head sets a 'Decompression' habit that forces a 15-minute gap after every meeting to prevent back-to-back Zoom fatigue.
- Managing Freelance Deadlines
A writer syncs their Todoist tasks to Reclaim, which automatically carves out specific blocks for drafting based on upcoming delivery dates.
- Work-Life Harmony
An employee syncs their private gym schedule to their corporate calendar so they appear 'Busy' to colleagues without revealing personal details.
