Clockwise

What Is Clockwise?

Clockwise is an AI-powered calendar assistant that automatically optimizes your schedule. It moves flexible meetings to create blocks of uninterrupted focus time, resolves scheduling conflicts, finds the best meeting times across teams, and protects your most productive hours. It works on top of Google Calendar and Outlook — you don't switch calendars, Clockwise just makes yours smarter.

Who Is It For?

Knowledge workers and teams drowning in meetings. If your calendar looks like a game of Tetris with no focus time, Clockwise is designed for you. Particularly valuable for engineering teams, managers, and anyone whose deep work keeps getting interrupted by back-to-back meetings.

Key Features

• Focus Time Protection: AI automatically moves flexible meetings to create continuous blocks of focus time in your day.
• Smart Meeting Scheduling: Find the best time for any meeting by analyzing everyone's preferences, focus time, and existing commitments.
• Conflict Resolution: When meetings overlap, Clockwise suggests the best resolution based on priority, flexibility, and attendee preferences.
• Team Analytics: See how your team spends time — meeting load, focus time, fragmentation — and identify opportunities to improve.
• Flexible Holds: Mark meetings as flexible and Clockwise will automatically move them to optimize your week.

The Bottom Line

The only catch is that it works best when your whole team uses it.
