About Clockwise

Competitive Landscape
Who Clockwise competes with, and how they differ.
Near-identical job-to-be-done -- auto-schedules tasks and defends focus time using constraint-based rules rather than Clockwise's meeting-permutation engine. Became Clockwise's official migration partner with 100% price matching when Clockwise shut down in March 2026, and itself continues operating under Dropbox, which acquired it in August 2024.
An all-in-one AI project manager that auto-schedules tasks against deadlines with the calendar as the execution layer, versus Clockwise's org-wide meeting-rearrangement approach. Positioned and priced (roughly 3x higher per seat) as a full task-management replacement rather than a lighter calendar-defense layer.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedA keyboard-driven, speed-focused calendar client built for high-volume schedulers and executive assistants. Its AI suggests meeting times and summarizes guests rather than automatically re-optimizing an organization's meetings the way Clockwise did.

Team joins Salesforce as product shuts down; Salesforce says deal was "not an acquisition"
Clockwise ceased operations after its founding team joined Salesforce's Agentforce group. A Salesforce spokesperson said the company was "not acquiring Clockwise or its technology," distinguishing the move from a formal acquisition (a classic acquihire). Cofounder Gary Lerhaupt became VP of Product Architecture for Agentforce. All customer data was deleted and unused subscriptions refunded; Clockwise pointed remaining users to Reclaim.ai.
