Clockwise

Clockwise is an AI-powered calendar optimization tool designed specifically for teams that want to maximize uninterrupted focus time across their organization. Unlike individual scheduling tools, Clockwise analyzes calendars across your entire team to find globally optimal meeting arrangements.

When flexible meetings can be moved, Clockwise reshuffles them to create the longest possible focus time blocks for everyone simultaneously. The Flexible Meetings feature is the core innovation: you mark meetings as movable, and Clockwise's algorithm continuously repositions them to consolidate fragmented free time into usable blocks.

The Focus Time feature automatically creates holds on your calendar during your best productive hours, and these holds are visible to colleagues so they avoid booking over them. For teams, the Autopilot scheduling considers everyone's focus preferences when suggesting meeting times, often finding slots that a human scheduler would miss.

Clockwise integrates with Slack to automatically update your status during focus time and set DND mode, reducing interruptions. The analytics dashboard shows focus time trends across teams, helping managers identify departments suffering from meeting overload. The tool works with Google Calendar and has added Outlook support.

Clockwise's free tier covers individual focus time protection, while the Teams plan at $6.75/user/month unlocks the cross-team optimization that makes Clockwise truly powerful. The tool is most effective when adopted by entire teams rather than individuals, since the cross-calendar optimization depends on seeing multiple schedules.
