What Is Reclaim.ai?
Reclaim.ai is the AI calendar that automatically schedules tasks, habits, focus time, and meetings around your priorities. Founded in 2020, Reclaim has grown by solving the most pedestrian productivity problem: not having time to do the work you committed to do.
The pitch is calendar autopilot. Define what matters (deep work blocks, deliverable deadlines, recurring habits like exercise), and Reclaim places everything on your calendar at appropriate times. When meetings shift or new ones get scheduled, Reclaim rebuilds the calendar automatically to protect priorities and resolve conflicts.
The product competes with Motion, Sunsama, and Clockwise in the AI calendar category. Reclaim positions on free-tier generosity and Google Calendar integration depth; Motion targets per-user pricing for team-scale, and Sunsama emphasizes intentional manual planning.
Try Reclaim FreeHow Reclaim.ai Works
Connect Google Calendar. Reclaim reads existing meetings and creates a baseline of your schedule. Add tasks (with deadlines and time estimates), Habits (recurring activities like exercise or planning time), and Scheduling Links (shareable booking pages for external meetings).
The AI scheduler places tasks and habits into open calendar slots that respect your priorities. Deep work blocks get protected before meetings can encroach. Critical deadlines get scheduled with enough buffer time. Habits like daily exercise appear at consistent times.
When new meetings appear on your calendar, Reclaim rebuilds. If a 9am meeting gets added that conflicts with your deep work block, Reclaim moves the deep work to another available slot. If a task deadline approaches and time has not been allocated, Reclaim raises priority on protecting time for that task.
Smart 1:1 scheduling helps managers run consistent 1:1s. Reclaim finds the best mutual time for both participants, accounts for time zones, and reschedules when conflicts arise without manual back-and-forth.
Team features let groups coordinate calendars, manage shared focus time, and run no-meeting days. Companies adopting Reclaim org-wide see meeting reduction and protected deep work time.
Reclaim.ai Pricing in 2026
Lite: Free. Limited tasks and habits, basic AI scheduling.
Starter: $10/user/month annually. Full task and habit features, basic team features.
Business: $15/user/month annually. Team coordination, scheduling links, advanced analytics.
Enterprise: $30/user/month annually. SSO, audit logs, dedicated support.
Compared to Motion at $19+/user/month, Reclaim is roughly half the price at comparable feature levels. The free tier is genuinely usable for individual users not needing team features.
See Reclaim PlansWhere Reclaim.ai Wins
- Generous free tier: individual users can run Reclaim without paying.
- Strong Google Calendar integration: deep, reliable sync.
- AI scheduling that works: actual time appears on your calendar for committed work.
- Task-to-time conversion: tasks become scheduled work blocks automatically.
- Habit support: protects time for recurring personal commitments.
Where It Falls Short
- Outlook support behind Google: Outlook integration improving but less mature.
- Complex priority decisions can feel opaque: sometimes unclear why one task moved over another.
- Best for individual contributors: leaders running heavy meeting schedules see less benefit.
- Learning curve for full benefit: setting up tasks, habits, and priorities takes initial time investment.
Reclaim.ai vs Motion vs Sunsama vs Clockwise
Motion targets the same AI calendar category at higher price. Stronger team and PM features; less generous free tier.
Sunsama emphasizes intentional manual daily planning. Less AI, more deliberate prioritization.
Clockwise focuses on team meeting optimization. Better for teams wanting org-wide focus time policies.
Todoist handles task management without calendar scheduling. Pair Todoist with Reclaim for task list + calendar.
Who Should Use Reclaim.ai
Knowledge workers juggling many small tasks: the AI scheduling earns its keep.
Founders and solo operators: individual productivity gains from calendar autopilot.
Consultants and freelancers: tracking and scheduling billable work blocks.
Teams running 1:1s and meeting-heavy workflows: automated scheduling saves coordination time.
Skip it if: you have a simple workflow with few competing priorities, you use Outlook exclusively without Google Calendar, or your role is mostly meetings with no project work to schedule.
