Salesforce just killed Clockwise — migrate by March 27
Salesforce acquired AI scheduling tool Clockwise and is shutting it down March 27. Your calendar data will be deleted. Here's what to do and where to go next.
If you use Clockwise to manage your calendar, you have exactly one week to move. Salesforce just acquired the AI scheduling company, hired the entire team, and announced the product will permanently shut down on March 27, 2026.
Everything disappears in 7 days
Clockwise isn't just shutting down its service — it's actively deleting things from your calendar. Here's what goes away on March 27:
❌ Focus Time blocks — all protected deep-work time slots removed
❌ Flexible Meetings — meetings stop auto-rescheduling to optimal times
❌ Smart Holds — travel time, meeting breaks, and synced personal calendar blocks deleted
❌ Scheduling Links — all shared booking links stop working
Perhaps most concerning: your data will be deleted shortly after shutdown. It won't transfer to Salesforce. If you have scheduling patterns, analytics, or calendar configurations you rely on, back them up now.
The one silver lining: customers on paid plans will receive prorated refunds for unused subscription time.
Why Salesforce wants the team, not the product
This is what the tech industry calls an "acqui-hire" — buying a company primarily for its people, not its product. Clockwise's leadership described the move as bringing "deep expertise in building reliable, agentic software to the Agentic Enterprise."
That phrase — "Agentic Enterprise" — reveals Salesforce's real play. The company is betting big on AI agents (automated AI assistants that can take actions on your behalf) inside its business software. Clockwise's team, which built AI that could intelligently reschedule meetings and protect focus time, brings exactly the kind of experience Salesforce needs to build AI agents that manage calendars, scheduling, and time across its platform.
In other words: Clockwise's AI scheduling features will likely resurface inside Salesforce products — just not as a standalone app you can use today.
Where to go: Reclaim.ai as your next move
Clockwise has officially partnered with Reclaim.ai to help users migrate. Reclaim offers nearly identical features:
✅ AI Focus Time — automatically protects deep-work blocks
✅ Smart Meeting scheduling — finds optimal times for team meetings
✅ AI Task scheduling — auto-prioritizes and slots tasks into your day
✅ Scheduling Links — Reclaim claims 524% more meeting availability than Calendly
✅ Calendar Sync — blocks availability across multiple calendars
✅ Time Tracking — built-in analytics for how you spend your time
Reclaim is offering Clockwise migrants a 100% price match guarantee plus priority migration support. There's also a free Lite plan (no credit card required) and a current 30% discount on paid plans.
Companies affected
Clockwise counted major companies among its users, including Asana, Atlassian, Etsy, HubSpot, Uber, Reddit, Instacart, and DigitalOcean. Teams at these organizations will need to find alternatives before next week's deadline.
The pattern repeating itself
This follows a familiar pattern in AI tooling: a promising standalone AI product gets acquired, its team gets absorbed into a bigger company's "AI strategy," and the original product dies. Users are left scrambling.
If you depend on any standalone AI productivity tool, this is a reminder to have a backup plan. The tool you love today might be someone else's acqui-hire target tomorrow.
Action items: If you use Clockwise, export any data you need, set up Reclaim.ai as a replacement, and remove the Clockwise integration from your calendar — all before March 27.
