Best for: AI calendar optimization — automatically schedules focus time and habits
⚖️ Compare Reclaim.ai vs Motion

About Reclaim.ai

Reclaim.ai is an AI calendar optimization tool that works within Google Calendar to automatically schedule focus time, recurring habits, personal tasks, and flexible meetings around fixed commitments. Unlike Motion which builds a full daily schedule, Reclaim focuses on protecting and optimizing time within an existing calendar rather than replacing calendar management entirely.

The core use cases are: scheduling focused work blocks that move automatically around meetings, maintaining daily and weekly habits (exercise, learning, deep work) by automatically finding and protecting time for them, and scheduling 1:1 meetings within shared availability windows. Reclaim continuously adjusts scheduled blocks as meetings are added or changed, ensuring protected time is always current.

Key capabilities include automatic focus time scheduling, habit scheduling and protection, smart 1:1 meeting scheduling, task duration estimation, buffer time between meetings, team calendar analytics, and integrations with Slack (showing meeting status), Asana, Linear, Todoist, Jira, and Google Tasks.

Pricing: Free Lite plan provides basic focus time and habit scheduling for one user. Starter at $8 per user per month provides full features for individuals. Business at $12 per user per month adds team analytics, admin controls, and priority support. Enterprise pricing includes SSO and compliance features.

Limitations: Reclaim only integrates with Google Calendar — Outlook and Microsoft 365 users cannot use it. The AI scheduling is conservative — it protects time but does not rebuild schedules as aggressively as Motion. Task scheduling requires Reclaim's own task interface or integrated task tools (Asana, Jira) rather than arbitrary task lists.

Best suited for knowledge workers and teams on Google Calendar who want to protect focus time and maintain work habits without manually blocking calendar time every week.
