What is Clockwise?

Clockwise is an AI scheduling layer that sits on Google Calendar (and now Outlook) and continuously optimizes your team's day. It moves flexible meetings to reduce fragmentation, protects blocks of Focus Time for deep work, resolves conflicts, and finds meeting times that respect everyone's time zones and preferences. The goal is fewer, better-placed meetings and longer stretches of uninterrupted work.

A scheduling assistant and shareable links handle external meetings, while analytics show how team time splits between meetings, focus and fragmentation. Clockwise works best when a whole team adopts it, because its optimizations improve with more calendars to coordinate; solo users get a thinner slice of the value. It integrates with Slack and Asana and syncs personal calendars to block time automatically.
