habits and recurring tasks arranged with artificial intelligence
I can't edit original events using reclaim platform, i need to go directly to google calendar.
rituals with my team or recurring meetings
I don't have to think about prioritization or manual time-blocking any more. Reclaim integrates tasks from my project management software (Jira) and tasks that don't have tickets. All I need is a flexible time estimate for each task and my calendar is made. This has really helped me get the most urgent stuff done in the available time that I have. Earlier this year I reduced my work hours so have felt the pressure to get the same work done in less time. Reclaim has really helped me be most effective during my available time, plus I can use it for personal life tasks. It has helped me set realistic goals for myself and expectations with others.
It was kind of hard to set up with Jira but once I got it working it is okay. It is a bit slow to sync and schedule tasks from Jira too and sometimes takes multiple tries.
Reclaim helps me schedule tasks in my available work hours and prioritize the most important tasks. It also helps fend off unnecessary meetings and automatically updates my Slack status so my co-workers can see if I'm busy or free.
I like that reclaim uses AI to help me organize my time, tasks, hobbies, and meetings. It hooks up with my google calendar and allows me to set priorities for all the things that I need to do in order for me to best manage my time. Their customer service is amazing as they always get back with me very quickly. They also have a helpful AI bot which answers questions for me which have been asked before. The ease of use is good. It takes a little bit of time to set up, but runs on it's own once (if you have a lot of recurring tasks/meetings) once you have configured it the way you'd like. This has become a part of my routine is meetings to add the tasks, due dates, and priorites to my reclaim, and reclaim handles the rest!
Reclaim doesn't have much that I would *dislike*. They have even taken suggestions I have given and have a clear roadmap of where they are going. I would like to hear a little bit more about what is happening, as I have been a member for a few months and haven't heard any updates that have been made since.
Cleaning up my calendar, scheduling meetings, giving me clarity in my daily routine and schedule.
Reclaim manages my 1:1s with a 10 person team requiring different check-in frequencies around a variable schedule, which I would not be able to manage without. It also defends my time so I am able to get my other work done. They recently brought in prioritization of all events, which has been a gamechanger for me.
My less tech savvy colleagues have been slower to adopt Reclaim, but their support team gave me team a customized onboarding that has helped them overcome any barriers to use.
I need to balance managing my team, meeting with clients, and preserving time to do my work. It helps me understand how much time I have available, and how many people I need to delegate to in order to have a manageable workload.
Reclaim.ai is perfect for a business owner who uses Google calendar, and especially if you use one of the Project management tools that integrate with it. I've tried other AI scheduling tools, but in order for me to get the most of them, I would have had to ditch the project management tool my agency was using. With this, I can keep my existing tech stack and still experience the benefits of having help with my calendar. Instead of having to track my client work and business tasks inside my PM tool (ClickUp) and then manually blocking time in my calendar to do them (so draining and frustrating), tasks and projects are automatically added to my calendar based on their start & end dates and estimated time for the task. I also love that I can add custom habits in here, and/or modify existing templates for my home life and business. That's another HUGE benefit for me - setting Personal -vs- work hours and being able to leverage the AI for my personal/home/family life as well. After getting everything set up, I now benefit from Reclaim.AI's features every day. I also appreciate that it's affordable - $8/month! It's so worth it!
I do wish that it synced with my existing scheduling tool, Honeybook. I need most of my appointments to stay there so I can track my leads and leverage my automations when people schedule. Reclaim.AI's native scheduling feature is really awesome, but if there was a way to combine the features of Reclaim.AI with Honeybook it would be top notch!
Having to switch between PM tool and schedule blocking. Feeling behind on all the work I have to do because I have to manually block time for all projects. It helps me focus and trust that all my tasks are accounted for and will be finished on time.
Reclaim is truly an amazing tool! Its ability to seamlessly and automatically reschedule unfinished events to the next day has been a game-changer for my productivity. This feature alone sets Reclaim apart and makes it an invaluable addition to my daily routine. I use it by placing time-fixed events in my Google Calendar while managing tasks and habits within Reclaim. The free version is fantastic; it has helped me create healthier habits. I highly recommend Reclaim to anyone looking to optimize their time management and scheduling.
I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows me to change the colors of the tasks in the open task list and on the scheduler for better color coding. Additionally, I would like to have the ability to prioritize my tasks and habits using a 1-2-3-4 system, similar to the Eisenhower matrix. And add 3 days view.
Saves a lot of time.
I wanted to launch my own mentoring and as I manage multiple calendars from different providers (not only from Google) it was challenging to build the unified schedule for me. Reclaim works with Google and you can easily sync all calendars using Google Calendar first. Sync all caldavs to your google calendar and connect it to reclaim. Profit. I like features like 'decompress' after the meeting and travel time.
Support not only Google but at least allow to import calendars with Caldav. Not is requires additional steps to handle all calendars, but it can be done natively from the app.
Build a single calendar to make it public and allow others to schedule a mentoring meeting.
100%. Ich kann alle meine Ideen als Task verfassen und es wird automatisch ein passender Zeitpunkt gewählt und in meinem Google Kalender eingesetzt. Alles in den zeitlichen Rahmen den ich zuvor als Ideal gewählt habe. Ich bin sehr zu frieden.
Es sollte eine mobile App für Unterwegs geben! Unterwegs habe ich immer ideen von Sachen die ich noch in der Zukunft tun könnte. Diese Sachen trage ich sofort momentan direkt als Task in Reclaim ein. Es wäre gut wenn es dafür auch eine App geben würde. Bowser funktioniert aber relativ auch gut..
I dont need a Todo List anymore; I am more Productive; I do not need to take that much time to plan; it feels like I already have my personal assistant.
The simplicity to start using the tool, configure your Google calendars and set up the privacy between your professional world and personal chores. It is the best tool to sync your calendars.
The poor integration with other calendars but it isn't its mistake; Microsoft never did anything easy, but the project is growing, so I hope we will have the same experience with Google also in Outlook calendars.
Saving my time, I work with multiple development teams in different countries and in different time zones, so Reclaim helps me a lot to report my free time blocks to other teammates and also provides an excellent channel to schedule meetings for new business and interactions to the OpenSource community.
I love that Reclaim.ai integrates with Asana so that all my tasks are easlity woven into my schedule. It allows me to function at the highest level while building in time to take care of myself. The best tool that I have invested in this year!
I wish that Reclaim.ai would integrate with Outlook 365 calendar and had a mobile app. But, as far as functionality no disappointments.
Reclaim.ai is allowing me to manage my full-time job tasks, along with my consulting business work, as well as my volunteer duties. It truly allows me to dedicate time within 24 hours to get things done in the most efficient manner and take care of my family and my needs, too!
Being able to automatically schedule my tasks, in a way which still allows for meetings to have priority, is invaluable. I used to find it hard to prioritise and worried about not getting some things done.
I can't mark a task to be done later but not schedule it. I'd like to be able to add tasks which require more detail before being ready to be scheduled.
Reclaim.ai became my own personal project manager. It avoids the "fear of prioritisation" and "anxiety of the work not yet done".
I love how I can prioritize tasks and habits. You can put them in a specific order and Raclaim will schedule based on that as well as your time around meetings. I use to manually time block my calendar and I was moving tasks constantly. The fact that Reclaim will intelligently do it for me is a game changer.
I have trouble balancing my work and personal calendar. I have put everything on my work calendar so that it all syncs correctly.
I need to be able to understand my workload, deadlines, and remember to do things weekly but not be so rigid that I can't meet with my team. Using the scheduling links as well as the task and habit management I can get my work done and be accessible.
I can now trust that my calendar is being managed, and the risk of double-booking is minimised.
I like it's expanding its feature-set. I'm just missing the ability to have recurring tasks!!
At the moment i have a couple of smart 1 on 1 events, and am looking forward to having multi-person smart one on ones hopefully soon!
Reclaim ensures that my private and business calendars are always in sync, provides the best self-scheduling for 1:1 and team meetings, and helps with automated scheduling and rescheduling of my focus time and team 1:1s. It seems to me the team at Reclaim is really in tune with my needs as a busy professional.
The only thing missing is the option to let meeting attendees leave their phone number for me to call them instead of giving them my number up front.
First of all, it helps me keep my different calendars perfectly in sync, always, while keeping my personal calendar events private. It also has helped solve several business problems for my team, including automatic scheduling and resheduling of focus time and team 1:1s.
I consult with multiple companies and have over 6 email accounts + calendars at any point in time. Reclaim helps me sync between all these calendars and prevent double-bookings. The habits and tasks feature helps me block time for the important things. It auto-plans my week based on priority and deadline for the task. Thanks to the ability to share scheduling links, I no longer need a Calendly subscription.
Occasionally, the auto-planner schedules tasks suboptimally. This isn't a deal-breaker since I can then manually rearrange things.
Reclaim is solving for time management by making the calendar the central place to get work done. It syncs with tools such as ClickUp, Asana, etc. For me, it does 3 key things: 1. Prevents double-bookings 2. Helps make time for important work 3. Simply my meeting scheduling
I love the ability to sync multiple calendars, how incredibly easey it is to use, and how it keeps my weeks on track to hit my goals
That Reclaim.ai wasnt in my echo system 4 years ago!
Before Reclaim, I was always stressed out, saying, "I don’t have enough time." I kept switching between my calendar and never-ending to-do lists for nearly three years, trying to manage my scheduleI. With the help of Reclaim, I write wrote out my business goals for the year and each week in notion, I'd set up a "weekly sync" to plan out my tasks. Then I would trasnfer that data into Reclaim, and just like magic, everything became organized. I knew exactly what to do each day, and that heavy feeling of being lost and overwhelmed disappeared. If you need to get organized, I highly recommend Reclaim.ai.
For context, I am a proposal manager with 2-5 week project lifecycles; you’d be surprised at how quickly things can go downhill. Before using Reclaim, I would spend somewhere around 1-2 hours scheduling PER DAY. That’s 10 to 20 hours per week - like a part-time scheduling job 😓 I’ve tried other software with similar features, but nothing quite compares. Some competitors compress your free time into larger work blocks or share your calendar with your team to get more flexible 1:1 meetings. Others have the same project management integrations yet still require you to manually add tasks to your schedule. These are all great features but fail to take command of the mental workload that is resource and schedule management as flawlessly as Reclaim does. In their defense, that might not even be their intent. But this is where Reclaim really flourishes. Tasks from my project management software integrate into my calendar, Reclaim assigns one or more work blocks, ensuring the work gets done. If I underestimate at task duration, no problem, I can just drag it to a longer duration on my calendar. Time is logged in my task and I don’t have to manually update this for client billing. It’s a two-for-one win. If a client schedules a call during lunch, Reclaim will defend a lunchtime block to make sure I get time for a break and continue to work throughout the day. Clients can help themselves to a time on my calendar ranging in time duration so I don’t have to send three separate calendar links or play email tag to find an opening in both of our schedules. Aside from saving me an astronomical amount of time and money, the most valuable thing I gain from using Reclaim is an enormous sense of relief. I no longer have to worry about a client changing a meeting, underestimating the duration of a task, or constantly wondering whether my workload is balanced enough to take a break or work on something else. Reclaim gives me peace of mind; I trust that if something is on my task list, it will be completed. It’s just a matter of time before Reclaim is a standard tool in everyone’s tech stack. I’ll keep spreading the good word and let everyone around me know how it saves me so much time so I can help them do the same!
There is nothing I don't like. The software has been consistently improving over time. The scheduling links are fantastic, the project management integrations are phenomenal, and I am excited to use any new features soon to be developed.
Schedule & resource management. Then I discovered the estimation ties into project management time tracking & now I also bill my clients with like 90% less input.
Reclaim.ai is a game-changer for time management and calendar optimization. Its intuitive interface and smart scheduling capabilities have transformed the way I prioritize and allocate my time. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take control of their busy schedules!
While Reclaim.ai offers impressive scheduling capabilities, its learning curve can be a bit steep for those not familiar with advanced calendar tools. It might take some time to fully harness its potential. That being said, they guide you very well with interactive tutorials and clean UI.
Its optimizing my time with personal task scheduling as well as helping me schedule low, medium and high priority meetings.
flexibility (setting up hours), speed - how quickly it reacts to changes in the calendar, features like shared links and 1:1s, task management, Habits tracking and scheduling,
limited to Google Calendar only, hard to find any downsides - the only thing that came to my mind is that it does not work with recurring tasks in todoist I would like to also be able to set up Focus Time with #reclaim_free attribute so I can schedule tasks over that time
I don't need to spend hours re-scheduling meetings if something changes, also allows me to auto-schedule tasks from my Todoist, create slots for my habits I need to work on
I started using Reclaim to sync my work calendar with my family calendar.I found that juggling these two worlds became increasingly difficult, increasingly so as my two kids progressed through middle school. This feature alone was game-changing for my work-life balance. Next, I started using reminders to automatically book time to do the things that I would like to be doing regularly, but seemed to never find the time before. I tend towards dropping all the things that benefit me personally, especially when I'm busy. Reclaim made me have a more balanced life. More recently, I started using Reclaim to schedule 1:1's with my team. In the past, I felt that I never had time to do these on a regular cadence. Having a different, busy schedule every day made 1:1's one of the first things I dropped. Managing scheduling conflicts was something that seemed to take a disproportionate amount of my time, and this made me less likely to try, or I would aim for a less frequent cadence. Reclaim's 1:1 scheduler has made it possible to stay more in touch with my team, without all the manual calendar juggling.
Not everyone uses Reclaim. The 1:1 scheduling works better when everyone links it with their own calendar. If they don't, they need to manually be managing the schedule changes via email and that doesn't always work great.
Helping to keep my work and family life in sync, and maintaining my work life balance and personal sanity. Staying in touch with other people on my team through 1:1's.
