The software acts like a personal assistant. I tell it about my priorities and preferences, and it shifts my calendar around, accepting and declining meetings, in accordance with those wishes, no matter what surprises crop up.
I get to-dos from many different systems: Jira, Google Doc Comments, Fellow, Todoist, I wish the tool had more integrations so I could track all my todo lists, and allocate time to burn them down, from a single place.
I frequently need to reschedule 1:1s as project meetings crop up. Reclaim.ai automatically finds the next available slot that works for both me and my direct report, and reschedules the meeting if I cannot attend. Reclaim also auto-schedules time to for my todo list items, and habits, so I can never have the excuse of "never having time".
Easy and smart sync between personal and work calendars Automatically schedule and move weekly 1:1s Scheduling links are smarter because they consider more than just "free/busy"
Don't personally use "tasks" feature Teams feature seems expensive and of limited value
Blocks time on my work calendar for personal events privately (just says "blocked). Also syncs travel calendar from tripit into work calendar so that flights show as “busy”. Basically keeps all my calendars in sync. The smart 1:1 feature makes it simple to keep 1:1’s scheduled, even when all our calendars are moving around. The scheduling link feature allows people to book time with me (like Calendly) but it’s smarter because it can move things around to accommodate requests.
Reclaim has made juggling all my responsibilities, both personal and professional, incredibly easy. I can't imagine ever giving up this tool.
That it does not have an official API, so I can't integrate it into my ERP system.
Prioritizing my responsibilies the correct way.
Usability, Functionality and Interoperability (e.g. Google, Slack)
I'm actually really happy with the product, nothing to add
Fewer scheduling headaches, maximized productivity, and a smoother work-life balance. It's a time-management game-changer!
My favorite part is that all my client calendars sync to one primary canlendar. Also, I can create specific invites for different clietns. Which means, I am never double booked. It is a must for busy people that have non-stop meetings like myself.
I wish there was a chrome extension. To get my scheduling link I often have to jump back into the webiste. Which isn't a big deal, but when I am working across multiple desktops, more integration would be nice.
I work across many clients, and I always run into internal folks double booking me. This tool allows me to never double book. Also, it builds in breaks for me as many meetings run over.
I think the most helpful thing about Reclaim is the main function of reorganizing your schedule to fit everything in within your work/personal hours. I find myself stressed when I just have a list of "to-dos" to get done and no idea when and how I will get it all done. Once I implement Reclaim and get it all imputed into the calendar it schedules it all for the best way on my schedule....I feel so relieved and like a weight has lifted off my shoulders. It's like my own little personal assistant!
One thing I would like to see in Reclaim, and maybe I just need to research to see if it is a thing is the ability to change your work/personal hours on specific days. For example, I am getting married this year, and I would like to have the option to just change my personal/work hours for the week of the wedding so I can have it plan out everything I need to do before the wedding. Just an idea, but overall... I really have no complaints!
It helps me stay on task and know specifically what I am working on and for how long. I like this because it will keep me focused on the task at hand and be more productive in my work day!
I have a very busy calendar that spans 1:1s, team meetings, and it's also how I organize my todos and tasks. If it is not on the calendar, it's not happening. Reclaim solves my problems in a way that seamlessly integrates with Google Calendar so I'm not outside of my exisitng approved tooling. Smart 1:1s are a life saver, because Reclaim can automatically reschedule them if there's a more important conflict that arises with ZERO scheduling effort on my or the other attendee's part, I no longer ask the question "Does this time work for you?". Habitsare very useful for events like Exercising and Lunch. In a remote world where I'm juggling meetings with multiple timezones, it could be overlooked or booked over, but at least having them smartly move based on my schedule is a plus. Overall Reclaim has changed my perception in how I work with my calendar and what I expect it to do.
There's little to dislike. If I share anything here it would be nitpicking on improving details and polish. Th eonly thing I wish for is if the Planner would allow me to crate events by dragging on the calendar surface (similar to other calendar apps). It feels more natural even if Reclaim ends up moving things around. I sometimes find it cumbursome to find the +new button in the nav.
Scheduling Automation Focus time Habits Task management Adhering to Deadlines Prioritization All of these things is what you'd expect from a modern calendar tool when they work well together. It no longer is about how do I work in service of my time, but my time is not working for me automatically.
Reclaim.ai integrates my task list and calendar to allow me to stay focused on the tasks at hand and properly budget my time going forward. The core functionality of Reclaim.ai has always worked smoothly. It effectively populates my calendar and handles changes and adjustments without trouble. I operate a small business, have a family, and attend university; Reclaim.ai has allowed me to turn an endless to-do list into actionable tasks with dedicated time to complete them. The service is regularly updated with new features and useful updates.
Some improved abilities to revise past calendar activities and manually allocate time to Reclaim.ai tasks. Specifically, the ability to create a future event at a specific time for a Reclaim.ai task would be useful. Reclaim.ai could be used for me as a time-tracking software as well, but it would need to be able to generate some reports that would breakdown time spent by task.
Reclaim.ai is putting my focus on the tasks that need my attention. It is also planning and budgeting my time and giving me a good grasp on what my true time budget is, what tasks are over-extending my production, and when extended working hours are necessary to keep critical tasks on schedule.
Reclaim, does what the names says, it helps me find pockets of time in my day to fit in more of the personal things I love (running / cycling, etc.) automatically. This allows my co-workers, friends the ability to book meetings, use the easy scheduling link, and reclaim does a great job through "habits" of shifting my workout blocks or other personal events I want to do on a recurring basis to the best time to fit those into my day. Huge fan
The integrations are limited today, but growing quickly! Excited to see more tie ins to the tools I use the most.
Reclaim helps me fit meetings in flexibly by moving habits around on my calendar to be done at flexible times while keeping me available to work. It also conquers the very real challenge of managing multiple calendars into a single view so I can keep my true availability open to everyone.
Navigating the fast-paced world of a VC-funded startup as its CEO comes with its unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to managing time. Amidst investor meetings, team & customer check-ins, product strategy, and the myriad other tasks that pop up, Reclaim.ai has become an indispensable tool in my arsenal. Here's a detailed breakdown of my experience: Integration and Setup: In a startup environment, every minute counts. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I could integrate Reclaim.ai with my existing calendars. Whether it was Google Calendar or Outlook, the platform melded seamlessly. The initial setup was intuitive, saving me precious time and effort. Intelligent Scheduling for a CEO's Demands: My schedule is often unpredictable, with last-minute investor calls or urgent team meetings. Reclaim.ai's intelligent scheduling understands this. I can input a task, denote its urgency, and the system strategically finds an optimal time slot, considering my day's priorities. Habit Scheduling for Work-Life Balance: Leading a startup doesn't mean sidelining personal well-being. Reclaim.ai's habit scheduling allowed me to consistently block out time for personal activities, be it a quick workout, daily reflection, or even those invaluable moments of downtime. This feature underscores the importance of a balanced life, even in the midst of startup chaos. Dynamic Adjustments for the Unpredictable: In the startup realm, days rarely go as planned. Whether it's an unexpected pitch or a product hiccup, Reclaim.ai's ability to dynamically adjust my schedule ensures I can pivot without dropping the ball on other commitments. It's akin to having a personal assistant who's always two steps ahead. Tool Integrations for Seamless Workflow: Our startup, like many, relies on tools like Zoom and Slack. Reclaim.ai's integration with these platforms means I don't miss a beat. A Zoom link embedded in a task or a Slack reminder about an upcoming strategy session ensures I'm always in the loop. Privacy and Control: As a CEO, data privacy is paramount. Reclaim.ai strikes a balance between automation and discretion. While it offers intelligent suggestions, the final decision always rests with me. It's reassuring to know it doesn't overstep or access more data than necessary. In conclusion, as with every startup Co-Founder, the demands on my time are immense. Reclaim.ai doesn't just help me manage my schedule; it understands the intricacies and unpredictabilities of startup life. It's more than a tool; it's a strategic partner in time management.
One area where it could improve is its learning curve for more advanced functionalities. Initially, while the basic features were straightforward, diving deeper into the platform's more powerful scheduling options and customizations required a bit more time and patience than I anticipated. A more guided tutorial or user-friendly documentation for these advanced features would benefit users who want to harness the platform's full potential immediately.
Reclaim.ai addresses several key challenges I face in managing my time, and here's how it benefits me: Overlapping Commitments: With multiple stakeholders, from investors to team members, overlapping meetings and commitments are a frequent challenge. Reclaim.ai's Intelligent Scheduling feature identifies and allocates optimal time slots for tasks based on their priority, ensuring that I don't double-book myself or overlook crucial meetings. Consistent Personal Time: The startup world can be all-consuming, often sidelining personal well-being. Reclaim.ai's Habit Scheduling ensures that I maintain a work-life balance by carving out consistent time for personal activities, whether it's a workout, meditation, or family time. This not only benefits my well-being but also ensures I'm at my best when making critical business decisions. Unpredictable Schedule Changes: Startups are synonymous with unpredictability. Whether it's an unexpected investor call or an urgent product issue, my schedule can change at a moment's notice. Reclaim.ai's Dynamic Adjustments feature automatically reshuffles my calendar, ensuring that I can address urgent matters without neglecting other commitments. Integration with Essential Tools: In our startup, we rely heavily on tools like Zoom for meetings and Slack for communication. Reclaim.ai's seamless integration with these platforms ensures that I have all the necessary information at my fingertips. This means fewer disruptions and a smoother workflow. Maintaining Regular Routines: Consistency is key, even in a chaotic startup environment. With Reclaim.ai, I can set regular routines, like weekly team check-ins or monthly investor updates. This ensures that despite the whirlwind of activities, there's a structured approach to recurring tasks.
