Free plan

Reclaim offers a free forever plan with core calendar automation and AI scheduling capabilities. Claude Cowork does not offer a free plan.
AI assistant
More info
Reclaim gives users an interactive AI assistant with human-in-the-loop approvals that proactively suggests and coordinates time across tasks, meetings, habits, and Focus Time. Claude Cowork is a more general-purpose AI coworker that can assist with many types of work, but it is not built specifically for continuous calendar optimization and time management.
AI task scheduling
More info
Reclaim automatically syncs and schedules tasks in your calendar by priority, duration, deadlines, and real availability, then keeps those plans current automatically as the week changes. Claude can assist with scheduling via prompts, but it doesn’t automatically find time for tasks or dynamically adjust your calendar as priorities and conflicts change.
AI Focus Time
More info
Reclaim proactively protects Focus Time on the calendar and continuously rebalances it around meetings, deadlines, and shifting priorities. Claude can help with schedule focus time if prompted, but it is not an always-on system that automatically protect focus time or resolves conflicts.
AI rescheduling & conflict resolution
More info
Reclaim continuously optimizes the calendar by automatically rescheduling tasks, Focus Time, habits, and meetings when conflicts appear. Claude can create and update calendar events when prompted and approved, but it is not a calendar-native system that automatically repairs scheduling conflicts across the week.
AI-powered recurring events (Habits)
More info
Reclaim allows you to create AI-powered recurring “Habits” that find the best time using your smart scheduling windows and preferences, and automatically reschedules them as meetings, tasks, and availability change. Claude can set up recurring tasks when prompted, but only as fixed events that don’t flex to maximize your availability or reschedule for conflicts.
AI-powered recurring meetings (Smart Meetings)
More info
Reclaim proactively manages recurring meetings by finding the best time on the calendar for all attendees and continuously adapting around conflicts, PTO, and time constraints. Claude can help set up recurring meetings when prompted, but it does not have the power to optimize the meeting time for all attendees at every recurrence or auto-resolve conflicts for you.
Team OOO Calendar
More info
Reclaim automatically tracks and shares Out-of-Office time across teams in a shared calendar, then proactively adjusts meetings and tasks around availability so work stays on track without manual coordination. Claude does not provide a shared team OOO calendar or automatically adjust meetings and tasks around Out-of-Office time.
Meeting limits & no-meeting days
More info
Reclaim lets teams set meeting caps on scheduling links and protect no-meeting days so calendars automatically preserve larger blocks of uninterrupted focus time. Claude can adjust calendar events when asked, but it does not enforce meeting limits or no-meeting-day policies across calendars at a policy level.
Buffer time, breaks, & travel time automation
More info
Reclaim automatically schedules breaks, travel buffers, and prep time around meetings so calendars preserve the space people need to transition, recover, and arrive prepared. Claude can create or adjust calendar events when asked and approved, but it does not continuously protect buffers as an always-on calendar optimization system.

AI-powered focus time protection

Claude Cowork can help plan work or suggest ways to protect time when prompted, but it does not actively manage or defend focus time on a live calendar. 

Reclaim builds focus protection directly into the calendar. Automatic scheduling and continuous rebalancing keep Focus Time protected around meetings, tasks, and changing priorities. As the week evolves, focus blocks stay defended, interruptions get minimized, and long stretches of deep work remain intact, without requiring manual upkeep.

Meetings that adapt in real time

Claude Cowork can assist with scheduling when asked, but it does not continuously adjust meetings as conflicts arise or priorities change.

Reclaim keeps meetings aligned in real time. Continuous adjustments account for conflicts, availability changes, and shifting priorities, while maintaining balanced schedules and protecting space for focused work. The result is a calendar that evolves dynamically instead of requiring constant manual correction.

Organization-wide time optimization

Claude Cowork supports individual productivity, but it does not model or manage time across teams or enforce changes at the organizational level.

Reclaim optimizes time across the organization. Calendar data is continuously analyzed to model how time is spent across focus work, meetings, and fragmented schedules. Those insights feed directly into scheduling policies—like focus time protection, calendar fragmentation reduction, and buffer time enforcement—that automatically reshape calendars at scale, turning time into a controllable, organization-wide system.

“My work schedule has changed significantly since I started using Reclaim. It's been a game-changer! I would be lost without it.”
