Slack

About

Slack is where your team talks. Reclaim knows when each person is in a meeting, in focus, or open. Connect them and that scheduling context shows up in Slack, so teammates can see when not to interrupt and coordinate around real availability without a scheduling thread.

Reclaim keeps your Slack status, focus signals, and schedule notifications in sync with what's actually happening on your calendar.

Top Benefits

• Status that matches your calendar: Reclaim auto-updates Slack status from real calendar events, with customizable messages that preserve privacy.
• Create Tasks from any message: Turn a Slack message into a Reclaim Task that lands on the calendar in seconds.
• The /reclaim shortcut: Create tasks, share Scheduling Links, view your agenda, and tweak settings without leaving Slack.
• Focus, protected: Auto-set Do Not Disturb during Focus Time so deep work stays deep, and clear status as soon as meetings end.
• Chat with the assistant inside Slack: Manage your time without leaving Slack. Resolve warnings, find time, and get proactive nudges about overload.
