@ben_shope 10/10 best customer review yet! 🌶
Spencer Caton
Clockwise is amazing! I was introduced to it by a colleague just a few short weeks ago and already almost half of my company is using it. As a PM, I both have lots of meetings but also really value heads-down time. Clockwise has done a great job clumping all my meetings together and giving me the space to do extended independent work.

I recommend clockwise to every engineering and product team I work with.

Pros:

Easy, efficient and lovely to look at.

Cons:

I wish there were versions for different sub-groups of teams (marketing, sales, eng, etc).

Such a smart idea, but good luck magically moving these meetings when dealing with multiple attendees. Meeting scheduling is still so painful, especially with more than 2 attendees and with people you don't have access to their calendar.

@joshuapinter this is why we're focused on automatically moving internal meetings to start — if all attendees are internal (you're all on the same GCal domain) we can check availability in real time. In fact, we go one step deeper than just free/busy and check timezones, inferred preferences, and focus time for all attendees. Now, to your point, external meetings are different — we'll get there someday, but for most folks, internal meetings are the majority of their daily meeting workload.

@voxmatt Awesome, man. Best of luck!

If it's limited to being a chrome extension connected with Gmail, then it's limiting it's market - and doesn't appeal to me specifically. Additionally, it doesn't appear to take into account that maybe the other people you're meeting aren't going to accept your proposed changes. If you've worked in large organisations with many attendees finding time to get everyone together is already a challenge - when one person attempts to change a meeting time, then get ready to rumble.

Pros:

Anything that can help streamline calendar time is great!

Cons:

limited to being a chrome extension connected with Gmail. What happens when other attendees don't accept your proposed changes.

Hi Gavin! Thanks for the review! We plan to expand beyond chrome & Gmail, so hopefully will have something that appeals to you in the future! Clockwise actually would only move a meeting to a time that works for every attendee (whether or not they are a Clockwise user) – so if there's a less disruptive time for those larger meetings that works for everyone, Clockwise will find it!

After each week you can see a little summary of what meetings were moved and how focus time was consolidated. Satisfying to see!

Pros:

improves my daily schedule without me doing anything.

Cons:

Hmm, would like it if my entire org was required to use clockwise for further optimization.

Personally I have enough of an issue letting humans control my time, the thought of letting an AI do that dot not appeal in the slightest to me. I think if you end up in a position where you need to start using AI to create some order in your otherwise maxed out schedule, you should probably go read the book "Essentialism" and learn to get better at saying no in the first place and treating your time as a more precious asset. I can see the target audience here though (its just not me, but then I'm weird so thats perfectly OK) and good luck with the product! In the mean time I'll be off being busy being unbusy :-)

@jasondainter Thanks for sharing! We'll check out "Essentialism". "Deep Work" by Cal Newport inspired a lot of the theory behind what we do, in case you're interested in learning more!

Super sweet app. The world needs more focus time.

Pros:

* Seamless integrations * Sweet on-boarding flow * Highly customizable; Choose aggressive or gentle nudges towards increased focus time

Cons:

Mobile app!

Colin Curtin

Not much more to tell. It does what it days on the tin -- which is very rare.

Pros:

Clockwise provides little nudges to clean up my calendar and it looks for opportunities to create focus time for me and my team. I love it.

Cons:

I would love an extension to room booking (we really don't have enough meeting rooms).
