Reclaim.ai
Reclaim.ai is an AI calendar assistant that layers on top of Google Calendar or Outlook. It auto-schedules tasks, habits, focus time, breaks and meetings, then reshuffles them as priorities move. A free forever plan is available.
What is Reclaim.ai?
Reclaim.ai is an AI calendar that sits on top of Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar rather than replacing either. Your existing calendar stays the source of truth, and Reclaim adds a scheduling layer that turns intentions into real slots, then keeps moving them as the week changes.
The product is organised around AI agents. Focus Time defends a weekly deep-work target. Habits place recurring routines, from lunch to exercise, inside smart time windows. Tasks pull work from Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Linear, Todoist and Google Tasks and give each item a slot by priority. Smart Meetings turn recurring invites into flexible events that reschedule themselves when they clash, while Meeting Quality agents chase missing RSVPs, absent video links and declined rooms. Scheduling Links cover booking pages, multiple durations and booking caps, and Buffer Time adds breaks, prep and travel around meetings.
Above all of that sits a conversational AI Assistant, reachable through MCP connectors such as Claude and ChatGPT, which proposes changes and waits for approval before applying them. Agent quotas scale with the plan: five on the free tier, ten per seat on Starter, a hundred on Business, unlimited on Enterprise.
For teams, Reclaim adds analytics built on the calendar itself, including a Deep Work Index, meeting load, fragmentation and departmental trends, presented as system-level insight rather than individual monitoring. Company-wide Initiatives standardise focus time, meeting agendas, buffer time, Slack notifications and no-meeting days, with SSO and SCIM provisioning on Enterprise.
The company claims 600,000 users across 70,000 companies, a 4.8 rating on G2, and averages of 7.6 extra focus hours and 2.3 fewer meetings per week. Security is documented in some detail: SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA and Data Privacy Framework compliance, AWS hosting in the United States, a published subprocessor list, and an explicit promise that customer data is not used to train language models without an opt-in.
Reclaim.ai Inc. was founded in 2019 in San Francisco by Henry Shapiro and Patrick Lightbody, and has been part of Dropbox since August 2024.

When to use Reclaim.ai / When not to
A quick filter to help you decide if Reclaim.ai is the right fit.
When to use Reclaim.ai
- Managers and team leads whose weeks are eaten by back-to-back meetings and who need protected time for deep work
- Product, engineering and design teams that already track work in Jira, Asana, Linear or ClickUp and want it scheduled automatically
- Executive assistants and admin staff juggling several calendars, who need delegated access to other people's schedules
- Sales, marketing and customer-facing teams that book meetings constantly and want smarter scheduling links than a plain booking tool
- Operations and HR leaders looking for calendar-level analytics on meeting load, fragmentation and work-life balance across departments
When not to use Reclaim.ai
- Anyone not using Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar: Reclaim layers on an existing calendar and cannot replace one
- Developers looking for a documented public API: only outbound webhooks are published, and only on Business and Enterprise plans
- Organisations that need their data to stay inside the EU: all hosting is in the United States, with no announced regional option
- People who want a native mobile app: the site advertises no iOS or Android application and links to no app store
- Teams shopping for a project management tool: Reclaim schedules tasks pulled from other systems, it does not replace them
How to use Reclaim.ai
A typical end-to-end flow, from setup to results.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Reclaim.ai handles your data.
GDPR overview
GDPR compliance is claimed in writing. The security page states that Reclaim complies with GDPR, SOC 2, CCPA and the Data Privacy Framework, and the mechanisms behind that claim are published rather than asserted. Transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, backed by certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension and the Swiss-U.S. Framework. A Data Processing Addendum sits online, with a signed copy on request. An Article 27 representative is named for the EU, Osano International Compliance Services Limited in Dublin, alongside a UK equivalent in Belfast. Data subject rights are listed in full and exercised through a dedicated DSAR form, reinforced by in-product self-service deletion. Complaints are answered within 45 days, with JAMS as independent recourse. Privacy questions go to privacy@reclaim.ai.
Who owns the data?
Reclaim states plainly that your data is yours. The security page commits to never selling or sharing calendar data for profit or co-marketing, and staff only look at calendar content if you ask them to during a support case, or in a rare critical emergency. Only the calendar attached to your account is stored; calendars connected for Calendar Sync are held in memory just long enough to copy an event. Deletion is self-service and wipes calendar data within an hour. Where an employer pays for your access, Reclaim acts as a processor on that employer's behalf, so the employer, not you, sets the terms.
Reuse rights
The published documents describe what Reclaim does with your data rather than granting you a licence over anything it holds. Personal and calendar data serve a listed set of purposes: running the service, blocking time, producing your analytics, answering support requests, sending administrative and marketing email, preventing fraud, improving the product and meeting legal obligations. Logs are anonymised before they reach subprocessors, and calendar data is encrypted in transit and at rest. The privacy policy is explicit about generative AI: personal, calendar and app data will not train a large language or other generative model unless you have given prior explicit consent or opted in through the product. OpenAI is the only AI subprocessor listed, and it is opt-in only. Content you create inside the tool, such as tasks, habits and scheduling links, stays yours to export, edit or delete at any time, and account deletion removes it.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Reclaim runs its infrastructure on Amazon Web Services and states that all data is hosted in the USA, with redundancy between the us-east-1 and us-east-2 regions. Every one of the nineteen subprocessors on the published list sits in the United States, among them AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Cloudflare, Stripe, Intercom and Datadog; OpenAI appears separately, in an opt-in AI section. Calendar data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and Reclaim says it follows the AWS CIS Benchmark. The AWS facilities themselves carry SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI Level 1, HITRUST and ISO 27001 audits. For users outside the United States, transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and by certification under the EU-U.S., UK and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks. No European or other regional hosting option is offered, so a European customer should assume its calendar data physically leaves the EU. Availability is claimed at 99.9%, with a public status page.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Reclaim.ai.
- Connecting Reclaim means granting broad access to your calendar and contacts on Google or Microsoft, so read the requested scopes before accepting them
- The published impact figures are the vendor's own, with no methodology behind them, and the site's own counts disagree from one page to another
- Letting an agent rearrange your week can erode the habit of deciding what matters yourself; the approval step exists for a reason, so use it
- Calendar analytics that measure focus, meeting load and fragmentation are easy to turn into individual performance monitoring, whatever the stated intent
- All data lives in the United States, which may not sit well with a European employer or anyone with strict residency requirements
- The registered address is a private mail box in San Francisco, not necessarily an operational head office
- Reclaim has belonged to Dropbox since August 2024, so roadmap, pricing and support commitments now depend on a third party
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low. Setting Reclaim up means creating an account, with no credit card, and granting OAuth access to a Google or Outlook calendar; permissions are requested just in time and documented on the security page. Nothing is installed locally, though a free Google Calendar add-on is available. The rest is configuration inside the product: a focus goal, habits picked from a template library, task lists to connect. Only two things need technical hands, namely webhooks on Business and Enterprise, which require an HTTPS endpoint and signature verification, and enterprise rollout with SSO and SCIM.

Should you pick Reclaim.ai?
Reclaim.ai has been around since 2019 and it shows. The product is not a calendar you switch to but a scheduling layer you bolt onto the one you already run, and that single decision explains most of what follows: adoption costs almost nothing, yet the tool is worthless if you are not on Google Calendar or Outlook.
What it does well is turn intentions into time. A focus goal, a set of habits and a task list in Jira or Asana all become real slots that move themselves when the week fills up. Add meeting rescheduling, buffers, booking links and calendar-level analytics, and one subscription covers ground that usually takes three separate tools.
The privacy posture is stronger than the category average. SOC 2 Type II, a dated subprocessor list, a public DPA, an Article 27 representative in Dublin and a written commitment that no customer data trains a language model without an explicit opt-in: that last point is rare enough to be worth noting.
The reservations are practical rather than principled. Everything is hosted in the United States, with no announced European option. There is no documented public API, only webhooks, and only on the higher tiers. No mobile app is advertised. The pricing table is layered, with four tiers, different annual and monthly rates and add-on packs for meeting attendees, and the site's own figures do not always agree with each other from page to page.
Finally, Reclaim.ai has been part of Dropbox since August 2024. Nothing on the site suggests a change of course, but a product whose roadmap now belongs to a larger owner deserves a second look before a company-wide rollout. For an individual the free plan makes the question academic: it costs nothing to find out.
