Reclaim: The Calendar AI That's Calmer Than Motion

Reclaim is an AI scheduling assistant that sits on top of Google Calendar. It automatically schedules tasks, protects habits (weekly exercise, reading time), and defends focus time. Launched in 2020 and often compared to Motion, Reclaim is the more restrained of the two — it does less aggressive packing, provides buffer time, and respects user pushback more gracefully. By 2026 it has hundreds of thousands of users, many migrated from Motion.

• Habits — set 'exercise 3x/week' and Reclaim finds time automatically.
• Smart 1:1 scheduling — finds mutually-free times between teammates.
• Task scheduling — less aggressive than Motion, more flexible with priorities.
• Focus time defense — blocks 2-4 hour deep-work windows per week.
• Free tier is generous — real users can live on free forever.
• Integrates with Asana, Todoist, Jira, Google Tasks for task sources.

• Google Calendar only — no Outlook support as of 2026.
• Project management is lighter than Motion's — not a full work management tool.
• Advanced features gated to paid plans — free tier is a teaser.
• Team features are newer and less mature than Motion's.
• Scheduling logic is opaque — when it moves things, not always clear why.

• Free: 1 calendar, basic habits, limited tasks — genuinely usable.
• Starter: $10/user/month — unlimited habits and tasks.
• Business: $15/user/month — team scheduling, analytics.
• Enterprise: $27/user/month — SSO, advanced admin, dedicated support.

Who should bother: Google Calendar users who want gentle scheduling assistance, people who burned out on Motion, anyone balancing work with personal habits. Who shouldn't: Outlook users, people who need aggressive enforcement, teams needing full project management. Reclaim is the better fit for most humans who tried Motion and recoiled.
