“Clockwise has completely transformed how I manage my time. No more back-and-forth messages to figure out when people are free, I love that Clockwise takes care of that by automatically finding the best meeting times for everyone. One of my favourite features is how it intelligently moves meetings to create larger blocks of focus time, which has seriously boosted my productivity. Plus, sharing calendar links is effortless. It's so much easier to coordinate with external partners this way compared”
“My experience with Clockwise — I disliked it so much that we moved to Athena — I like med the registration portal when it was working. Made registration simple for our patients when we had the system. — I didn’t like the fact that when the aratem would go down we would need to move to paper. the program would glitch frequently causing huge issues with our EMR.”
“Clockwise is the kind of tool I dreamt of as an Executive Assistant for many years. It makes it incredibly easy to schedule and reschedule meetings, find time to meet across busy calendars, and schedule meetings with external parties without the annoying back-and-forth of sending availability via email. Not only does Clockwise reign supreme in the scheduling department, but it also helps me reserve enough time for deep work, which is critical for maintaining creativity and delivering high-impact”
“It is inconvenient to go around other people's calendars to find good slots to propose meetings. Moving meetings or optimizing the agenda is also a tedious and time-consuming task. Since using Clockwise this has become natural, simple and without too much effort. With the right information Clockwise can really make the job of scheduling meetings easier, especially when you have a lot of them. I use it every time I need to plan a meeting. I've never felt the need for customer support services. I ”

“It builds in the focus time that I need, but that I find too cumbersome for me to consistently put in place myself. I like that the AI scheduler responds to changes in my calendar even before I do. I've found that it's positively impacted my productivity, and made my colleagues more sensitive when it comes to booking over pre-allocated time in my calendar too. For a single user, I think the price is also reasonableand it was also easy to integrate with key tools I already use for work, e.g. Outl”

“They just shut their services down without any prior notification. Would be weary of ANY software product by the founders since they couldn't even give a common courtesy of an advanced notice. Just do their exit and then put "we are out" notice on their website. So if you ever see "ex-getclockwise", just ignore and get another piece of software. They only care about their "exit".”

“Great time management tool! | Well suited when managing time slots amongst various teams within an organization. It is very useful when in a time crunch to quickly schedule a time for a large group of people. | Pros: Dedicates travel time for any offsite meetings. | Pros: Dedicates personal "breather" time built into your schedule. | Pros: Allows for collaboration meetings across departments. | Cons: Sometimes I am unable to remove the "travel time" slot booked on my calendar for offsite meeting”
