Very easy to use, automatically updates your slack stats based on your calendar while also providing daily stats about your schedule. The best feature is automatically scheduling lunch hours and meeting breaks for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main downside is that you can't compare your schedule to others and book meetings based on their preferences Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I loved Clockwise when I first learned about it. It was exactly what I needed on my daily basis:
- easy to install
- sync with my Google Cal
- mute the noitifications when I'm in meetings
- auto-status when I'm OOO
- having all great summaries of meetings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- all the pros got killed once I realized that Clockwise can't read do all that when you are traveling and change time zones: I have 2 time zones in my Gcal, one primary another one secondary, I always keep my GCal time zones up to date and I expected Clockwise to sync with GCal, sadly it doesn't. It keeps clearing my "Do not clear" status in Slack, keeps changing my hours to "Late hours" while I'm on the opposite side of the world and it's morning for me. I tried to re-install, delete etc. I don't have time to do something that should be part of the intetegration.
Maybe that's only my case but I just can't bother. I realized that the more apps you have and the more bugs and imperfections you have - early days you'd care to figure out the technical side of things but when it's an efficiency/productivity app and it fails on such a fundamental issue - I just don't have any bandwidth to even try to solve for this, while I have other apps I need to battle with their bugs.

My two favorite features are the auto-rescheduling that eliminates conflicts and the scheduling links which save me so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only major downside is you can't take advantage of all the features unless everyone you are meeting with is also on Clockwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It helped me categorize my calendar between 1/1s, group meetings and outside company meetings by colour coding my calendar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It wasn't very clear on how it would save my time by moving around meetings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clockwise has improved my productivity as a Software Engineer
It has number of good features such as Google Calendar integration with Slack which helps me to have an updated status on Slack.
I use it on daily basis as I have configured it with my calendar
It is easy to use and customise as well.
The implementation is quite easy and understandable.
Customer support also exceeds expectations! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing at the moment. I am happy and satisfied with Clockwise' performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The scheduler link is a godsend - I hate having to go back and forth on open times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When my calendar is more open, the automatic rescheduler works very well. When my calendar gets more full, it's not as functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As soon as manually set status time is over it automatically overrides it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Sometime there is delay of 5-10min to update status on slack
2. Option to set custom status message for after hours and before hours.
3. In between meets display custom status, like not available after, ooo etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clockwise makes it easy to schedule meetings with customers as it integrates directly with Google. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not everyone uses Clockwise, so sometimes it is difficult to schedule a meeting with a colleague not on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way it scheduled and move the importat things of the day, like lunch, focus time, when another partner uses is easy to shcedule an appoiment. I used daily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes doesnt consider the travel time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clockwise has earned my trust in managing my calendar. Our entire team uses it to optimize our calendars, and it works like a charm. The AI features are pretty good already too. The scheduling links are preferable to Google Calendar's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the Google Calendar integration is buggy and doesn't fully load. And, if you're not completely willing to trust clockwise to control your calendar, it will annoyingly move your meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
