# Clockwise is shutting down. Your calendars still need syncing.

Clockwise focused on AI time-blocking for work calendars. CalendarPipe takes a different approach: give you full control over what syncs, how it looks, and where it goes — across Google, Outlook, and Apple Calendar.

## Where Clockwise falls short

Clockwise has strengths, but here's what users run into.

### Work calendars only

Clockwise was built around work productivity — focus time, smart holds, meeting optimization. If you needed personal + work calendar sync, you were stuck with limited 'Busy' blockers.

### Google-first, Outlook in beta

Clockwise's Microsoft support was always in beta with feature gaps. Apple Calendar? Not even on the roadmap.

### No control over what syncs

Clockwise decided what to sync and when. You couldn't filter events, transform titles, or strip sensitive details before they crossed calendar boundaries.

### It's gone on March 27, 2026

Clockwise is directing users to Reclaim.ai, but that's not the only option. You deserve a tool that focuses on what you actually need: reliable calendar sync.

## Why teams switch to CalendarPipe

### All your calendars, one tool

Google, Outlook, and Apple Calendar — all connected. No beta labels, no workarounds. CalendarPipe treats every provider as a first-class citizen.

### You write the rules

Filter by keyword, transform titles, strip attendees, skip weekends. Use the visual builder, describe what you want in English, or write code. Your sync, your logic.

### No install on the other end

Synced events arrive as standard calendar invitations. The recipient doesn't need to sign up or install anything.

### Set up in 2 minutes, not 20

Connect your calendars, pick a template or describe your rule, and you're done. No onboarding wizards or configuration marathons.

## Frequently asked questions

Common questions about switching from Clockwise.

### Is CalendarPipe a direct replacement for Clockwise?

Not exactly. Clockwise focused on AI time-blocking and meeting optimization for work calendars. CalendarPipe focuses on calendar sync with programmable rules. If your main need was keeping personal and work calendars in sync, CalendarPipe is a better fit. If you relied heavily on Clockwise's focus time AI, CalendarPipe takes a different approach — you set explicit rules instead of letting AI rearrange your schedule.

### Can I import my Clockwise settings?

There's no direct import from Clockwise. But setting up CalendarPipe takes about 2 minutes: connect your calendars, pick what to sync, and you're live.

### Does CalendarPipe work with Apple Calendar?

Yes — Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar are all fully supported. This was one of Clockwise's biggest gaps.

### How much does CalendarPipe cost?

There's a free-forever plan with 2 calendar connections and 1 sync rule. Pro is $4/month for unlimited connections, rules, and faster sync.

### What happens to my Clockwise scheduling links?

CalendarPipe doesn't offer scheduling links — it focuses purely on calendar sync. If you need scheduling links, you can pair CalendarPipe with a dedicated tool like Cal.com or Calendly.
