What is Clockwise?

Clockwise shut down on March 27, 2026—data deleted, Reclaim.ai designated as the migration path.

Clockwise has closed. All services ended March 27, 2026; prepaid subscribers receive pro-rated refunds and all user data is scheduled for deletion shortly after that date. The company has formally partnered with Reclaim.ai as the recommended successor for users seeking AI-powered calendar optimization.

What is Hive?

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

Clockwise vs Hive: editorial side-by-side

C0.0

Clockwise shut down on March 27, 2026—data deleted, Reclaim.ai designated as the migration path.

◆ Current state

Clockwise has closed. All services ended March 27, 2026; prepaid subscribers receive pro-rated refunds and all user data is scheduled for deletion shortly after that date. The company has formally partnered with Reclaim.ai as the recommended successor for users seeking AI-powered calendar optimization.

◆ Where it's heading

There is no trajectory—the product is in wind-down. The recent changelog entries are shutdown FAQs covering refunds, data deletion, scheduling link deprecation, and the Reclaim migration guide. The formal Reclaim partnership suggests a structured handoff rather than an abrupt closure.

◆ Prediction

The product no longer exists. Reclaim.ai is the designated successor. Any remaining Clockwise calendar events (Focus Time, Smart Holds) were removed from user calendars at shutdown.

Hive turns reporting into a planning tool: shared inputs, grouped values, per-person drill-downs.

◆ Current state

Hive's November releases have two tracks. Bulk work got easier with undo and redo, a rebuilt Workflows library and now setting or shifting dates across many actions at once. Reporting got deeper: on November 13 dashboards gained per-person burndown drill-downs, grouped custom-field values in charts, and formulas that read monthly capacity and factors stored in Tables.

◆ Where it's heading

Dashboards are moving from showing tracked time toward capacity planning, with shared inputs that update every report when edited. Bulk editing keeps reaching more views, and each new bulk action ships with undo.

◆ Prediction

Expect more report widgets to accept Tables inputs and drill-downs, and bulk actions extending to fields beyond dates and status.
