Is Reclaim.ai Shutting Down? No — But Here's What You Should Know
If you’re here because Clockwise just got shut down and you’re worried Reclaim.ai is next, take a breath: Reclaim is not shutting down. It’s owned by Dropbox and continues to operate normally. The nervousness is understandable — Reclaim and Clockwise were close competitors, and watching one disappear makes you wonder about the other — but they’re in very different situations.
Here’s the full picture, and the one thing worth thinking about.
What’s actually going on with Reclaim
Reclaim.ai is the AI calendar tool that auto-schedules tasks, habits, and focus time around your meetings. It was acquired by Dropbox in August 2024, and rather than being shut down, it became part of Dropbox and kept running. Dropbox announced the move directly in its Reclaim is now a part of Dropbox post.
That’s the key contrast with Clockwise:
- Reclaim was acquired as a product and kept operating. It’s an active part of Dropbox, not a discontinued app.
- Clockwise was an acquihire and got shut down. Salesforce took the team for Agentforce and turned the product off in March 2026, deleting user data. (We covered that in Is Clockwise shutting down?.)
So the headline event that has Reclaim users worried — Clockwise’s shutdown — is not a signal about Reclaim. They were acquired by different companies, at different times, for different reasons, with opposite outcomes for the product.
Is Reclaim still safe to rely on?
As of now, yes — Reclaim is still operating under Dropbox, and there’s no announced shutdown. If it does everything you need, you don’t have to switch.
The honest caveat is the one that applies to any acquired product, including Reclaim: when a tool you depend on is owned by a larger company, its long-term roadmap is ultimately that company’s call. Clockwise is the cautionary tale for the category, not because Reclaim is on the same path, but because it’s a reminder that an acquisition can eventually go either way. If a tool being load-bearing in your week makes you uneasy about that, it’s reasonable to want a backup or to prefer a tool that isn’t sitting inside someone else’s acquisition.
If you want to lower your acquisition risk
If the Clockwise news made you want an option that isn’t a feature inside a bigger company’s portfolio, that’s a fair instinct.
Carly is an AI executive assistant that works over email and text and is built as its own product around exactly this job — so it isn’t a calendar feature waiting to be folded into something else or switched off.
- It runs your calendar and protects time. Carly books and moves meetings and can block focus time and time for tasks.
- It manages tasks with time-blocking. Tell Carly a to-do and it holds a slot to get it done.
- Daily briefings keep you ahead of your schedule. Carly can text or email a rundown of what’s coming up and what’s due.
Pricing starts at $35/month.
None of this is a reason to drop Reclaim if it’s working for you — it’s still running. But if you’d rather compare your options, we keep a roundup of Reclaim alternatives, and the Reclaim vs Clockwise comparison is useful background on how the two tools differed before Clockwise went away.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
