LifeWork Calendar automatically blocks out personal events on your work calendar to keep your schedule defended, ensuring you’ll never miss out on life again.
It’s free, and it only takes a couple minutes to set up.
Here's a peek at what LifeWork Calendar does:
🤹♀️Automatically defends your personal calendar from work overbookings
🔒Keeps your details private while still showing free/busy time to others
🌈Automatically color-codes and Emojifies personal events
🆓Preserves your free time by only blocking events you've accepted
📊Provides you with stats about where your time is going
💬Lets you manage and stay up-to-date on personal events via Slack
LifeWork Calendar was built by the Reclaim team, a group of product folks based out of Portland, OR who care deeply about getting busy professionals to “inbox zero” on their calendars.
We spent months researching this space, talking to users, and tried to understand the jobs that people are currently doing manually on their calendars today to keep their time defended. There's a lot of nuance to it. For example, LifeWork is aware of the fact that you may not want to show that you're busy for every single personal event on your calendar, just the ones that you're actually going to go to. That's why we sync your RSVP status instead of just blindly syncing and blocking off everything. This kind of thinking makes its way into the broader Reclaim product, which is currently in private beta.
The biggest competitor to this is probably Clockwise, which lacks some of the functionality that we've built into LifeWork and is generally more focused on developers, whereas we're focused on the people who we think are feeling the most pain from their calendars and live/die by them -- the managers and IC-level program leaders who just can't get a reprieve from their endless meetings.
We've had over 250 users sign up since we soft-launched a few weeks ago, and we're pretty excited to see the results: lots more people making time for their personal lives, less calendar juggling, and a better work-life balance.
