BEYOND FOCUS TIME
What you get with UCals that Clockwise doesn’t offer.
Conversational AI, not just optimization
Clockwise rearranges meetings automatically to create focus blocks. UCals lets you manage everything through natural language — “move gym to 9,” “cancel all meetings Wednesday,” “add 30 min prep before my call.” You stay in control.
Your whole life, not just work
Clockwise focuses on work meetings and focus time. UCals manages 11 life categories — meals, exercise, travel, sleep, lessons, free time, and more. Your calendar reflects your actual life.
Individual-first design
Clockwise is built for teams — it shines when coordinating schedules across an organization. UCals is built for individuals who want to manage their own life, not coordinate a team’s calendar.
Multi-currency cost tracking
Track what your week costs right on each event — gym in dollars, lessons in baht, dinner in euros. Clockwise has no cost tracking at all.
Per-day customization
Your Monday is different from your Friday. UCals lets every day have its own locations, times, and routines. Clockwise applies the same focus time preferences across all days.
One-word undo
Every change UCals makes is reversible. Say “undo” and your calendar snaps back. You see a clear before-and-after for every modification.

I said "cancel all meetings Wednesday and move my gym to 9am" — two changes, one sentence. I can't go back to dragging events around.

The cost tracking alone is worth it. I can see exactly what my week costs across three currencies. No spreadsheet, no app switching.

Setup took literally 60 seconds. Connected Google Calendar, typed my first command, and it just worked. I was on Reclaim for months trying to configure rules.

Questions
How is UCals different from Clockwise?
Clockwise is a team-focused tool that optimizes your work calendar by rearranging meetings to create focus time blocks. UCals is an individual-focused AI calendar that manages your entire life through natural conversation — work, meals, exercise, travel, and more. Different tools for different problems.
Does UCals create focus time blocks like Clockwise?
UCals takes a different approach. Instead of automatically rearranging meetings, you tell UCals exactly what you want: “block 2 hours for deep work every morning” or “keep my afternoons free on Wednesdays.” You stay in control of every scheduling decision while UCals handles the execution.
Is UCals good for teams?
UCals is currently designed for individuals who want to manage their entire life — not just work — through conversation. If you need team-wide meeting optimization and focus time coordination across an organization, Clockwise may be a better fit today. UCals team features are on the roadmap.
Can I switch from Clockwise to UCals?
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar and you’re set in 60 seconds. Your existing events sync automatically — nothing to migrate, nothing to rebuild. Since Clockwise also works through Google Calendar, your events are already there.
What if I want both focus time and life management?
You can use both tools together since they both sync with Google Calendar. But many users find that UCals covers their focus time needs through conversation: “block deep work from 9 to noon every day” works just as well as an optimization algorithm, with the added benefit of managing meals, exercise, travel, and everything else.
How does pricing compare?
UCals is $15/month (or $10/month billed annually) with everything included. Clockwise has a free tier with limited features, and paid plans range from $6.75 to $11.50 per user per month. UCals offers one simple plan with conversational AI, cost tracking, 11 life categories, and full per-day customization — no feature gates.

Founder & DeveloperI built UCals because I was spending 20 minutes every Sunday rebuilding my calendar for the week ahead. I wanted an assistant that understood plain English and just handled it.
