Clockwise shut down on March 27, 2026, after Salesforce acquired the team, with about a week’s notice and no data export. If you relied on it, you are not looking for a feature comparison — you are looking for what to do now. This post is about one specific piece of that: if you used Clockwise to keep your calendars in sync, here is how to move that to Hetk, and where Hetk honestly does not replace what you had.
First, the honest part
Clockwise did two quite different jobs. One was AI scheduling: focus-time protection, automatically moving meetings around, smart suggestions. The other was the plumbing underneath, keeping multiple calendars showing the same events.
Hetk does the second job and not the first. It is a calendar sync tool, full stop. It does not rearrange your day, protect focus time, or suggest meeting slots. If those AI features were the reason you used Clockwise, Hetk is not your replacement, and tools like Reclaim or Morgen are closer to what you want.
But there is a reason this post exists. After the shutdown, a recurring note in the community was some version of “I only used it for the calendar merging, I found the AI part annoying.” If that is you, the part you actually used is exactly the part Hetk is built for.
What you used Clockwise for, and where it lands in Hetk
| What you did in Clockwise | In Hetk |
|---|---|
| Saw all your calendars merged in one view | Sync each calendar into the one you live in, so events show up everywhere |
| Blocked personal commitments on your work calendar | Sync personal → work with “Mark as Private” so they appear as “Busy” with no details |
| Kept Google and Outlook agreeing | Bi-directional sync between Google and Microsoft 365 |
| (Apple users) had no good option | Native iCloud support over CalDAV |
| Paid ~$6.75/user/month | $15/year, or $2/month |
Moving over
There is nothing to migrate in the data sense, since Clockwise deleted everything, so there is no export to bring across. What you are recreating is the set of sync rules. That takes a couple of minutes:
- Go to app.hetk.io and sign in with Google or Microsoft.
- Connect your other calendar accounts: the second Google, the Outlook, the iCloud.
- For each pair of calendars you want to agree, create a sync and choose its direction.
- For anything that should reserve time without showing details, turn on “Mark as Private.” This is the equivalent of the busy blocks Clockwise put on your work calendar.
The 21-day trial gives you full access with no credit card, which is enough time to confirm it does the part you needed before you decide.
“Will Hetk shut down too?”
A fair question to ask of anything you are about to depend on, especially the week after a tool vanished on you. Hetk is built by a solo founder in Estonia, self-funded, with no investors and no acquirer to sell the team to. Clockwise did not fail; its team got bought, and the product went with them. That particular risk is not present here. The pricing is set to cover its own costs rather than chase growth, which is the boring property you actually want in a tool that holds your calendar together.
