OnlyBusy vs Clockwise

What they are for
Clockwise created focus time and rescheduled flexible meetings inside the calendars it was connected to. That is a focus-time product, not a private label across client tenants.
As of 3 October 2026, getclockwise.com says the product is no longer available starting 27 March 2026.
What OnlyBusy writes
OnlyBusy writes a private Busy event so Scheduling Assistant and Find a time see the hour as taken.
It does not create focus time, and it does not move meetings to a better slot.
Who should stay with them
There is no current Clockwise plan to stay on. Their site says the service ended on 27 March 2026.
People who still want focus time, habits, and smart meetings are pointed at Reclaim on that same page.
Who should add OnlyBusy
Add OnlyBusy when the problem is a client's scheduler offering hours that are already booked in another tenant.
That was not Clockwise's job. Reclaim is the successor they name for focus time. OnlyBusy is the Busy label.
