Reclaim centers automatic calendar agents for Focus Time, Habits, Buffer Time, Smart Meetings, and meeting quality. You set priorities and scheduling windows; Reclaim keeps finding space as the week changes. Tilly starts from the visible day and helps you make the next calendar decision yourself.
Reclaim writes protected time and scheduled work into Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar. That makes it useful when a team already lives in one of those calendars and wants automation without adopting a separate daily dashboard. Tilly provides its own iPhone Today experience and connected web planner.
A rule-based schedule saves repeated dragging, but the rules need accurate priorities, durations, working hours, and privacy settings. Test how lower-priority blocks move when a critical meeting arrives. With Tilly, the recurring maintenance is simpler: keep the right calendars visible, review conflicts, and confirm any focus block or task change.
Reclaim offers a free entry plan and paid tiers with higher agent limits, so the useful test is small. Begin with one focus goal or recurring habit and let an actual meeting disrupt it. Check whether the rescheduled time remains realistic, whether colleagues see the right availability, and whether personal details stay private across connected calendars. Add more rules only after that behavior earns trust. Tilly’s equivalent test is one busy day: connect the same calendars, protect one block, and compare how much direct control you want to keep.
Choose Tilly when you want a dedicated iPhone daily view, iCloud alongside Google or Outlook, and a lower-automation workflow where the final calendar action remains visible and deliberate.
Choose Reclaim when Google Calendar or Outlook is already the team’s operating surface and automatic focus goals, habits, buffers, and flexible meetings should keep adapting in the background.
A clean demo calendar hides the tradeoffs. Use ordinary meetings, changing priorities, more than one account, and the device you carry during the day.
1
Protect one focus goal in a genuinely crowded week.
2
Add a higher-priority meeting and inspect what moves.
3
Check what personal event detail crosses into a work calendar.
4
Compare the free limits with the number of scheduling rules you need.
Yes. Reclaim documents full Outlook availability alongside Google Calendar, with Focus Time, Habits, Tasks, Smart Meetings, and other scheduling features.
Tilly helps find and protect focus time, but it keeps meaningful calendar changes explicit instead of continuously rearranging the week.
Reclaim is the stronger fit when recurring automation is the priority. Tilly is the stronger fit when a readable personal day and direct control matter more.
The better choice is the one whose daily behavior matches how you want decisions to be made.
