Reclaim manages your calendar. Central manages your workday.
Get your hours back. Inbox handled, meetings captured, tasks created, CRM updated. All without lifting a finger.
Never miss another call.
Smart scheduler vs. executive assistant.
Reclaim is a genuinely excellent AI calendar tool. It protects focus time, schedules habits, auto-reschedules around conflicts, and syncs tasks from Asana, Todoist, and Linear directly into your calendar. For professionals with meeting-heavy schedules who want their calendar to manage itself, it delivers.
Reclaim does not touch your inbox. The tasks that arrive by email go nowhere without manual entry. The follow-ups that get dropped stay dropped. Central handles everything Reclaim leaves untouched: inbox, follow-ups, meeting notes, CRM updates, and the full picture of your day, connected to everything your business already knows.
Your calendar is organized. Your inbox is on its own.
Reclaim's scope is your calendar. It does not read your email, extract tasks from threads, draft replies, update your CRM, or write meeting notes. If your tasks arrive by email (they do), they require manual entry before Reclaim can schedule them. You also need a separate task manager, and a subscription to it, before the system works at all. Reclaim optimizes the time you have. It does not act on the signals that determine what fills it.
What this means in practice:
No inbox connection: email triage, drafts, and follow-up tracking are outside Reclaim's scope
Tasks from email require manual entry or a separate integration to reach Reclaim
A separate task manager (Asana, Todoist, Linear) is required and billed separately
No CRM integration: deal updates and contact records stay manual
No meeting notes or action item extraction
Outlook support requires Starter at $8/user/month; free plan is Google Calendar only
From inbox to outcome. Automatically.
Central connects to your inbox, calendar, CRM, and Slack. It surfaces what needs a decision, drafts the reply, creates the task, and keeps the record current. No separate tools to subscribe to before the system works.
Every signal that comes in becomes an action taken.
What this means in practice:
Inbox sorted, replies drafted in your voice, no-reply reminders sent automatically
Meeting requests become calendar invites without you touching a thread
Tasks created from email automatically, no manual entry required
CRM updated as deals move and clients respond
Meeting notes written and action items extracted after every call
Works with Gmail and Outlook; no separate task manager required

"Reclaim was great for protecting focus time but it had no idea what was in my inbox. Tasks were still arriving by email and going nowhere. I added Central and everything connected. Tasks created automatically, meetings booked from threads, CRM staying current without me touching it."
