Tasks by Reclaim.ai - Your to-do list finally meets your calendar.

Your to-do list is useless if you can't find the time to get stuff done. Tasks automatically blocks smart, flexible time on your calendar for all the things burning a hole in your backlog.

Hi, really like this product! although im having some issues. Are you planning to release a mobile app? Also happens if i dont do a task when its scheduled for...how does reclaim know i have been unable to do it and that it needs to find another time?
Maker
thanks for reaching out! We are indeed planning to release a mobile app and desktop app soon. We automatically consider a Task Event done when time passes over it. So if it's in the past, Reclaim thinks it's done. If you didn't actually do it, it's super easy to tell Reclaim that: just delete the event from the past. We'll take that as a signal that you still need the time, and we'll schedule it for the next available time slot in the future. You can also do this from our Slack integration :)
I am absolutely loving Tasks and the Reclaim app. As I make my calendar available externally and use my calendar to schedule TO-DOs Reclaim's feature set is incredible. On the personal front I love how I can create flexibility in my schedule for habits, family time, etc. I would love the ability to have greater control over calendar shifts and when a calendar is too tight for Tasks. For example, if you already have 4 hours of meetings booked on a day Tasks will not schedule something during that free time. Further, if I delete a Tasks schedule off my calendar Tasks will automatically find a time the next day to reschedule.

awesome to hear! Yes, this is definitely in line with our vision -- we've also heard requests for things like "Hey, I don't really want to do more than an hour of this task per day". Sort of a circuit breaker for your own mental sanity :) Another thing we're really interested in is actually starting to push toward negotiation. Imagine a world where Reclaim might say "Steven, you don't have time for this task this week, but if it's really urgent, here are 2 meetings you might consider rescheduling or dropping". Essentially bringing the tradeoffs to the fore so you don't have to hunt them down yourself.
amazing! i default to using my calendar as a to do list anyways, so this with the slack app makes it so easy
Maker
so glad you love it. don't forget to try out the "/reclaim task" command line trick as well as the message shortcut that lets you create a task from a Slack thread.
Does it support Apple Calendar yet without having to use a Google Calendar?
Maker
Today we only support operating on Google Calendars, but you don't have to use the Google Calendar app (we're app agnostic). So if your question is which app you can use, the answer is "any". If you're asking about the underlying calendar platform (Apple's iCloud vs Google's), then the answer is "not yet".
Maker
not yet. We likely will build O365 support first since that tends to be the second most common calendar platform for orgs. Apple is a bit harder to integrate with (particularly since it requires native auth through iOS), but we’ll get there!
I love Tasks!!
Maker
thanks! 🤟
YES! I love Reclaim's Habit feature, and I've been waiting for Tasks to help programmatically guide me in getting through my week. Reclaim is a lifehack for me - being proactive is a bigger mental lift for me then being reactive. So I take proactive things and feed it to Reclaim, then Reclaim schedules them on my calendar and my brain sees calendar items as "reactive" and I find myself making time for the tasks I wouldn't otherwise make time for! Win win! Thank you Reclaim team!
Maker
Thank you! We've loved having you as an early user and we're excited to see what you do with Tasks 🥳
Yay! So excited to have this, thank you for creating it!
Maker
Thanks mom LOL 🤫 💛
This has to be one of the best UX for task scheduling. Bravo!
Maker
wow, thank you so much for saying that. We think we have a long way to go on design and UX, but we're getting there. We want to create a world where you just don't have to think about your time and Reclaim sorts it out for you as you express your needs. Thanks so much for your support!
What happens when the tasks aren't complete on the specified times?
Maker
We automatically consider a Task Event done when time passes over it. So if it's in the past, Reclaim thinks it's done. If you didn't actually do it, it's super easy to tell Reclaim that: just delete the event from the past. We'll take that as a signal that you still need the time, and we'll schedule it for the next available time slot in the future. You can also do this from our Slack integration :)
This is indeed a much needed product!
Maker
💖 thank you for saying so! We're just getting started, and we think you're going to like what's coming next...
I have a major project due, and this keeps me from crowding out time for it. The tasks needed to get it done keep reappearing on my calendar leaving little room for distraction.👍👩🏼‍💻
Maker
awesome to hear! Bear in mind that you can interact with Task Events the same way you would other calendar events, and Reclaim will adapt. If you want to ever move those events, book over them, extend them, or delete them, Reclaim will work around your changes to keep things stable on your calendar. Let us know if you have feedback as you get up and running!
