Hetk vs Reclaim.ai
Hetk and Reclaim.ai solve different problems. Hetk syncs events across providers. Reclaim schedules your work with AI.
Different tools for different problems
Hetk and Reclaim.ai are frequently mentioned together, but they solve fundamentally different problems.
Hetk syncs calendar events across providers — Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and Apple iCloud. It keeps your calendars in sync so you don’t get double-booked across accounts.
Reclaim.ai is an AI scheduling tool that automatically blocks time for tasks, habits, focus time, and meetings within a single calendar system. Its “calendar sync” feature is limited to blocking availability between your own calendars — it doesn’t copy events across providers.

When to choose Hetk
Choose Hetk if your problem is keeping multiple calendars in sync across different providers. Common scenarios:
- Syncing a personal Google Calendar with a work Outlook account
- Keeping client calendars aligned as a freelancer or consultant
- Syncing board seat calendars with your primary work account
- Any setup involving Apple iCloud
Hetk copies actual event data (with configurable privacy controls) and works across Google, Outlook, and iCloud in any combination.
When to choose Reclaim.ai
Choose Reclaim if your problem is finding time in your schedule for tasks and deep work. Reclaim’s AI features — Focus Time, Habits, Smart Meetings, Buffer Time — are designed to optimize how you spend your time within a Google or Outlook calendar.
Reclaim’s “calendar sync” blocks availability between your own calendars but doesn’t sync event content across providers and doesn’t support iCloud.
Can you use both?
Yes. They don’t overlap. You could use Hetk to sync events across your Google and Outlook accounts, and Reclaim to auto-schedule focus time and tasks within your primary work calendar. The two tools complement each other.
