Clockwise shut down on 27 March 2026 after its team joined Salesforce. If the part you relied on was your Slack or Microsoft Teams status following your calendar, Don't Interrupt does that one job, works in Teams too and starts free; Clockwise's FAQ pointed people to Reclaim, a calendar planner whose Slack status sync is only on paid plans.
When Reclaim makes sense. Reclaim, the partner Clockwise's FAQ names, makes sense if you also want your calendar planned for you, and it imports Clockwise's .json export. Don't Interrupt only sets your status, so it isn't a full Clockwise replacement.
“I can't think of any other piece of technology that brought me as much mental peace at work as Don't Interrupt. All my Slack notifications are silenced when I'm in a meeting and I can pay attention to what is being discussed.”
Checked 3 October 2026 against 5 vendor pages. Where a vendor's pages don't say, we write “not documented”, never “no”.

Try Don't Interrupt freeClockwise's own page says its team is joining Salesforce and that the product stopped being available on 27 March 2026. Its FAQ says prepaid subscriptions were refunded pro rata, and that there is no transfer of data to Salesforce and your data will be deleted. The same FAQ names Reclaim as the alternative it partnered with, and doesn't say Reclaim is the only option.
For exporting, Clockwise's FAQ points data questions to its support email. Reclaim's help says an exported Clockwise .json file can be imported through its settings. See Reclaim and Don't Interrupt compared for the detail.
There is nothing to import: Don't Interrupt needs your calendar and your Slack or Teams account. Sign up, connect them, and choose what a meeting, your lunch and your evenings do to your status. See how to pause notifications during meetings and how to put the meeting name in your Slack status.
Don't Interrupt is bootstrapped (see the about page) and reads your calendar to set your status. Read the privacy policy and security page before connecting any calendar.
We make Don't Interrupt. Everything about Reclaim comes from the pages below, read on 3 October 2026. Where they're silent we write “not documented”. We haven't run their products.
