Clockwise vs Hive
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Clockwise and Hive — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Clockwise vs Hive: at a glance
What is Clockwise?
Clockwise shut down on March 27, 2026—data deleted, Reclaim.ai designated as the migration path.
Clockwise has closed. All services ended March 27, 2026; prepaid subscribers receive pro-rated refunds and all user data is scheduled for deletion shortly after that date. The company has formally partnered with Reclaim.ai as the recommended successor for users seeking AI-powered calendar optimization.
What is Hive?
Hive keeps polishing dashboards: donut charts, project-date windows, and desktop split view.
Hive is a project management suite with a creative-proofing layer and Buzz, its AI assistant. The 2–3 November batches centre on dashboards: App Studio apps run inside widgets, external data gets number tiles, donut charts and custom colors, and time-series charts can follow project start and end dates. The desktop app adds split view for two tabs side by side.
Clockwise vs Hive: editorial side-by-side
Clockwise shut down on March 27, 2026—data deleted, Reclaim.ai designated as the migration path.
◆ Current state
Clockwise has closed. All services ended March 27, 2026; prepaid subscribers receive pro-rated refunds and all user data is scheduled for deletion shortly after that date. The company has formally partnered with Reclaim.ai as the recommended successor for users seeking AI-powered calendar optimization.
◆ Where it's heading
There is no trajectory—the product is in wind-down. The recent changelog entries are shutdown FAQs covering refunds, data deletion, scheduling link deprecation, and the Reclaim migration guide. The formal Reclaim partnership suggests a structured handoff rather than an abrupt closure.
◆ Prediction
The product no longer exists. Reclaim.ai is the designated successor. Any remaining Clockwise calendar events (Focus Time, Smart Holds) were removed from user calendars at shutdown.
Hive
6.3COLLABPM
Hive keeps polishing dashboards: donut charts, project-date windows, and desktop split view.
◆ Current state
Hive is a project management suite with a creative-proofing layer and Buzz, its AI assistant. The 2–3 November batches centre on dashboards: App Studio apps run inside widgets, external data gets number tiles, donut charts and custom colors, and time-series charts can follow project start and end dates. The desktop app adds split view for two tabs side by side.
◆ Where it's heading
Hive is turning dashboards into the place where project data, outside data and small custom apps meet, with Buzz and the MCP server as the build and automation layer. The pace is high and the moves are incremental, one widget option at a time. AI Proofing remains the other active thread.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Connected data sources and widget types, and Buzz building or configuring dashboard widgets from a prompt, since the recent entries keep adding to the same surface.
