Your focus tool got acquired and killed. Again.
Clockwise is gone. Reclaim is Dropbox's now. You've been re-homed once already this year. Resett is built differently: every meeting we move ships a predicted minute-gain and a receipt afterward proving the focus time actually came back — and you can export everything and walk out the door any time.
We don't ask you to trust another vendor's promise. We hand you a ledger you can audit — and the exit door is always unlocked.
The pattern
Focus tools keep getting acquired — and discontinued.
This isn't bad luck. The category has a churn problem: small focus startups get bought, folded into a bigger suite, and either sunset or quietly de-prioritized. Your team pays the switching cost each time.
Clockwise
SunsetAcquired by Salesforce, and the standalone product was wound down — the focus-time feature many teams standardized on went away with it.
Rise Calendar
Shut downThe smart-scheduling calendar app is no longer operating — another focus-oriented tool that didn't outlive its acquisition.
Reclaim
AcquiredReportedly acquired by Dropbox. Still running today — but your renewal decision is now a bet on a roadmap controlled by a much larger company.
These are the documented facts of the category, not a knock on the teams who built those products. The point is structural: when a focus tool is a feature inside someone else's suite, your continuity depends on their priorities — not yours.
What's different about Resett
Built so you never have to take it on faith.
01 / Accountable
Every move ships a receipt
Each meeting we suggest moving carries a predicted minute-gain. After the move, we measure whether that focus time actually showed up and record the predicted-vs-realized delta. Competitors made claims; we keep a ledger you can audit.
02 / Independent by design
The exit door is always unlocked
Full one-click data export and account deletion ship in settings. The methodology is open, every number is reproducible from your own data, and we never hold your history hostage. Leaving is a feature, not a support ticket.
03 / Science-grounded
Personalized, and cited
We find the meetings sitting on each person's peak window — set by their chronotype, not a generic 'mornings are for focus' rule. Every recommendation carries a peer-reviewed citation and an A/B/C evidence grade, shown inline.
The science we plan around — that switching tasks leaves attention residue which degrades the next task — comes from Leroy & Glomb 2018. (The popular “23-minute recovery” figure isn’t cleanly sourced to a paper, so we use it only as an internal planning estimate, never as a cited claim.) Chronotype-personalized peak windows draw on the Adan et al. 2012 review. Every claim in the product links to its paper.
Switching is easy
Four steps. No card. No surveillance.
The whole loop fits one coffee break. Nothing on your calendar moves until you approve it — and every change is undoable.
Connect Google Calendar
We ask for calendar access to read your schedule and — only when you approve a move or a focus block — write that change back. Nothing is modified without your approval. Disconnect any time.
Take the chronotype quiz
A 2-minute chronotype quiz. We compute your personal peak window instead of assuming everyone's brain peaks at 9am.
See your week's leaks
A timeline shows every meeting overlapping your peak window, color-coded by how much focus it's eating.
Move one meeting — we measure
Pick a movable meeting; we propose a slot with a predicted minute-gain. Apply it, then watch us measure whether the gain landed.
The diagnostic is free, no card required. Every step is undoable, and every recommendation cites a peer-reviewed paper.
Make this the last switch
See it on your own calendar — free.
Connect Google, take the 2-minute quiz, and watch Resett surface the meetings sitting on your team's peak hours — with a citation on every call and a receipt on every move. No card. Nothing changes on your calendar until you approve it.
