Stay on Reclaim if
Your subject is the calendar itself: habits to keep, meetings to fit across several calendars, focus to defend — and your projects live perfectly well elsewhere.
Comparison
Reclaim defends your time inside Google Calendar: habits held, focus time protected, meetings placed automatically across several calendars. It holds the slots; it does not hold what you are meant to do in them.
Straight answer
Reclaim is an excellent calendar keeper, and on that ground it is ahead of us: its two-way Google Calendar sync is native, ours is planned and not yet shipped. Equilibrition takes the other half of the problem, which is what the slot contains.
Your subject is the calendar itself: habits to keep, meetings to fit across several calendars, focus to defend — and your projects live perfectly well elsewhere.
Your focus blocks are protected but empty of meaning: two hours on the calendar never say which project moves, or what was decided last time.
What breaks
None of this is a flaw in Reclaim. These are three places where an independent — someone with no border between work and personal life — ends up doing the joining by hand.
Reclaim guarantees the hour. What has to happen in it, with which notes and which decisions, sits in another tool.
Exercise, weekly review, focus windows: all held well. A three-month client engagement or a house move is not a habit.
The rules and integrations speak meetings, buffers and availability. Personal life exists as an event, not as a project tracked by domain.
