Salesforce has acquired Clockwise, the calendar management platform that helps professionals optimize their schedules. The company will be shutting down operations beginning next week.

Clockwise offered users an intelligent scheduling assistant designed to consolidate meetings, protect focus time, and streamline calendar management across their workday. The tool had gained traction among teams looking to reclaim productivity from fragmented schedules.

The acquisition marks the end of Clockwise as an independent service. Users of the platform should prepare for the transition, as the shutdown is imminent. Salesforce has not yet publicly detailed how Clockwise's capabilities might be integrated into its existing productivity offerings or what support will be provided to current users during the transition.

This move reflects Salesforce's ongoing strategy of acquiring specialized productivity tools to strengthen its ecosystem, though the immediate discontinuation of the service suggests the company may be consolidating features rather than maintaining a standalone product.
