Clockwise shut down.
LifeLoad picks up where it left off.
LifeLoad captures self reported cognitive load after every meeting, auto-detects unscheduled calls across Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack Huddles, Webex, and FaceTime, and blocks smart focus time around your real schedule. It delivers daily and weekly AI insights, tracks burnout trajectory, measures recovery time, flags after hours and weekend meeting creep, and gives org leaders anonymized churn risk from real calendar data. A lightweight native Mac app that works offline. Clockwise created 8 million hours of focus time before shutting down. LifeLoad picks up where it left off and goes further.

See the meetings Clockwise never could
Clockwise only worked with what was on your calendar. LifeLoad goes deeper, detecting active calls across Zoom, Teams, Meet, Slack Huddles, Webex, and FaceTime at the system level on Mac. The ad hoc calls that fragment your day without a trace finally count toward your workload.
Clockwise measured time. LifeLoad measures how it feels.
An hour of deep work and an hour of back to back meetings are not the same. LifeLoad captures post meeting cognitive load ratings in the moment (1 to 5), blending them with calendar signals to build a personalized picture of your actual workload. This is what your calendar cannot tell you on its own.
From focus time to burnout prediction
Clockwise protected focus time. LifeLoad takes that further with burnout trajectory tracking, recovery time measurement, and weekly reflections that tell you what happened and what to change. For org leaders, it surfaces churn risk from real schedule data, not quarterly surveys nobody fills out honestly.
A native app, not a browser extension
Clockwise was a Chrome extension and web app. LifeLoad is a lightweight native macOS app that lives in your menu bar and works offline with limited features. No browser tab to keep open, no extension to manage. It is just there when you need it.
LifeLoad vs Clockwise: common questions
Is LifeLoad a good Clockwise alternative?
Yes. If you relied on Clockwise to protect focus time and understand your meeting load, LifeLoad covers that need with a different philosophy. Rather than quietly rearranging your calendar, it makes your real load visible so you can decide what to change.
Does LifeLoad automatically move meetings like Clockwise did?
No. LifeLoad does not shuffle events around on your behalf. It blocks smart focus time around your real schedule and shows you where meetings are fragmenting your week, but it leaves the rescheduling decisions to you. The goal is awareness, not silent automation.
How does LifeLoad protect focus time?
LifeLoad finds the gaps in your real calendar and proposes focus blocks that fit your actual rhythm, then tracks how often that time survives contact with meetings. Combined with cognitive load scores and burnout signals, it shows whether your focus time is truly protected or just theoretical.
