Auto-lock your Focus Time, Habits, Tasks, and Smart Meetings

Set your events to auto-lock so your schedule doesn't change at the last minute.

This article refers to Reclaim 1.0 features and workflows. You can confirm your current app version in your User profile.

Reclaim offers options to lock your events ahead of time to prevent last-minute changes or reschedules from happening. Locked events won't reschedule automatically when booked over, and additionally will show as busy and unavailable time to others.

Events will be auto-locked:

  • When an event is manually moved or adjusted in the Planner or Google Calendar;

  • Based on your settings as outlined below.

Manage your auto-lock settings

You can tell Reclaim to automatically lock your Smart Meetings, Focus Time, Habits, and Tasks at the beginning of each day or week. This will run automatically between 1 AM and 2 AM in your timezone at the start of the day or week, and lock all applicable events to prevent them from moving.

To manage these settings, navigate to Settings > Scheduling.

Auto-lock features the following options:

  • Off (default for Focus Time, Habits and Tasks)

  • Auto-lock one day ahead (default for Smart Meetings)

  • Auto-lock one week ahead (locks on the starting day of the week)

Note: If your day or week is already locked, and you add a new Task / Habit / Smart Meetings for that time range, it will not automatically lock. To lock that newly-created event, either lock it manually, or toggle the setting on and off again.

How to unlock an event

Events will be unlocked when:

  • You unlock them directly by right-clicking on the event and selecting the Unlock option from the context menu;

  • You delete or use the Reschedule option;

  • You or an attendee decline the event (Smart Meetings only).
