About Reclaim Saturday
Welcome
Hi! I'm Brian Coleman, and I started Reclaim Saturday because I was tired of sacrificing weekends to busywork that robots could do better.
​
After spending years in marketing, watching my work weeks creep from 40 to 50 to 60+ hours, I discovered something revolutionary: AI tools could handle 80% of my repetitive tasks better than I could.
​
But here's the problem—nobody was talking about which AI tools actually worked. Every review was either:
​
-
Written by someone who never used the product
-
Sponsored by the company selling it
-
So technical that normal people couldn't understand it
So I did something crazy. I started buying every AI tool I could find, testing them with real work, and sharing brutally honest reviews.
Getting to Know Reclaim Saturday
When we review an AI tool, we buy it with our own money and use it for real work for at least 30 days. We're not running quick demos or playing with free trials. We're using these tools to write actual reports, manage real projects, and automate genuine business tasks. Then we track everything: How much time did it really save? How often did it mess up? Was it worth the learning curve?
​​​
Since launching in 2024, we've been on a mission to test every legitimate AI tool we can find. So far, that's meant purchasing and thoroughly testing over 127 different tools across every category from writing assistants to video editors to workflow automation platforms.
​
The impact has been incredible. Our readers report saving an average of 12 hours per week after implementing our recommendations. That's not marketing fluff—that's data from our annual reader survey. We've also negotiated exclusive discounts with the tools that actually work, saving our community over $50,000 in subscription costs.
​
But what we're most proud of is the community we've built: over 5,000 professionals who've decided that working smarter beats working harder. They share tips, troubleshoot together, and celebrate every hour they reclaim from busywork.
