I've tried many task management software tools and will be sticking with Akiflow!

Reviewed on 15/09/2022

Best task management software I've used to date.

Best task management software I've used to date.

Pros

The two biggest pros are the ability to manage one's task list within a calendar, and the responsiveness of the Akiflow team on its Slack community.

Cons

I really hope they add import/export features soon - these are important. I double manage my to-do list in Excel and Akiflow because I am concerned about losing data. I shouldn't have to do this - it should be backed-up and exportable. I also hope they add HIPAA compliance so I can use my work email and calendar here too.

Time blocking is probably one of the best productivity method out there and Akiflow make it easy to apply it. You just have to run your rituals, and plan your day and you're good to go, you can change your calendar as much as you can as well for everything is here to help you to get things done and it's flexible as well too!

Pros

Everything! The quick capture tool, the design, the notifications, the tags, the labels, the folders.Everything is great, I love to use it everyday, the colours make it very easy to read and see everything.The rituals are also a great addition to plan your day.

Cons

Honestly, I love everything about this app already, probably a few improvements can be made on the mobile app with a better quick capture functionality but the team already made a lot of improvements overall. And I'm curious how AI can help Akiflow to get to the next level!

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Choosing Akiflow

I'm a productivity nerd, always looking for the best ways to be productive (it's not really productive to do that to be honest) and Akiflow better suits my needs.

Reasons for Switching to Akiflow

It was alright. Helped my fix up some of my to-do lists, but I realised I could just do tasks and focus time within Google Calendar.

Pros

I liked the ability to create my tasks and label them. Easy to drop into my calendar.

Cons

A lot of missing features (in my opinion). It would be great to have contacts, share my availability easily and be able to use it on my phone easily.

Great product

Reviewed on 26/07/2024

Pros

It's efficient. Decent iOS widget. Works across phone and mac seemlessly. Reliable. Great support. Best integrations and simple gmail integration.

Cons

The features are a bit basic on some level, but make up for it by working. I've used lots of other products that are more full featured, but their flaws and bugs make them more challenging and unreliable.

Akiflow is an amazing solution that cuts across task management, calendar management and project management. It has robust integrations making it versatile and easy to use.

Pros

- The ease of scheduling tasks and getting notifications when my meetings and activities are about to start.
- The ritual feature especially Shutdown helps me review my day and what I was able to achieve.
- Seamless integration with Gmail, Trello and Todoist helps me avoid context switching.
- The discounted pricing makes it affordable especially for personal use.

Cons

- It can be considered pricey for an organization to implement across the board compared to alternatives.
- Sometimes the Mobile app doesn't load for certain devices requiring the use of the Web App which is less intuitive.

Overall, my favourite time-blocking and planning tool! I use it throughout the day for my planning and time-blocking activities. Great functionalities and seamless integration with Google Calendar, ClickUp, and ToDoist.

Pros

In my opinion, Akiflow is the best app for time-blocking and planning. It has a very user-friendly interface, easy to setup, easy to integrate with other applications such as Google Calendar, ClickUp, etc, and has all the functionalities you need for planning, time-blocking and scheduling tasks.

Cons

There are some minor issues from time to time when moving tasks by dragging them, however, it is easily fixed by just refreshing your page. Also, switching from an event to a task once you schedule it is not straightforward.

Life changing tool

Reviewed on 23/07/2024

Pros

The thing I liked the most about Akiflow is the fact that it helped me visualise and taking control of my time during the week. I used to manage my time randomly, procrastinating tasks and forgetting a lot of not urgent (but important) things to do. With Akiflow I started considering my week as a clear, defined itinerary with no more deviations or bumps on the road. Plus, I really like how deep you can go in organising your tasks, using different layers of control on them (tags, projects...). This helps me when I start feeling overwhelmed with too many tasks and I need to prioritise them quickly. Also, the thing that Akiflow automatically creates a task about an important email, and when you open the task you find the link that takes you directly to that email is absolutely awesome.

Cons

It happened just a couple of times that I noticed a little problem with the mobile app, but they always fixed the problems super quickly.

So far really nice. It really helped me keep track of to-dos that otherwise would have been lost.

Pros

- Ability to easily create tasks and assign them to projects
- Mac shortcut to create a task on the fly

Cons

- Lacks calendar automation features (e.g. projects being bound to different calendars, e.g. personal tasks book time in personal calendar)
- Task organisation is not the best - sometimes I struggle finding tasks I created, and it's quite easy to forget them if you don't schedule them right away
- Pricing seems a bit high - Akiflow is definitely not cheap!

Akiflow is currently my number one task tool. Its features beat the rest. I can warmly recommend Akiflow to anyone.

Pros

Akiflow's time blocking features are the best available. I have tested out dozen apps like this, most notably Sunsama, Todoist, TickTick and Akiflow has the best performance (speed), ease of UI (slick user interface), fastest keyboard shortcuts. I completely stopped using Todoist and I've used it for 10+ years. Akiflow has the potential to be the best task manager out there. Highly recommend.

Cons

There are some features still missing like sub tasks and reminders. Mobile app is currently in beta and lacking features. Nothing is a show stopper though and Akiflow has proven itself to be developing on weekly basis. Customer support is great. I have high hopes for this product.

Great product for ease of mind and stress reduction

Reviewed on 04/09/2023

Pros

I love how Akiflow gives me peace of mind everytime I feel overwhelmed with life and responsibilities. Having the ability to dump things on lists, and organise them as visual boxes on the calendar always helps me feel like there is time for everything and all is gonna be ok. I tried almost every tool there is on the market, and can't really tell what it is about Akiflow I keep coming back, but the truth is that for me, no other tool comes even close. I do miss the native Apple Calendar integration, which is why I keep looking at other products, but other than that, Akiflow is becoming a tool I can't live without.

Cons

As mentioned, I miss the native Apple calendar integration, as well a more stable mobile app. I believe all will come with time.

Reviewed on 04/09/2023

Pros

I like the integrations with many of the tools that I use. The integrations themselves could be better but they do the job well enough for me to keep track of all my tasks and pending actions.

Cons

I think it is a product still being built and so there are features with less polish or there are gaps in functionality or unexpected results. I know they are being fixed.

The best tool to start making moves with your tasks

Reviewed on 22/03/2022

Pros

I love that I can pull in tasks and to-dos from various sources - Asana, Email, Slack - and have one source of truth to then time block the tasks and make moves with what matters. Akiflow has become invaluable for this - a dashboard of productivity and a catch-all to make sure nothing gets forgotten about.

Cons

The biggest thing it's missing is an iOS app - but this is already being worked on. And I'm happy to wait for a product that's been thought-out and not rushed.

There are other nice-to-haves and improvements coming - 2 way Asana sync for example. Everything I have a comment on is already being worked on.

Pros

Cons

My only complaint about the product is the price. I'm utilizing Akiflow alongside other personal data/knowledge management tools. I think the price is a bit high for a tool that doesn't meet all of my needs, but it does what it does so well that I'm willing to pay it, and am lucky enough to be able to. I'm hoping that pricing tiers will become available as Akiflow takes on more users.

Great experience, both thanks to the app, which I am now using to plan my week and day, but also thanks to the team (they are very responsive). I also see a lot of potential in the app: I believe it will become even better in the next months.

Pros

The product has a ton of features and integrates with a large number of productivity apps. The team seems to implement new features quickly and has an ambitious roadmap. The app also has a ton of shortcuts which really help being more productive.

Cons

The UI might not be as pretty as other competitors. I also feel that there could be more organization tools for when one has a lot of integrations or a lot of items in their inbox. Lastly, for now I use todoist as my task management app, but it would be awesome to have many of the features of todoist directly in Akiflow.
