I have been very happy with Akiflow for planning my day and seeing all my tasks in one place.
Akiflow pulls everything together to see the full picture of your day. Instead of checking in multiple project management tools for tasks, it puts them in one spot and checks them off in the pm tool when you're done. Keeps me from having to be in multiple tools throughout the day.
Would like AI scheduling for tasks to plan out my day.

So far really nice. It really helped me keep track of to-dos that otherwise would have been lost.
- Ability to easily create tasks and assign them to projects - Mac shortcut to create a task on the fly
- 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!

I love it! I cannot see myself working without it anymore!
Takes some getting used to all features, but there are loads of tutorials. It improves my productivity, being super easy to create tasks on the fly (so I don't forget them later), track work completed per #tag (i.e. projects). I can schedule meetings from there and share my availability. I love the stats and daily shutdown ritual to plan the next day. The integrations with email and slack is brilliant, I can quickly set a reminder/flag an email and it pops up as a Task in my Akiflow inbox.
Currently, it is not possible to customise meetings created via Akiflow. When creating a zoom meeting it will have the most strict security settings, such as await lobby and disabling participants to share screen.

Great product with great support..definitely a product market fit for their offerings
Interface, scheduling link, and slack channel for useful tip and support
Mobile app was initially harder to use. But this is changing

It took the stress off for me. I know all my tasks from all my tools are there, and I can easily plan them on my calendar. Many "extra" features are nice like time slots, stats and the share availability (it's like calendly, but integrated with all my calendars)
The mobile app was not the best until a couple of months ago, but it has been working well for some time now, and when I asked, they told me they were ready to release it to the stores.

Sometimes, I got overwhelmed with what to focus on personally to move the needle forward in my business. Akiflow solved that for me. The time blocking made me more effective in doing the actual task at hand.
I've been doing Notion consulting for start-ups for over 4 years, but I felt very limited in my task management and time-blocking possibilities. Implementing Akiflow as my personal task management tool it really improved my personal productivity levels. It gave me more mental clarity on what to focus on. Notion now helps me to plan projects and measure progress for the team, while Akiflow supports me in personal productivity and getting things done on a task level.
I recommend Akiflow to all my clients to use it for their entire team, the pricing point is sometimes a breaking point for their entire team, but are using it for themselves.

It has been so wonderful to be on the Aliflow journey this past year - optimising my workflow and being impressed by the new features and being part of the awesome community on Slack
This is the perfect app I found that nails the workflow of collecting all your tasks, planning into work days/weeks, the assigning tasks to calendar space - I felt so much more organised and productive once I had learnt to use it
The app improves regularly, but I think there are some some areas left to address such as richer task context/descriptions and subtasks, being able to schedule them separately

It's amazing - great way to keep track of all my tasks from various tools, easy to use. Replaced calendly for me. I love being able to see all my meetings and tasks in the same place, as it helps me be more realistic about planning out my day. I can even drop things directly in time blocks on the calendar if i want to.
I can sync with multiple tools to have everything in one inbox rather than having to force everything else into a tool. For instance, it connects with gmail, slack, trello, notion, etc... so I can collect my tasks wherever they are created. I also like the keyboard shortcuts and being able to quickly maneuver and view all my tasks in the most useful views.
Occasionally there are issues with the Trello sync, and delays here are frustrating as it makes me fear my data isn't being synced all the time. But these tend to be resolved fairly quickly and overall I have confidence in them.

I've tried all similar apps and solution - usemotion, sunsama, Friday, clockwise and many others. This is the one that holds me, and I Suspect I'll be a user for many years to come. I can't overstate the impact this has had on my efficiency. It's a fantastic tool.
Crazily easy to use, great use of keyboard shortcuts, solid core of functionality. It turned my calendar into my organisational tool. Just phenomenal. No pointless features - just solid design and implementation.
I wish the confirmation page for the bookings didn't include an ad for the product. This is the one thing that stops me cancelling Calendly.

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

I'm user of Akiflow since mid 21. So far I really loved and enjoyed the product. It's among the best experience I had with a software. Everything it's great and suits my habits
I love how easy to centralize your tasks from all your sources (mail, slack, notion, etc.) and to dispatch them on a calendar view. I love the reminder before tasks and meetings. I can manage my schedule with a glimpse of an eye. Terrific!
No cons encountered yet. I think they definitely know their 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.
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.
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.

I use Akiflow for task management, reminders, and calendar management! It undoubtedly speeds up my work flow and gives me mental clarity.
So easy to use and begin integrating! The capture features are so intuitive for me. The dev team is extremely kind and responsive.
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.

Overall it's been a really wonderful experience using a software and interacting with developers who are clearly passionate about their product!
I think this software does an amazing job integrating task management with calendar management for seamless time blocking. The slack channel is also very active and the developers are very open to feedback/bug fixes which is a huge help!
My main issue would be that I hope they put out certain features like more sorting options quicker, but I've been so impressed by their speed of development so far I'm sure the features I'd like are coming soon.

So far I've had a great experience with Akiflow. The passion from the development team is really evident and I am blown away by the dedication to listening to users.
I love how fast and sleek the design of this application is. Too many task management systems are clunky and require a lot of time dedicated to maintaining them. I haven't found this with Akiflow and it is really simple to replan when the unexpected happens.
I am desperate for iOS apps to allow me to use Akiflow when I'm on the go or simply not at my desk. Being able to capture things that pop into my head is really important and I'm currently using Apple Reminders for this, but would really like to capture all of this in the one system.

Akiflow goes beyond the todo list + calendar combo. With his constant updates, it's a product is always evolving in comparation of the slow grown and innovation of other apps. And with his philosophy of how productivity works, aims to be one of the best productivity apps on the market.
Akiflow is missing very few things, but if I had to mention one, it would be its integration with Office 365.

Using Akiflow for all my day-to-day task management has been a game changer for me. it helped me speed up my workflow and be more productive, there's no learning curve. It's just so easy to use right out of the bat that you can be productive in minutes.
- it's easy to use. - the ability to drag and drop tasks into the calendar. - quickly creating and capturing tasks anywhere using the command bar. - having All My tasks and calendars in the same place. - the simplistic look and aesthetic.
Waiting for fo the mobile app . . .

I am in love with this app. It is a game-changer and I will continue to use it for as long as it exists.
Great team building a powerful task consolidation program which makes it painless to have all the tasks, events, reminders, and messages in one, well-organized location. Additionally, it is beyond easy to categorize, prioritize, and schedule each task/project through their tagging features, priority metrics, due dates, and time blocking methods. The real beauty is that you can use all of these features or only a few, as the system is flexible and capable for any personality/workflow.
It is still in Beta so there are still a few bugs but none that are critical, and there is no mobile yet, although it will be released soon as of this review.

I try every new productivity tool I can get my hands on. Most involve lots of tradeoffs and force me to evaluate the switching cost. Akiflow integrates with all of my existing tools (no switching cost) and the app is really well thought out. It's boosted my productivity meaningfully.
Brings in tasks from many tools and helps you manage them against your calendar. The UI is very slick and they really emphasize keyboard shortcuts and fast workflows.
Doesn't have a mobile app (but coming soon I hear)

Great tool for planning day
I love being able to have tasks that I can add to my calendar as time blocks
recurring tasks can't be scheduled in calendar. Also you need to be an admin to integrate w/ notion. (probably a notion issue)

Just life-changing. It was a "simple" feature that I needed for years and finally someone created it. So happy to finally be able to manage my tasks and events in the same tool and in a visual calendar.
Best thing for me is being able to DRAG&DROP from a ToDo list to a Calendar and automatically syncs with everything. So easy to connect to all tools like Google Calendar, Gmail, Slack and Zoom. The inbox is like magic.
iOS version still missing, so only available for Mac at this moment.

It’s really helped me to plan better, stay focused, and see the progress I have made.
Akiflow allows me to see my meetings and plan my tasks with estimated durations around those meetings and my lunch and breaks. I can plan a more realistic day which leaves me feeling more accomplished at the end of the day.
Patiently waiting for more 2-way sync integrations with other project management tools. The inability (at this time) to integrate with Outlook calendar accounts.

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