Weekly Review

I use Akiflow to capture everything I need to do, from major projects to quick thoughts and small tasks. I’d love a structured review feature similar to the one in OmniFocus. A review workflow would help me trust that anything I quickly capture will resurface at the appropriate time. It would also make it easier to remove outdated tasks, reduce noise, and keep projects relevant and actionable. Ideally, the feature would include: A dedicated Review view showing every project that is due for review, along with a badge displaying the number remaining. A customizable review cadence for each project—for example, weekly for active projects, monthly for less urgent ones, or annually for long-term goals. A focused workflow that lets me open each project, inspect its tasks, add or update actions, and remove anything no longer relevant. A “Mark as reviewed” button that records the review, schedules the project’s next review according to its cadence, and removes it from the current queue. A clear way to move through the queue one project at a time until the review is complete. I know it’s possible to review projects manually, but the value of a dedicated system is that it tracks what needs attention and when. That structure creates confidence that tasks won’t disappear into the system—even when they were entered quickly just to get them out of my head.

Add "Routines" / Recurring tasks overdue

Problem: Akiflow has no good way to track daily/recurring habits (yoga, journaling, reading). Events can't be checked off, so there’s no way to track. Recurring tasks can, but a missed instance doesn't simply stay, it becomes overdue and stacks in the backlog while a new instance is also created for the next day. Miss a few days and you're manually deleting stale entries just to keep the app usable. Example: I set a daily recurring task "Morning yoga," skip it Monday. Tuesday I have two yoga entries: Monday's, overdue in the backlog, and Tuesday's fresh. This compounds every missed day and piles up the app. Already a known gap: This makes recurring tasks really inconvenient and there are already several posts highlighting the same problem: "Mark a task as Not Done," 36 upvotes, open 2+ years: https://product.akiflow.com/p/mark-a-task-as-not-done https://product.akiflow.com/p/automatically-deletemarked-as-complete-clogged-overdue-tasks-on-a-recurring Solution Several possible approaches: Toggle on recurring tasks: "don't carry over if missed". Incomplete instances just expire instead of going overdue and left on the calendar unchecked for visibility New activity type, "Routine": checkable like a task, but never becomes overdue when missed. Could be later expanded into a brand new product module with habit tracking (like https://ticktick.com/) Do not put recurring tasks in overdue at all Examples: Morgen already solved this with a separate Routines type: time-blocked and checkable, no backlog, no rollover: https://www.morgen.so/guides/morgen-routines-guide Ticktick solves it with a separate habit tracker: https://help.ticktick.com/articles/7055781878401335296
