Sync birthdays from Apple Contacts into Akiflow
Display birthdays from Apple Contacts in Akiflow. The iCloud Calendar integration currently excludes Apple's Birthdays calendar, so birthdays visible in Apple Calendar don't appear alongside other events in Akiflow. Ideally, birthdays would update automatically when a contact is added or changed, without needing duplicate recurring events.
True Color" rendering option for calendar blocks
"True Color" Rendering for Events, Tasks, Projects, etc. Introduce a toggle or setting for "True Color" rendering so that events, tasks and projects on the calendar view keep 100% of the actual hex colors selected in the picker. Currently the color picker offers 28 distinct choices, but the UI automatically transforms them once applied, rendering them pale in Light Mode or heavily desaturated in Dark Mode. While this keeps the text readable, it dampens the color profile to the point where similar hues become indistinguishable, which hurts quick scanning and time-blocking for users who rely on precise color-coding. To maintain legibility without sacrificing color vibrance, the UI could adopt a dynamic text contrast system similar to Google Calendar: Highly saturated or dark backgrounds automatically swap to crisp white text. Lighter backgrounds retain dark text. The suggestion is addressed to the Akiflow team; Akiflow's layout and speed make it an excellent tool for managing a busy schedule.
Automatically add Travel Time to events with a location
Add Travel Time automatically to events that have a physical location, starting from the saved default starting location, instead of adding it by hand on each event.
Travel Time: default duration
Let people set a default travel duration that is used when they add Travel Time to an event.
Make Travel Time easier to find and see
Some people found Travel Time hard to find at first, since it sits next to the event location, and say they have to hover over the location to see it. Make it easier to add, for example from the event's options menu, and show it more clearly in the event.
Travel Time on tasks and Time Slots
Travel Time works on events only. Add it to tasks and Time Slots too, or let people add a travel block on its own without an event. Examples: a Time Slot for an on-site appointment, or a daily commute to the office that isn't a meeting.
Travel Time: public transport
Add public transport (bus, train) as a transport mode for Travel Time, next to car, bike and walking.
Travel Time: traffic-aware estimates and updates before leaving
Travel Time estimates don't include traffic, so they can come out short in busy cities. Use traffic for the expected departure time, re-check closer to the event, and move the leave-by reminder if the trip gets longer. Also requested: estimates in countries where they aren't available today, such as South Korea.
Travel Time: save several starting locations (home, work, gym)
Travel Time keeps one default starting location. Let people save a few named starting locations, such as Home, Work or Gym, and pick one with one click, or suggest addresses they used before.
Travel Time: add travel after an event (return trip)
Travel Time blocks the trip to an event only. Add the option to also block the trip back after the event, for example returning home or to the office, ideally set up together with the trip there.
Search across both events and tasks
Add an option to search across events AND tasks. The new search (at least on desktop) seems to only search for either events OR tasks. Sometimes an event may be entered as a task or vice versa depending on the device's default setting, so results in one category can be missed.
Instant sync of Linear changes into Akiflow
Changes made in Linear (new issues assigned to me, due date changes, status updates) can take up to about 5 minutes to appear in Akiflow. Asana changes show up within seconds. Please make Linear changes appear in Akiflow instantly, the same way Asana does, so I don't need to press Cmd+R / Ctrl+R to pull them in.
Subtasks on recurring tasks
Allow recurring tasks to have subtasks, so the same subtasks come back with every occurrence of the parent task. Today a recurring task can't have subtasks, and a parent task or a subtask can't be made recurring. Use case: a monthly "Admin Tasks" parent task with the same checklist of subtasks each month (for example paying B&O taxes), and recurring client check-ins that follow the same steps each time.
Project-based tree view for Todoist tasks
Add a project based view/tree view for Todoist tasks, so that the view in Akiflow is similar to the one in Todoist.
Todoist two-way sync does not update Akiflow
Two-way sync with Todoist does not update Akiflow: removing a project from the list of synced integrations doesn't remove it from the inbox (a full reset of the integration is required), and marking things as completed or deleting tasks in Todoist doesn't update automatically in Akiflow.
MCP tools to manage folders, projects, sections and tags
The Akiflow MCP can create, edit, move and complete tasks, and it can create and rename sections and tags. It cannot touch the structure those tasks live in. Today an assistant cannot: create, rename, move, reorder or delete a folder create, rename, delete a project, or move it into or out of a folder (including Archives) move a section to another project, or delete one delete or merge a tag Every one of those is a drag or a right-click in the app, so a reorganisation an assistant has planned has to be finished by hand. Requested: MCP tools for create, rename, move and delete on folders, projects, sections and tags, plus merge on tags. Project colour and emoji would be nice but are secondary.
Show remaining time for open tasks in Time Slot hover
Time Slot: show remaining time (exclude completed tasks) When hovering a Time Slot, the total duration counts all tasks, including completed ones. Example: the slot is 1h 45m, the hover shows 3h 3m – but 5 of 14 tasks are already done and the open ones only need 1h 47m. Show the remaining time of open tasks (e.g. “1h 47m left / 3h 3m total”), so it is visible at a glance whether the slot is still realistic.
Indicator for tasks planned for the current week
Reminder about tasks planned for This Week Add an indicator before the week ends to highlight tasks that are planned for the current week. Tasks planned for this week sit at the bottom in the collapsable board, which sometimes leads to forgetting about them as the week ends.
Color tasks based on labels or tags
Add the ability to colour tasks based on their labels or tags so that categorisation is visible at a glance in task lists. Comparable tools provide coloured labels, and the absence of this option reduces visual differentiation between task types.
Option to keep the task list open when clicking Today
Clicking Today while you're already on Today opens or closes the task list next to the calendar. Some users almost always want the task list open, and an accidental double-click on Today closes it. Add an option so Today never closes the task list. The panel would then only be closed with the « button at the top of the calendar. Original request from Elliot: "I almost always want to have that one panel open, and it's really frustrating that if I double-click the Today view accidentally, it'll close it."
