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

Feature Request: Cross-Account Calendar Grouping

Title: Enable Custom Calendar Groups for Enhanced Organization Problem: Users with multiple calendars across various accounts (e.g., Google, Outlook, Apple) struggle with cluttered sidebars and inefficient context switching. Manually toggling many individual calendars to focus on "work," "personal," or specific projects is time-consuming and lacks a higher-level organizational structure. Proposed Solution: Introduce a "Calendar Groups" feature allowing users to: 1. Create Custom Groups: Define groups like "Work," "Personal," "Client X," "Project Y." 2. Assign Calendars Flexibly: Add any connected calendar (from any account) to one or more custom groups. 3. Toggle Group Visibility: Easily show/hide all calendars within a group with a single click in the sidebar. 4. Enhance Workflow: Integrate group selection into event creation and potentially quick filters for focused views. How it Works: Users would access a new section in settings or the calendar sidebar to create, name, and populate these groups with their existing connected calendars. Toggling a group would affect the visibility of all assigned calendars simultaneously. Benefits: Superior Organization: Reduces clutter and improves navigation for users with many calendars. * Efficient Context Switching: Quickly switch between different "modes" (e.g., work focus, personal focus) with one click.

iOS: Mobile Drag & Drop Task Planning Removed in v2.79

The customer, Brijesh, reported an issue following the iOS 2.79 update, where they are no longer able to drag and drop tasks to the calendar on mobile. They initially believed this was a bug and expressed frustration over the lack of communication and documentation regarding this change, noting a significant impact on their workflow. Support confirmed that the drag & drop functionality was intentionally removed from the mobile application in version 2.79 to improve development speed and due to low user adoption. Alternative methods for planning tasks on the calendar, such as using the 'plan button' or swiping left on a task, were provided. The customer expressed strong disappointment, stating that drag & drop was a highly utilized feature for their personal workflow and that the new process (clicking 'plan', then selecting date and time) is significantly less convenient. They also expressed surprise regarding the reported low usage of the feature.
