Changelog

Follow new updates and improvements to Akiflow.

πŸ“Ž Introducing Task Attachments

Keep the brief you’re working from, the screenshot you need to follow up on, or the document you want to review right inside its task. Task Attachments brings your files and your to-dos together across desktop, web, and mobile, so everything is there when it’s time to get to work.

  • Keep files with the task they belong to - Add attachments while creating a task or to an existing task, and access them from any of your devices. Your attachments are private to your account.

  • Drop a file, create a task - On desktop and web, drop files into the main Akiflow window to create Inbox tasks. Each file gets its own task, with the file already attached.

  • Share from another app on mobile - Send screenshots, documents, or other files to Akiflow from your phone’s share menu. Each share creates one Inbox task with the accepted files attached.

We’re rolling out 2.82 gradually, so your update may arrive a little later.


More in 2.82

This release also makes subtask plans easier to see and improves recurring tasks, reminders, and calendar sync.

πŸ–₯️ Desktop

New

  • See when subtasks are planned - The subtask list in a task’s popup now shows whether each unfinished subtask is in Inbox or when it is planned.

  • Clearer sync errors - The Needs attention menu explains sync problems and opens the affected task, event, project, tag, or integration.

Tasks

  • See, edit, or delete recurring tasks from more than a year ago. Future occurrences appear as you move forward in the calendar.

  • Fixed unlocking a recurring task with This and all future tasks leaving the selected and following occurrences locked.

  • Fixed removing one task link also removing newly added links, and clicking the link field unexpectedly closing the task popup.

  • Improved attachment messages and dialogs so long filenames and upload restrictions remain readable.

Events & Calendar

  • Fixed recurring events disappearing after an individual occurrence was updated, and deleted occurrences returning after an app reload.

  • Discarding event edits now restores the original event on the calendar.

  • Outlook meetings you organize now show Cancel, including meetings created outside Akiflow.

  • Booking links no longer select a disconnected Zoom account.

Reminders & Sync

  • Task and time-slot reminders now follow their own notification settings, even when reminders are turned off for the calendar they are locked to.

  • Improved recovery when a stuck calendar update prevents other events from syncing.

πŸ“± Mobile

Tasks & Attachments

  • Changes to one recurring task occurrence are no longer undone by later edits to the series.

  • Recurring occurrences moved to Inbox, Someday, or a week or month plan keep their repeat information.

  • Fixed project and tag suggestions appearing in the wrong place or showing an empty menu.

Events & Calendar

  • The calendar picker now identifies the calendar and account provider more clearly.

  • Fixed switching events between all-day and timed, including events disappearing after the change.

  • Outlook meetings show Cancel when you’re the organizer and RSVP options when you’re an invitee.

  • Fixed calendar show/hide choices being undone by sync and event edits failing to reach other devices.

Reminders & Reliability

  • Fixed missing task and time-slot reminders when notifications were turned off for their locked calendar. Calendar settings now explain which reminders the bell controls.

  • Improved sync recovery so interruptions do not leave the app waiting for a restart.

  • Improved startup failure handling and recovery of Aki chat notifications after a session expires.

🌐 Web

Signup & Login

  • Login errors now tell you which sign-in method to use, such as Google, Microsoft, or Apple.

πŸ”§ Infrastructure

Calendar Sync & MCP

  • Fixed edits to individual recurring Google Calendar events failing to sync or undoing changes to other occurrences.

  • Improved Outlook sync recovery so a problem with one calendar does not stop the others from updating.

  • Deleting a Google or Outlook event that was already removed at the source now removes it from Akiflow too.

  • Fixed calendar locks for individual recurring occurrences accidentally changing the series.

  • Cancelling an Outlook meeting you organize through MCP now uses the meeting-cancellation flow. MCP event requests also reject invalid color values.
