Switching from Morgen to Akiflow

A practical guide to map Morgen daily planning to Akiflow. Set up rituals, connect integrations, and migrate your backlog.


Welcome to Akiflow

If you've been using Morgen, you already think in calendar terms: your day is built around blocks, meetings and tasks live side by side, and your calendar is your command center. Akiflow is built on the same foundation.

The transition is natural. Here's how your Morgen workflow maps across.


Calendars

In Morgen, you aggregate multiple calendars across Google, Outlook, iCloud, and Fastmail into a single unified view.

In Akiflow, you can connect Google Calendar and Outlook with full bidirectional sync. iCloud and Fastmail are not natively supported — if you rely on those, sync them to a Google or Outlook account first.


Frames → Time Slots

Morgen's Frames let you define blocks of time dedicated to a specific type of work (deep work, quick wins, admin) and filter which tasks get scheduled into each one.

The natural equivalent in Akiflow is Time Slots. You define recurring blocks on your calendar, a Deep Work slot from 9–11am, a Quick Wins slot at 5pm, and use them as your daily scheduling structure. Drag tasks from your Inbox or Today into those slots to build your day intentionally, without automation getting in the way.


AI Planner → Aki

Morgen's AI Planner analyzes your tasks and deadlines, auto-schedules them into Frames, and lets you preview and approve before anything lands on the calendar.

Akiflow's Aki works differently: it's a conversational AI copilot. Tell Aki what you need (plan my morning, reschedule everything that's overdue) and it acts on your tasks and calendar. Less auto-scheduler, more intelligent assistant.


Task integrations → Inbox

In Morgen, you connect task sources (Notion, Todoist, Linear, ClickUp, Obsidian, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do) and they appear alongside your calendar for scheduling.

In Akiflow, everything feeds into the Inbox, a single capture point where new work lands before you decide when to do it. From the Inbox, move tasks into Today to work on them, or onto your calendar to time-block them. This separation between captured work and planned work is the main structural difference from Morgen.


Time blocking

In Morgen, you drag tasks onto your calendar manually or let the AI Planner schedule them within a Frame.

In Akiflow, drag any task onto your calendar from Today or Inbox to create a time block. It syncs bidirectionally with Google Calendar or Outlook. The block stays visible in your Today list under Scheduled on Calendar.


Daily planning → Morning Ritual

Morgen surfaces your tasks and meetings in a unified daily view. You review them at the start of the day and schedule manually or via AI.

In Akiflow, the Morning Ritual is your daily planning: a guided flow that shows you what's in your Inbox, what's still pending from yesterday, and what's on your calendar. You drag tasks into Today, schedule them, and commit to your day. Takes 5–10 minutes.


Command Bar

Morgen has a global keyboard shortcut to create tasks and events quickly from anywhere.

Akiflow's Command Bar (⌘E / Ctrl+E) works the same way, hit it from anywhere, type a task, assign a time, and it goes into your plan instantly. It also lets you search across all your tools.


Notifications and focus

Morgen includes focus mode and notification blocking when you mark yourself as busy or set DND.

Akiflow doesn't include a built-in notification blocker. For focus, pair Akiflow with your OS-level focus mode (macOS Focus, Windows Focus Assist) or tools like Reclaim or Freedom.


Integrations

Akiflow connects to 20+ tools out of the box:

  • Task managers: Notion, Todoist, ClickUp, Asana, Jira, Linear, Monday.com, GitHub Issues, Trello

  • Communication: Slack (save messages as tasks), Gmail (save emails as tasks)

  • Calendars: Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar

  • Other: Zapier, Make, and API access for custom workflows

All integrations flow into your Inbox. Nothing gets lost, and everything gets scheduled.


Getting started

Here's how to hit the ground running:

  1. Connect your calendar: Add your Google or Outlook calendar. Your events will appear immediately.

  2. Connect your task tools: Go to Settings → Integrations and connect whatever you were syncing in Morgen.

  3. Set up your Morning Ritual: Go to Settings → Rituals and configure your daily planning block. Start with 9:00 AM, 10 minutes.

  4. Create your Time Slots: Go to your calendar and block recurring slots for each type of work, Deep Work, Admin, Quick Wins, whatever matches your Frames setup.

  5. Do your first daily planning: Open the Inbox, review what's there, drag tasks into Today, and schedule them into your Time Slots on the calendar.
