Plan a task multiple times / Handle longer tasks
Felix
I'd like that the task duration and the time blocked in the calendar for that task did not match. So I can plan a task multiple times, like in Sunsama.

Another way of thinking about this would be to allow a task to be split into "chunks" across multiple time slots or scheduled on multiple days. This feature is available with getmotion.com. In other words if a task duration is set to 2 hours, during the planning step it would helpful to toggle on "chunks" and then set a duration for each chunk (15 min, 30 min, 45 min, custom, etc). By doing so the task could split up into separate list items which could then be scheduled during the daily ritual. Once each chunk is completed it would provide a % done to the master task. Hope this makes sense.
Having switched from Motion to Akiflow this year, this is one of the glaring misses from Akiflow and a source of real friction.
Hopefully this can be prioritized soon.

Even though it wouldn't be good for specific time tracking, this would be amazing for tasks that are due at a later date but you want to see it across every day until you complete it!

Split Task/Task Continuation & Time Tracking Across Multiple Days
T
Taha Javed
Problem:
When a task spans multiple days, there's currently no way to track the work progress and time spent across different days. For example, if I spend 1 hour on a task on Monday and continue it for 2 more hours on Tuesday, moving the task to Tuesday loses the history of Monday's work.
Proposed Solution:
Add the ability to:
Split a task across multiple days while maintaining it as a single task unit
Track time spent per day on the task
Show visual indicators of partial completion on each day's view
Maintain a history of work done on different days
Example Use Case:
Task: "Write quarterly report"
Monday: Worked 1 hour (shows as partially complete)
Tuesday: Worked 2 more hours (shows continuation and completion)
This would help users:
Maintain accurate time tracking for billing/reporting
See their actual work distribution across days
Keep task history without creating duplicate tasks
Better reflect real-world work patterns where complex tasks often span multiple days
Similar features exist in tools like Jira (work logs) and ClickUp (time tracking across days), but implementing this in Akiflow's minimalist interface would provide significant value while maintaining the app's streamlined nature.

Unfinished Taks

I would like you to introduce a feature where tasks that span across multiple days or time slots can remain in the assigned spaces, but a synced duplicate can be moved to the desired time or date you wish to finish it. This can also help with time tracking.

This is very important for time tracking too. I would like to see when I did work on a task. Or at least make Subtasks possible.
Jeson P
Hadhemi Gafsi: We currently have an alternative to subtasks.
Our task description has a check box bullet that can allow you to replicate subtasks.
You can also use Time Slot as Task and Tasks within the Time Slot as subtasks. :)

+1 to this idea! I hope this could be implemented soon in next updates. Thank you Akiflow team!

This feature would be very welcomed for me since i have sometimes "global" tasks which i schedule several times and I like to keep info about this task in it's description, but currently i need to edit all of them, or schedule only after editing which is somewhat repetitive. Having single "task" and multiple "schedules" would be cool
