Time Slots: Show total tasks time in slots

As a feature, can we see how much of a time block has been filled up as we add tasks to it.

Stefania this is a nice start! But I do agree with Beth and was hoping for more visibility at a glance without having to hover over each.
Even a simple “1h45m / 3h” would be fine.
Better yet, a subtle darker shade of bg-color that represents the amount allocated in that time slot.
i.e. 1h/2h allocated would be shaded from the top down to 50%, 1.5h/2h would fill to 75%, and over budgeted time slots could simply have a squiggly bottom or chevron pointing down.
Just thinking out loud here, but I’m happy we have this update for now.

Matt Thomas This is exactly what I was also wishing for -> visual indicator of "how full it is"

I would be nice if the time was shown more clearly so you don't have to hover on it to see.

Hi everyone, we just released a new version of the app where on hover on any Time Slot you see the total tasks duration and how many tasks are completed vs planned. Let me know what you think :)

Stefania Same as the other users pointed out above -> I was also wishing for -> visual indicator of "how full it is" that is visible on glance and not only on hover.

Stefania This would be awesome! Any update on timings here? Happy to test this in beta ;-)

Timeslot sum task time

I would like to see the total task time that has been allocated across tasks within in a timeslot so I can see how much if there is or is not time available for additional task.

I agree with everyone on this post about showing the % used up, and time over budgeted in a time slot etc. It's helpful that time slots have a little # of tasks in the corner but it doesn't really indicate how much of that time block I've already budgeted.
I came to say that I REALLY like that the time slot does not show all the tasks that are in it unless I click on it. I know that someone suggested showing the tasks sort of like calendar lines but that would really clutter up the page and become overwhelming. One of the nicest things about this app is that I can neatly tuck tasks into time blocks and not have to look at them until I'm ready to dive in.

Abbey: Thank you for resonating with our current approach!

Love this idea! Another way is to have the Time Slot retain the calendar layout inside them instead of turning tasks into a list. Time Slots would be more of a dotted boarder in the calendar. But if you turn on a Time Slot's focus mode (which I love) they could be in list form.

Better visibility of time allocation within Time Slots

Once I set a Time Slot and begin adding in tasks with time durations it would be great to have a visual indicator within the Time Slot that I can easily tell the accumulated time of all tasks within the Time Slot vs the Time Slot duration.
For example:
- Create Time Slot and set to a 2 hour block
- Add in a task with 30 min duration, visual indicator shows 30 minutes out of 2 hours allocated
- I then add in a task with 90 min duration, visual indicator shows 2 hours out of 2 hours allocated
- I then add in a task with a 60 min duration, visual indicator clearly shows the estimated time to complete all tasks within the time slot, exceeds the Time Slot duration so I can take action and adjust
This would be great as currently I don’t really have a clear idea of if I have too many tasks added into a Time Slot or if I need to extend the duration of the Time Slot.

Hi Elias Bennett! Thank you for sharing this thoughtful feature request! A visual indicator to track accumulated task time within a Time Slot sounds like a valuable addition. We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind for future improvements.

Display Total Estimated Hours in Time Slots

Ivan Lopez
Currently, time slots do not show the total estimated hours for the tasks within them, making it difficult to compare whether the planned workload fits within the allocated time. It would be incredibly useful if Akiflow displayed the total hours assigned to each time slot, allowing for better scheduling and preventing overloading a time block with more tasks than it can realistically accommodate. Would you consider adding this feature in a future update?
