Hi Team,
I just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible work you’ve done in enabling the time tracking feature. You guys are truly awesome, and I’m thrilled to be a lifelong customer of your app! I can’t emphasize enough how happy I am with what you’ve created; it’s going to be a game changer.
I do have one piece of feedback: the floating widget is fantastic! However, it would be even more interesting if there were a way to display the time in the menu bar icon on Mac. Additionally, for now, the timer acts as a simple timer which is nice, but the usability is somewhat useless without the ability to track statistics of which tasks the Pomodoro applies to, etc.
Thank you once again for your outstanding work. Love you, team! Sending lots of love from a grateful customer!

Hi Team,
Is there any update on when the Pomodoro-based time tracking feature will be added? I’ve been using Akiflow for quite some time, but I still have to rely on another app for time tracking. I noticed that this feature request was first made back in 2021, yet in 2025, it’s still marked as “planned,” which is quite disappointing.
Do we have a tentative timeline for when this feature will be available? Akiflow is a well-made app with great integrations, but it’s frustrating that time tracking was missed out. I really hope this can be prioritized and added as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your response!

Logesh: The time tracker is already in beta and should be released in Akiflow’s next update (Before the end of March). We appreciate your patience, and we’ll keep you posted once it’s live!

Jayrich Sebullen Thank u for the update can't wait to see it 😊

Jayrich Sebullen I was able to give the new timer a shot and am confused on how it is related to time
tracking
. The time spent in the timer does not automatically change the duration of a task nor does it seem to be logged anywhere. Is automatically updating task duration/logging time spent on a task on the roadmap for this feature?Jeson P
Aidan Liss: Hi Aidan! Our current approach is just a timer that is not tied up to any tasks. This will greatly improve in the future as we roll out improvements.

Jeson P Yes, this would be really helpful! Currently, the timer only serves as a basic timer and doesn’t track how many Pomodoros I’ve completed or the time spent on each task. It would be great to have a feature that shows the Pomodoro count or the total time spent while running the timer for each task. in the statistics column

Agreed... akiflow is the best for task management, but I may have to leave because it doesn't integrate smoothly with any time trackers. I don't need billable hours or anything... I just want to know how I'm spending my time!

Jayrich Sebullen
Hi John Sirrine: Thank you for your feedback! We understand how important it is to track your time effectively. We're currently working on a built-in Pomodoro timer in Akiflow, which could be a great solution for your time-tracking needs. This feature is under review by our team, and you can keep track of its progress on our roadmap!

John Sirrine
Jayrich Sebullen unless there's more to it than what you're describing, that wouldn't solve time tracking & reporting at all though... am I missing something?

John Villarasa
John Sirrine: Hey John! If you just want to track how you're spending your time or if you want to create a report of how much time you spent on a specific project, have you tried to use the "Statistics" feature that we have? :)
J
John Sirrine
John Villarasa yes, and it's a start. But I think it's 2 features away from a basic time tracking experience:
- ability to use tags or projects for events. Those are the ways to view time spent in statistics, so if you use both events and tasks it doesn't work
- stopwatch function.
I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that, but it seems like with these two, it would at least be basically functional
J
Jayrich Sebullen
John Sirrine: I completely agree! adding the ability to use projects for events would enhance time tracking, and I’ll make sure to add your vote to the feature request that is existing.
As for the stopwatch function, we're already working on something similar—the Pomodoro timer/tomato timer, which should address your needs. We’re excited to see how this will improve the experience!

Actual Time Taken - Timer?

Having a view of how much time was actually spent on a block (i.e. with a little timer function to play and pause) would be helpful for tracking time spent (e.g. for billable hours). Once complete, a button option to then amend the calendar slot to reflect the actual time taken would be a cool bonus.

Is such a critical feature, which has been the second most voted feature request and has received numerous comments below, really under review for almost four years? It is essential to know whether this feature will be available in Akiflow in 2025 or if we should expect to wait several more years.
Jeson P
Luke Morales: We understand how important this feature is and are actively working to include it in our plans. While we don’t have an exact timeline yet, we’re hopeful to have it available soon. We appreciate your continued support!

I really want to understand why you aren't building this, what is the hold up? It's so obvious to everyone here that this is key.
Jeson P
David: We value your feedback! While this feature is important, we’re currently focused on priorities aligned with Akiflow’s vision. But this is already being reviewed by our design team :)

Hi Jeson P,
Thank you for sharing some insight into Akiflow’s priorities. I want to highlight that many in this community are seeking more transparency about how specific features, like this one, align with Akiflow’s vision. It’s natural for products to evolve to meet customer needs, and with such strong demand for this feature, it would be helpful to understand why it isn’t currently prioritized.
We understand that critical issues or bugs might take precedence over new feature development, but clearer communication around these challenges and how they align with your vision would help us better appreciate Akiflow’s roadmap and long-term goals.
With respect, your response about “priorities aligned with Akiflow’s vision” feels a bit dismissive, as though this request isn’t truly being considered. I hope that’s not the case, and I do see you said it's "with the design team". I hope you take this as positive feedback to help your team improve the Akiflow customer experience.
Thank you for taking the time to engage with the community!

I came from Sunsama and Akiflow is much better app (in consistency and imo mobile app), really big for me, but this thing is life-changing and huge, i think you'll get many many new users from sunsama or basicly anything else, if you implement this, really looking forward to it!
J
Jayrich Sebullen
Mikhail Borodastov: We'll keep you posted if we're starting to work on this for sure.

Akiflow is great. It’s a 9/10 product. This is such a key feature that would make the competition useless at this point. We need to be able to start a task and a timer so we know how long we are spending on a certain task. I made the switch from Sunsama and everything feels smoother but Im taking longer on tasks bc im lacking a Sunsama style timer to hold me accountable. It’s a must for us ADD folks.

Just circling back to say again how much I hope this gets a sprint soon. With better and better rituals and planning tools in Akiflow, I'm jonesing even more for a way to track not just the planned time but ACTUAL time. Just running a timer doesn't do it for me -- something about having it measure actual time spent on a task right next to what I'd planned for really focuses my attention. It also really helps me plan better as I learn how long things take!

Please rest assured that we will keep you informed if our developers decide to work on implementing this feature in the future.
