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.

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!

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!

It is a must. I mean, it could even be as simple as a toggl integration

Would really appreciate a time tracker, just a simple timer / pomodoro mode for a single task would absolutely do! This is the only feature that makes akiflow not feature-complete for my workflow

I am new to Akiflow. I came from Sunsama. Akiflow has features that Sunsama doesn't and I am liking the experience (so far). I like time slots (mentioned below and also the way I can filter and/or display and/or order tasks for planning.
What I do miss is a timer. Whilst I didn't always use it, it was (at times) really helpful for keeping myself accountable for time on a task and when combined with a Focus Mode it was a real productivity booster.
Please give tracking time on tasks some serious consideration.
One would also think that the time statistics gathered from such exercises could feed into Akiflow analytics for those that want to take it a step further and examine how they spent their day/week/month in further detail.
Jeson P
Brad: Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying Akiflow so far. We appreciate your suggestion for a timer feature and will definitely consider how it could enhance accountability and productivity. Your idea about integrating time statistics into Akiflow analytics is also valuable. Thanks for sharing!
