Searching Tasks & Events

Find any task or event on the Search page, by title, description or guest.


How to open Search

  • Click Search in the menu on the left.

  • Press / or Cmd F on Mac (Ctrl F on Windows) from anywhere in the app.

You can start typing right away. Press ↓ to jump from the search field to the results.

Search tasks or events

Use the dropdown at the top of the page to choose Tasks or Events.

  • Tasks: searches titles and descriptions.

  • Events: searches titles, descriptions, and guest names and email addresses.

Results contain all the words you typed, in any order. When you switch between Tasks and Events, your search text stays but filters and sorting reset.

See all your tasks: leave the search field empty to list every open task, including Inbox, planned and Someday tasks.


Find an item by its ID on mobile

On iOS and Android, if you copied the ID of a task, event or time slot, for example to use with an AI assistant through the Akiflow MCP, paste it into Search to go straight to that item. Desktop and web are coming soon.

  • Task or event ID: Search shows only that item. If you're on the Tasks or Events tab, Search switches to the tab that lists it.

  • Time slot ID: the time slot opens right away.

  • Paste the full ID exactly as you copied it, one ID at a time. A partial ID, or the ID of an item that was deleted, shows no results.

Good to know: trashed tasks and events on hidden calendars aren't found by their ID.
