Navigating Akiflow
A quick tour of the Akiflow menu on desktop and web: where your views live, how to pin your favorites, and where everything moved.
Your menu at a glance
The menu runs down the left side of Akiflow. From top to bottom:
If you click Inbox, Today or a pin while you're already on that page, the task list hides so the calendar gets more room. Click again to bring it back. The I, T and U shortcuts work the same way, and 0 hides or shows the task list (on Upcoming, it hides or shows the calendar).
The Tasks panel
Hover over Tasks to open the Tasks panel. It holds:
Upcoming: hover over the arrow to choose Overview, Days, Weeks or Months
This Week and This Month
Someday
Projects: use Add project or folder to create new ones
Tags
Done and Trashed
Click any row to open it. The panel closes on its own.
Moving tasks: drag a task onto Tasks and the panel opens, so you can drop it on a project, tag, This Week, This Month or Someday.
Pin your favorites to the menu
Pin the views, projects and tags you use most so they're always one click away.
Pin an item
Hover over Tasks to open the Tasks panel.
Right-click a view, project or tag.

You can pin up to 5 items. Folders can't be pinned, but the projects inside them can.
Reorder or remove pins
Reorder: drag a pin up or down in the menu.
Remove: right-click a pin and choose Unpin.
Use your pins
Plan or organize tasks: drop a task on a pinned project or tag to assign it. Drop it on a pinned This Week, This Month or Someday to plan it there.
Block time for a project: drag a pinned project onto the calendar to create a time slot.
Customize your menu
Right-click any empty space in the menu or the Tasks panel to see two options.
