Work & Personal Tags

Work and Personal tags help Aki better understand your email accounts, so we require them to keep everything running smoothly.

To make things easier, Akiflow will automatically update the right tag based on your email provider. If your account is something like gmail.com or yahoo.com, we mark it as Personal. If it looks like a company domain, we mark it as Work.

You can set these tags during onboarding and also update them later in Settings when connecting new accounts. You can always change the tag if needed.

Your Work and Personal tags stay in sync across desktop and mobile.
