Comment Box on Tasks: Ability to add a comment section inside each task to record changes, updates, and notes.

Features & Improvements RequestTasks

I’d like to be able to log comments and updates directly within a task—similar to how ClickUp and Superlist handle it. This would make it easier to track changes over time and keep all context in one place instead of editing the task title or description repeatedly.

    Totally agree. Used trello before just for personal task management and tried Sunsama. Both have comment and I used the heavily to log progress on long running tasks like “send mail to xy”, “Talked to yz and waiting for answer” and so on.

    Yes, I can do this now in TickTick and it’s definitely a major missing feature in Akiflow. Currently I am manually typing date and comment in the description, but that is not at all ideal.

      Thanks for backing this idea! We completely understand having to manually type the date and comment isn’t ideal. We agree this is an important feature and will relay your feedback to our product team for consideration. We really appreciate you taking the time to share how you use Akiflow—it helps us improve!

    Leave comments on tasks

    I would like to be able to add comments - marked with dates - to tasks like on cards in Trello.

      Yes! I don't really want to add my updates to the description. A Todoist like comment section would be perfect.

    Allow using comments for personal notes inside tasks

    Would like to use the description field only for the task details, and keep comments as a space for notes, ideas, and updates added over time.

    Currently, comments feel more oriented to collaboration, but they could also be useful for personal workflows. Users may want to quickly add thoughts, progress notes, or timestamped updates without modifying the task description.

    Use case:

    • Description → task details / main content

    • Comments → notes, ideas, progress updates, quick thoughts

    This could help keep tasks cleaner while making it easier to capture information as it comes.
