Travel time

I’d love to see travel time automation in Akiflow, similar to what Apple Calendar offers. The main value for me is that it removes the manual step of looking up how long travel will take and deciding how much buffer to block.

Here’s how I imagine it could work:

• When adding travel time to an event, Akiflow could try to prefill the “From” location by using the location of the event right before it (as a best guess for where you’ll be). And of course, it would still be possible to override that manually.

• It would be great if it supports multiple transportation modes, like walking, cycling, public transit, and car.

On the calendar side, two things would be especially helpful:

• In Akiflow itself, travel time could show up as a visually distinct block from the actual meeting (so it’s immediately clear what’s travel vs the event).

• In other calendars like Google Calendar, it could be created as a real event called “Travel time”, so it blocks availability there as well and nobody schedule over it.

One extra idea that would feel really smart:

• Closer to the meeting (actually probably various checks as you need to be informed earlier when the travel time is longer compared to when it's shorter), Akiflow could re-check whether the estimated travel time still looks accurate (traffic, weather, delays), adjust the travel time automatically and warn you about the changes so you're aware.

• Also, if the event before it changes (duration or location), it would be great if travel time gets recalculated as well, since that can directly affect where you’re leaving from and when.

And a couple of thoughts where Akiflow could potentially differentiate from Apple:

• Travel time after the event too, not just before (getting back matters as well, depending on the situation).

• Walking as a transportation method would be amazing (already mentioned above, but calling it out as a differentiator).

If you make it so that it's flexible/non-mandatory/and easily overridden, it would be super flexible. Would love to see this.
