Add a Dedicated “Notes” Section or Timeframe

Features & Improvements Request

Some users previously relied on the retired Notes feature to store reference information that isn’t an actionable task. Right now, the closest workaround is creating a task and assigning it to the Someday timeframe, but this becomes cluttered since actionable tasks may also live there.

A dedicated “Notes” timeframe or section would provide a clear space for non-actionable reference items separate from tasks while keeping workflows clean and organized. This would help users who want to store info in Akiflow without mixing it with actual to-dos.

While tags or projects can serve as a workaround, having a native Notes area would create a much smoother and more intuitive experience.

    Add better support for non-actionable reference list

    One of the ways I use my to-do app is to capture non-actionable ideas and notes. Akiflow’s quick capture is so good that I often use it to save books I want to read, recipes I want to try, links people share with me, and places I want to visit.

    At the moment, however, there’s no good way to store these items in Akiflow because of its planning and scheduling requirements. I have separate projects for each type of reference list under a folder called “Reference.”


    The capture experience is great, but the problem is that every item needs a date assigned before it can be moved out of the Inbox. Assigning a “Someday” date creates another issue: my actionable Someday list— which I use for future planning—becomes cluttered with non-actionable items such as books, recipes, and links.

    I’m not sure what the ideal solution would look like, but I’d love a way to store non-actionable items without having them appear in or clutter the Inbox, Someday list, or planning workflows.

      Thanks, Mark. You want to keep reference items in Akiflow without mixing them into task planning. Your examples make that clear. I’ve merged this with an existing request for the same need so the feedback stays together. We don’t have an ETA yet.
