’ve bounced around every major productivity app—I gave Sunsama a solid try, attempted to force time-blocking in Todoist, and quickly abandoned TickTick because I was so frustrated by its lack of reliable integrations. After all that searching, Akiflow is the one that finally brought sanity back to my calendar. I have found it to be the ultimate hub for high-volume work, successfully merging my disparate tasks and calendar events into a unified system that actually helps me stay focused.Akiflow solved the biggest workflow problems I had with the other tools. I'm still using Todoist for my task database - but that is pretty much all I use it for now.
Universal Inbox is a Game-Changer: Coming from TickTick, where the integrations were severely lacking without Zapier like solutions, Akiflow's Universal Inbox is the feature that sold me. It pulls tasks from many apps —Gmail, Slack, Notion, Asana, and more—into one stream for me to process. I no longer have to jump between 5 different tabs just to see what’s on my plate, which instantly eliminated context switching and helps me get down to work and focus faster.
Time Blocking: This is where Akiflow beats my attempts to time-block using Todoist. Akiflow is built not just listing or a convenient window where I can see appointments. The drag-and-drop task scheduling is seamless, and the "Timeslots" feature is genius—it lets me allocate a block of time for multiple small tasks without making my main calendar look like an overwhelming mess of appointments.
Speed: Akiflow seems fast to me. Power tools like the Command Bar and extensive keyboard shortcuts let me quickly capture, process, snooze, and schedule tasks in seconds. I spend far less time managing the tool and more time actually working.
I was also offered an on-boarding 30 min slot with Peache who helped me get to grips with specific workflow questions I had. This was really useful.
I love the Akiflow GUI and this is a personal thing - apart from finding the Sunsama rituals not to my liking I did not like the GUI. I do get on very well indeed with the Akiflow planning and review rituals which shows how personal all of this is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially, I found getting into the Slack community a complete nightmare. However, a support agent called Jayrich was an absolute super star. He hung in there helping me to overcome server related issues when I am sure it would have been easier for him to abandon - but he didn't and I am grateful and impressed at how Akiflow tries to add a personal support touch - which goes some way to explaining the high subscription cost and value proposition.
