Key features

Aftertone

Auto Plan and Auto Schedule
Tasks are arranged into time blocks on the calendar automatically, so a day can be planned without placing every item by hand.
Focus Mode
Shows one task at a time and suggests the next when it is done. Sessions can be extended, shortened or paused for a break, and the calendar updates as you go.
Auto Capture and Universal Capture
Paste a block of text or add a screenshot and structured, project-tagged tasks land in the inbox. Pressing Command twice opens capture from anywhere on the Mac.
Google Calendar sync
Two-way sync with Google Calendar: existing events appear in Aftertone and time blocks created in Aftertone show up on the Google side.
Daily and weekly reports
A daily report email covers flow time, sessions and a project breakdown. The weekly report shows flow sessions, peak day, streak and tasks completed.
Planning view and task notes
A kanban-style planning view lays out every project for dragging and reprioritizing, and each task can carry Markdown notes.

Akiflow

Universal inbox
Tasks from connected tools such as Gmail, Slack, Notion, Asana, Jira and Todoist land in one inbox. Zapier and IFTTT cover tools without a native integration.
Time blocking on the calendar
Place tasks on a calendar that syncs with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, so planned work sits next to meetings.
Aki AI assistant
Ask Aki by chat or voice to plan, prioritize or move work, for example clearing an afternoon and pushing tasks to the next day. Included in Pro.
Availability sharing and booking
Share open slots or a meeting link so other people can book one-off or recurring meetings with you.
Command bar and shortcuts
Create, edit and navigate tasks from the keyboard. The command bar also turns copied text from a web page into a task.
MCP connector
Connects Claude, ChatGPT or another MCP client to your Akiflow tasks, calendar and meetings.
