Akiflow

Where do your tasks actually live? If the answer is "an email here, a Slack message there, a few in Notion", Akiflow was built for you.

It pulls them into one inbox. Turn an email into a task, save a Slack message for later, and your Asana or Jira tasks land in the same list.

Then you plan the day. Drag a task onto your calendar and it becomes a block of time, right next to your real meetings from Google or Outlook. That's time blocking, and it's what Akiflow is best at.

Adding things is quick. Type "call the plumber thursday 4pm" and it picks out the day and the time.

There's an AI assistant called Aki, too, still marked beta on their site. Type or say something like "move my overdue stuff to tomorrow morning" and it shifts things for you. And you can send people a link to book a slot with you.

The price, first. There's no free plan at all, and paying monthly is $34. For a planner, that's a lot.

The trial doesn't give you long either. It's 7 days, a card goes in before you start, and the plan kicks in by itself if you don't cancel. Set a reminder!

Recording and summing up meetings isn't part of it. That's the AI Meeting Assistant, a separate add-on at $19 a month.

A few reviewers hit bugs. One left after calendar changes stopped showing up and they couldn't edit events on their phone. That was early 2025, and the September 2026 release notes list sync fixes, so it may well be better now.

Apple calendar users have had a wait. iCloud Calendar only arrived in the 8 October 2026 release, and it's still rolling out.

Smaller wishes come up too, like archiving old projects or splitting a big task over several days. And Linux users get no desktop app.

There's one plan, Pro. What you pay depends on how long you sign up for.

Month to month it's $34. Pay for the year and it works out at $19 a month, billed as $228 in one go. Akiflow calls that a 44% saving.

Really sure? The Believer deals go lower: $357.60 for two years, which is $14.90 a month, or $699 for five. We'd only think about those after a full year on it.

Everything's in the one plan, Aki included. The only extra is the AI Meeting Assistant at $19 a month. Teams have to talk to sales.

Students and researchers can get 40% off the yearly plan with a university email.

So what would we do? Take the 7-day trial in a properly busy week, and put a reminder in for day 6. If it hasn't changed how you plan by then, cancel.

We don't have a star rating to give you, because the iPhone app has too few ratings to lean on. And nobody's talking about Akiflow on Hacker News, so this is all from App Store reviews.

What stands out? The support. Reviewer after reviewer mentions a real person walking them through setup on a video call. One who'd cancelled and come back says a rep got them going again fast.

People with ADHD turn up a lot. One says it's the first app with everything they need in one place, and another switched from Motion after its price went up.

The price comes up even among fans. One says it scared them off for ages before they gave in.

The unhappy reviews are about bugs and sync. And even a happy one came with a wish list, like better syncing with Todoist.
