What is Akiflow?
Akiflow's newest release finally adds capability, but reliability work still fills the notes.
Release 2.80 is the first in several cycles to lead with something new: a Work with AI handoff that continues any task, event, or time slot in Claude or ChatGPT, task locations shared across desktop, web, and mobile, and a secondary timezone on mobile. It still devotes most of its length to a reliability pass over sync, recurrence, notifications, and crashes. That mirrors the preceding releases almost exactly — calendar editing, recurring-task correctness, in-app support, and a 200-plus issue stability round.
What is GanttPRO?
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.

Akiflow
0.0PM
Akiflow's newest release finally adds capability, but reliability work still fills the notes.
◆ Current state
Release 2.80 is the first in several cycles to lead with something new: a Work with AI handoff that continues any task, event, or time slot in Claude or ChatGPT, task locations shared across desktop, web, and mobile, and a secondary timezone on mobile. It still devotes most of its length to a reliability pass over sync, recurrence, notifications, and crashes. That mirrors the preceding releases almost exactly — calendar editing, recurring-task correctness, in-app support, and a 200-plus issue stability round.
◆ Where it's heading
Two things are worth separating here. The product's own direction is incremental: correctness work on calendar and recurrence has dominated for months, and the new capabilities in 2.80 are conveniences rather than a change in what Akiflow is for. The AI surface is the exception worth watching — MCP task creation, task links opened by Claude and other MCP clients, and now an explicit handoff into Claude or ChatGPT mean the app is being shaped as something agents operate alongside the user. That work appears as fixes rather than announcements, which understates it.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI handoff to deepen from copying a prompt toward acting on the task directly, given that MCP task creation and link handling are already being maintained as first-class paths. Reliability work will likely keep dominating the notes regardless.
GanttPRO
5.0PM
GanttPRO ships a quarter's worth of features at a time, filed as blog tutorials.
◆ Current state
This feed announces product changes as how-to posts, with the actual feature named after the colon. The two most recent — dashboard export with portfolio invitations, and a rebuilt list view — landed on the same day in August, after a three-month gap since the shared board-view link in May. Behind those sit table reports and an AI Gantt chart maker from March. Cadence is quarterly at best, and the gaps are filled with awards notices and evergreen tutorials.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the recent work. One is giving people outside the project a way in: shared private links for board view, invitations to portfolios, dashboard export — each aimed at a stakeholder who needs the picture without a seat in the plan. The other is loosening the product's attachment to the chart it is named after, through the list view, board view and table reports. For a tool that sold one visualisation, methodically shipping all the others is the more consequential of the two.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release to extend the sharing thread — export or link-based access to the views that do not yet have it — since three of the last four features have been about read-only distribution. The March AI chart maker has drawn no follow-up in the entries here, so whether it becomes a line of work or stays a one-off is not something this feed answers.
