What is Akiflow?

A time-blocking client spending its releases on calendar correctness and crash fixes

Akiflow's recent releases are stability-dominated. The May release resolved over 200 issues with dozens of crash fixes across desktop and mobile and added an in-app support widget for articles, feedback and chat. April brought calendar editing and recurring task work — RSVP behaving correctly across both single and future-event scopes — plus a mid-April release covering recurring events, a more accurate Aki, empty time-slot names falling back to project names, and a refreshed Linear integration setup. The feed duplicates each release two or three times.

What is Super Productivity?

A solo-focused task manager grows a plugin layer and, quietly, a collaboration story

Super Productivity is a cross-platform task and time-tracking app shipping every one to two weeks. The recent stream is dense with planning ergonomics — recurring task settings folded into the planner's schedule dialog, add-task short syntax highlighted as you type, existing tasks appearing in tagged board columns, archived tasks restorable to Today, a single-day view on the Schedule tab. Underneath that, sync has become a named priority: concurrent edits to different fields of the same task now merge instead of one silently overwriting the other.

Akiflow vs Super Productivity: editorial side-by-side

A0.0

A time-blocking client spending its releases on calendar correctness and crash fixes

◆ Current state

Akiflow's recent releases are stability-dominated. The May release resolved over 200 issues with dozens of crash fixes across desktop and mobile and added an in-app support widget for articles, feedback and chat. April brought calendar editing and recurring task work — RSVP behaving correctly across both single and future-event scopes — plus a mid-April release covering recurring events, a more accurate Aki, empty time-slot names falling back to project names, and a refreshed Linear integration setup. The feed duplicates each release two or three times.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is consolidating rather than expanding. Recurring events and RSVP scope handling are the hardest correctness problems in a calendar client, and fixing them repeatedly across consecutive releases says they were the top complaints. Adding in-app support alongside a 200-issue release is what a team does when it is trying to close the loop on reliability rather than ship features.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next releases to keep favoring reliability over surface, since three consecutive releases returned to calendar and recurrence correctness and no new capability appears in the window.

S5.0

A solo-focused task manager grows a plugin layer and, quietly, a collaboration story

◆ Current state

Super Productivity is a cross-platform task and time-tracking app shipping every one to two weeks. The recent stream is dense with planning ergonomics — recurring task settings folded into the planner's schedule dialog, add-task short syntax highlighted as you type, existing tasks appearing in tagged board columns, archived tasks restorable to Today, a single-day view on the Schedule tab. Underneath that, sync has become a named priority: concurrent edits to different fields of the same task now merge instead of one silently overwriting the other.

◆ Where it's heading

Two structural changes sit beneath the feature churn. Built-in issue providers are being converted into plugins — Azure DevOps and Trello have moved, and Todoist import arrived as a plugin rather than as core code — which turns integrations into a surface others can extend. In parallel, Plainspace integration has introduced shared projects, task creation and polling into an app whose design assumptions have been single-user and local-first. The sync merge work reads as a prerequisite for that: shared data makes silent last-write-wins a real data-loss risk rather than a rare annoyance.

◆ Prediction

Expect more built-in integrations to migrate to plugins and Plainspace collaboration to keep expanding, with continued sync-conflict work as the multi-user surface widens.
