Currently, we have small portion under "tasklist" for taks done with the amount of time for each task and events. Akiflow's feature on how much time it took to complete a task is useful but I find that we are lacking in showing the trends of how and where our time is being allocated. Generally, showing trends on how our time was allocated for the week is more useful than merely showing the day itself.

I would think having a light AI function that would go back into an available LLM to guestimate task timeframe would be interesting. For instance: My task might be "Build 12 page Deck for client on results of AI security effort" It might say something like " this task will have several subtasks that will be an average of 1/2 hour each. Here is the breakdown. (It would then pull down the tasks that have been prompted on the AI as checkboxes to use or lose as needed.) Heres an example from Chat GPT.
Title Slide (30 minutes) - Project title, company logo, and presentation date.
Agenda (20 minutes) - Overview of the slide topics.
Problem Statement (45 minutes) - Description of the cybersecurity challenges faced.
Objectives of AI Security Effort (45 minutes) - Goals and expected outcomes of the initiative.
Methodology (60 minutes) - Detailed explanation of the AI techniques and strategies used.
Implementation Timeline (60 minutes) - Key milestones and phases of the project.
Results Overview (60 minutes) - High-level summary of the results achieved.
Detailed Findings (90 minutes) - In-depth analysis of key successes, supported by data and visuals.
Case Studies / Success Stories (90 minutes) - Real-world applications and the impact of the AI security effort.
Challenges & Solutions (60 minutes) - Discussion of any obstacles encountered and how they were overcome.
Next Steps (45 minutes) - Recommendations for future actions and ongoing security efforts.
Q&A / Contact Information (30 minutes) - Invitation for questions and slide with contact details for follow-up.
Wouldnt that be cool?

Where is Akiflow on this feature? I'm about to switch back to Sunsama because of this, sub-tasks and multiple calendar chunks.
Stefania
Aglaé: Hi! We're designing a pomodoro timer and stats right now, I'll keep you posted about the time tracker. What do you mean by "multiple calendar chunks"?

Ryan Loeffler
Stefania: ugh pomodoro timers…. It would be nice to just track the time. Even if the timer spans over multiple days. I get the theory behind pomodoro timers but…. I hope I’m not Forced to use that to track time :(
Stefania
Ryan Loeffler: absolutely not, I understand they have different purposes, I just wanted to let you know we are moving in that direction, I'll let you know if we start working on this :)

Stefania I agree with Ryan, Pomodoro timer is second to time tracking on my plate. By multiple calendar chunks I mean the following: Sometimes a task/project will take more than the 2 hours I have available for it today, so I'd like to assign another 2 hours tomorrow; but I still want both chunks to show in my calendar and count towards time spent on said task. Does that make sense? Sunsama has a fair solution for this: https://help.sunsama.com/docs/dealing-with-multi-day-tasks

As one who’s between Sunsama and Akiflow, i have to say i’m realizing the timer and pomodoro features of sunsama are vitally helpful. I’d LOVE to see Akiflow add this as you have several features I love, too. The timer/pomodoro really helps me focus, and the time tracking really helps me estimate task time far better. (If you can aim longterm for the AI-assisted estimates, those turn out to be really helpful, too, but just the timer would be a huge help.) Thank you! I know you have a lot you’re working on.

I like this idea, but would also like to ask for it to be implemented carefully... As to not clutter the app for people that wouldn't like to use it.

Please bring this feature to Akiflow, I know all of us in some way use a tracker or stopwatch to see how long were taking. Seeing a clock tick away on our task/event would be a golden opportunity.
Referencing Des Nikas post as well
"If the actual time exceeds the planned time there would be an option to re-schedule the task if you exit the timer, otherwise you could keep working on it until it's finished. A pause button would be good here. You can then clearly see by how much you went 'overtime'."

At the very least an integration with Toggl via their browser extensions would be an interim way to get this done. However, native time tracking while in focus mode would be ideal....

Yah, this is definitely the feature that would make me become "Akiflow Believer" and pay for the next 5 years.

I fully support this feature. I came over from sunsama, currently trialing, I think it might be the only thing missing.
Tags/labels convinced me to try it but the reflection on actual vs planned and multiple segments of a task getting completed are important to me. Otherwise I’m loving it more than sunsama so far. Will probably cancel the other one

Time Tracking with Actual vs Planned time functionality

Des Nikas
There are currently 534 upvotes requesting a time-tracking feature here since 2021, so it seems to me to be way overdue. It would be great to have this, ideally within Focus mode where you can see clearly how much time a task is taking as it ticks away against the planned time. If the actual time exceeds the planned time there would be an option to re-schedule the task if you exit the timer, otherwise you could keep working on it until it's finished. A pause button would be good here. You can then clearly see by how much you went 'overtime'. My feeling is that the lack of this function may be driving users away to other time-blocking apps that have this function...
