Please focus on the planner and focus part of Akiflow more and a bit less on the chat pal Aki part. Your app is great thanks to it's ability to gather and plan tasks, so please help us plan and mainly track better. This feature is essential for Akiflow to give it's users features they will actually use.

This can be simply implemented with the "focus" feature that already exist.
1) using "focus" on a task
2) Clicking a timer button
3) ???
4) profit!
5) if task is completed or timer is stopped, time is reflected in task duration
I find it really tedious to MANUALLY every time to enter how much time per task; and the mismatch with the time-slot (over-spilling, under utilizing) makes me have to do math manually to reflect accurate time-slots... otherwise, what is the point?

Hi Team,
Is there any real timeline for implementing this feature?
It’s been over four years since this was requested, and it remains the most upvoted feature—clearly something users care deeply about. Frankly, it’s frustrating to see no meaningful progress.
Please don’t respond with, “We’ve added a timer.” That addition is functionally useless—it doesn’t track or link to tasks in any meaningful way. I could just as easily use the timer on my phone. What users have been asking for is a Pomodoro timer that actually integrates with tasks—nothing more, nothing less.
We’re not asking for perfection. We’re asking for basic utility.
Looking forward to a clear and honest update.

Logesh: I appreciate you sharing your thoughts so candidly. At this time, we don’t have a concrete timeline to share for this feature. Our product team is very intentional about the features we build, and we want to ensure that anything we add truly aligns with our vision for how Akiflow supports productivity.
I understand this may be frustrating to hear, and I’ll be sure your feedback is shared with the team.

I use several tools for this, but right now the best one for me is Timetracker. It logs every task by capturing the URLs or keywords that appear on the screen, categorising them by apps, websites, and platforms, and automatically assigning them to my clients. It’s perfect, having this built into Akiflow would definitely justify a higher monthly price.

Guillem Dotti Luna: Thanks for sharing your setup—Timetracker sounds super powerful! We're starting with a Pomodoro timer, but deeper tracking like this is definitely something we’d love to explore in the future.

If this ever gets implemented, I hope mobile doesn't get left behind. Currently I don't really miss not having the timer, since it's just a simple pomodoro timer. However, some of my work is away from my computer, so I need to be able to clock in and out from my phone. If y'all go the Toggl integration route instead (I think you should), then that's three birds with one stone: 1. time tracking, 2. +1 third-party integration, 3. sorta Apple watch support

Adding comment in behalf of Alexey Sosnovskiy!
An even more helpful feature would be to have the Focus Timer track the time for the task that the user is working on. It would enable task time tracking & analytics in Akiflow – a use case that I know many users struggle with is estimating time required for a task, so that one can understand the systematic bias in their time estimates and therefore what a realistic workload is. Please consider it

Jeson P Thanks for sharing. Very good point.

Jeson P yes 100%! i chronically under estimate and would love a way to compare, planned vs actual timing. It also helps Akiflow AI to understand how long certain tasks tasks.

Jeson P Yes, exactly this would be perfect. Could AI help estimate duration based on this, too, please?

I really need this feature. I use Akiflow to plan my entire day, and it’s disappointing that I still have to use Toggl to track how long I’ve worked on something.
A timer linked to the task that adjusts the task duration to the actual tracked time would already be enough as a basic solution!
Jeson P
Joris Jedamzik: Thanks for the suggestion—totally understand how valuable built-in time tracking would be for your workflow. We’ve heard similar requests, and it’s something we’re actively exploring as we gather feedback on how people use Akiflow day to day.

Some features I'd like to see in the time tracker:
- Start time tracker from any task
- Keep a history of how where time is spent. Have it viewable in the calendar
- Sync time tracked to a calendar in google calendar. Useful to see a comparison of planned time vs actual time spent
- Show statistics of past time tracked. Slice the data by week, month, etc.
- In the timer include a -5 +5 minute to increase or decrease work time or break time by 5 minute increments. Fixed 25 minute focus / 5 minute break sessions don't always work.
- Ability to switch from pomodoro timer to normal timer from the timer floating window
- Option to enable a gentle sound reminder to keep focused on the active task and configure what sound and how often to play it. This has been such a helpful feature on other pomodoro timer called Session.
- Reminders to start the timer. One of my main problems with time trackers is actually forgetting to start tracking time.
- When focus time runs out, give you the option to keep working or taking a break. Or you can always add + 5 minutes or subtract - 5 minutes
- Timer in menu bar.
- A place to log some quick notes specific to the context of the timer for reflection of how the session went.
- Option for Full screen or window on top of other apps for break time. This forces you to take a break away from your screen

Juan Angel Pesquera: Great breakdown of possible features! Thanks

I find it really disappointing that the most-voted feedback is not receiving full support. While the AI workflow you have created is impressive, it's not the feature that everyone is looking forward to. What we really need is a tracker to monitor the hours spent on a task via a timer. In the new Release 2.48, I was hoping for an upgrade to the timer feature, but it remains unchanged. I understand that you want to help us with all the AI-supported functionalities, but our fundamental need is a working Pomodoro timer that links with tasks and provides us with statistics. This is all we are really looking for in this thread. I hope we receive support for this feature soon.
Jeson P
Logesh: Thank you for this feedback. We will keep on improving this feature as we work on our future versions!

Hi Team,
I just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible work you’ve done in enabling the time tracking feature. You guys are truly awesome, and I’m thrilled to be a lifelong customer of your app! I can’t emphasize enough how happy I am with what you’ve created; it’s going to be a game changer.
I do have one piece of feedback: the floating widget is fantastic! However, it would be even more interesting if there were a way to display the time in the menu bar icon on Mac. Additionally, for now, the timer acts as a simple timer which is nice, but the usability is somewhat useless without the ability to track statistics of which tasks the Pomodoro applies to, etc.
Thank you once again for your outstanding work. Love you, team! Sending lots of love from a grateful customer!
