Akiflow is a productivity tool that consolidates all your to-dos from multiple platforms (via API - email/slack/asana/etc.) and has a comprehensive view (tasks+calendars). No more switching between multiple apps, no more context switching.

Why are we building Akiflow?

In the last few years, we have seen tremendous changes in the way we work. The pandemic has disrupted the idea of a "traditional office" work environment, and many of us are now working in a "Hybrid office," combining remote work and office time. That's not the only significant shift in the workspace; in fact, not only did work environments change but so did the very nature of people's jobs. Knowledge workers nowadays spend a lot of time juggling various tasks, coming from everywhere - project management tools, email, chat apps, etc.

In a world where the boundaries between private life and work-life are thinner than ever, and the complexity of our jobs is higher than ever, effective planning has become an essential skill to help everyone use their time as efficiently as possible. We build Akiflow because we are firm believers that avoiding cognitive overload, distractions, overscheduling, and context switching is the key to staying productive and happy in the modern work environment.
