This would be extremely helpful! Probably my biggest gripe with Akiflow is how tiny all my 15m tasks are, and all the empty space after ~8pm

yes please! Let us set it so we only see the hours in the calendar we want to see. All those gaping overnight hours just hiding my view of what I really need to see - please let me make them go away.

Francesco added me to this but just voicing my vote too! It's also an accessibility issue on two fronts. 1) Visual impairment, the obvious one, and 2) Using other pointing devices other than a mouse. Using a very precise pointing device like a mouse is far less of a problem but I (and many other developers I know) use a graphics tablet/pen set up as a pointing device. Some use them out of preference and others (like me) use them because of RSI injury. Having the shorter tasks appear so small is really tricky to select/click into with a graphics tablet/pen.

Gavin Fawcett: This 100%. I'm facing this issue currently and am having to use a third-party app to zoom in on things when I hover over them in the app.

Doesnt look like this feature has gained much traction by looking at how old it is. Really should be able to tell it to start your work day at 8AM and it doesnt show the wasted space above. Same as end of day. That way it would maximize what you want to see. I tried zooming (not great) and calendar views, but not happy with the results.

Hi everyone! We just released a new version where you can quickly customize the amount of information displayed in your calendar by clicking on the ⚙️ icon and picking your calendar size.
Let me know what you think:)

Hi everyone! We are working on a feature to pick your calendar "density", so you can decide to see more or less hours in your calendar view.
In the meantime, we have introduced the ability to zoom in and out in the Akiflow desktop app, just like you can in the browser.
Stefania: I was expecting this to zoom the calendar in and out but it zooms the whole app which is a pretty poor experience IMO. I don't want the task list to become tiny and unreadable just to see more of the calendar.
This would be great. In my akiflow much of the real estate is taken up with evening and night, but all my tasks are planned during working hours

I support this request 100% for the calendar view. It would be great to have the option to change the ganularity of the calendar (e.g. by using Ctrl+scroll). Not only for visibility so that multiples tasks doesn't get groupped together, but also in order to be more precise when a task is assigned to a time-block. For example if I could zoom in to a 5min scale instead of the 15min default, I could assign 3 small tasks of 5 min next to each other in a that 15 min block. This would also direclty set the order in which I want to execute those tasks. That way, I don't have to think of what comes next when the moment to execute those tasks comes. One of my favourite implementation of a calendar with customizable zoom/granularity is the Android app called Business Calendar, if you're looking for some inspiration check it out ;-)

Zooming in and out the calendar would be really useful to organize short tasks.

To make it even more convenient, we've added some keyboard shortcuts. Check more at this link: https://product.akiflow.com/changelog/zoom-in-out

Ethan Kravitz: Hi Ethan, if you want to see more of the calendar I'd suggest you using the calendar density and not the Zoom feature. You can read more about it here: https://product.akiflow.com/changelog/exciting-calendar-upgrades-must-read
