Fit precisely elements in the calendar

Features & Improvements RequestCalendars

I'd like to be able to be more precise about time blocking i.e. if I have tasks that I estimate to take 10min and 5min I'd like to be able to pull them into the calendar without them overlapping. For example task A (10min) fits into the calendar from 2pm until 2:10pm and after that task B (5min) fits into the calendar from 2:10pm until 2:15pm. Currently, all tasks take up 15min blocks.

    This is one of the main things that puts me on the fence with Akiflow. I really like the platform, but I am currently using another Planner that allows for smaller (even down to the minute) increments. It is very handy when I need to schedule (and then possibly move/reschedule) smaller tasks. Having them "snap" to the 15min increment blocks is very annoying. As said below, I need an app that can essentially save me time.

    I am hoping that after almost a year since this issue/suggestion was made, it would be fairly high on the priority list.

    Thanks.

      Brad: We hear you on this! This makes total sense and we are really hoping we can start working on this development in the future!

      Thanks Jeson P

      I don't want to seem difficult, but a more granular calendar experience is a must for busy professionals.

      I find myself completely "packing" my calendar with many tasks in an effort to get as much done as possible. Every minute counts (that's no exaggeration) so a densely packed schedule is the reality for me (and probably many others).

      I know some people say to "buffer" and "take breaks" and "less is more" and blah, blah, blah, but the reality is that busy professionals can't afford any "fluff" in their day.

      Anyway, thanks again for the reply. I hope Akiflow can work on this really soon. It is badly needed in the platform.

    I would really like to see this feature added really soon.

    I can create a task on a 5min increment but I then can’t drag it at the same resolution if I need to move/reschedule it to later in the day. Instead, I have to open it and do it manually. That’s a waste of time when the App is meant to save me time.

    Please implement this ASAP.

    Thanks.

      Brad: Thank you for your feedback! We understand the need for better precision when rescheduling tasks and will share this with our team. We’re always working to improve the app, and your input helps. Thanks again!

    Notion Calendar enables 5 minute granularity when holding down ^⌥ keys. Regardless of the zoom view. That would be very nice.

    Hi Daniel, you would like Akiflow to be more precise (minute-wise) when you drop a task in calendar, is that correct?

      Hi Stefania, in general the quarter hour for planing the day is great.

      In the case I described above AND when a task isn't fitting into the quarter hour format (for example set duration to 20 minutes) it would be nice to just let it attach (like a magnet) to the current time OR the previous task in the calendar without having the time gap until reaching the next quarter hour.

      I hope it was understandable.

    Hi Rain, I didn't get exactly what you need, could you please tell me more about it? We can jump on a quick call if easier :) Thank you!

      Stefania: You know the moment your time blocking, lets say you have a block for task A from 11:22 am to 12:22 pm, i want to be able to drag another task right after task A without any delay or time gaps as of right now as shown in the image there is a slight offset if i want to drag the task in this also makes the tasks stack upon each other. Basically i want a feature where if i press shift and start dragging a time block tasks into it it will snap that task and make the start time of task B right after the end time of task A. This feature will save alot of time for people time blocking since they dont have to calculate or have to fine tune the duration or start time.
