what AI can build

Ingest tasks from selected tools, show an inbox, drag into a calendar, create time blocks, and push updates back.

The planner UI can be built, but bringing every task source into one reliable, two-way calendar workflow means OAuth, APIs, sync conflicts, and maintenance.

the prompt

Catalog estimate
Build me a daily planner with time blocking to replace Akiflow. Requirements:

- Local web app: Node + Express + better-sqlite3; the day/week grid is
  FullCalendar with vanilla JS, no build step.
- A capture inbox: one text box, Enter saves a task; tasks have title,
  minutes estimate (default 30), and a done flag.
- Drag a task from the inbox sidebar onto the grid to create a time block;
  drag to move or resize; block and task stay linked, completing one
  completes the other.
- My real calendar shows behind the blocks as a read-only overlay of ICS
  feed URLs from .env; Google Calendar's secret ICS address works and needs
  no OAuth.
- Keyboard-first: n for new task, t for today, arrows move selection, Enter
  schedules the selected task into the next free slot.
- Morning rollover: unfinished blocks from yesterday return to the inbox
  with a reschedule counter, so chronically avoided tasks are visible.
- SQLite storage, localhost only, no accounts, no telemetry.
- Out of scope: two-way Google/Outlook sync and pulling tasks in from other
  apps. Read-only overlay only; OAuth plus sync-conflict handling is exactly
  the maintenance that makes Akiflow worth paying for.
- README: how to find a calendar's secret ICS URL.

questions

Can AI replace Akiflow?

Possibly for a narrower core workflow, but this catalog judgment is not a verified build. Expected gaps include: wide integrations, two-way sync. Validate the prompt against your own acceptance criteria before committing.

How much does Akiflow cost?

Akiflow is listed at about $34/month (Pro Monthly, checked 2026-07-30), or $408 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Akiflow?

Honestly: wide integrations; two-way sync; keyboard UX; mobile/desktop apps; support for API breakage. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Akiflow?

Yes — Super Productivity (Open-source personal productivity app that covers portions of time blocking and task plann). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
