# An Akiflow alternative: how Tasker is different

For people who keep their personal tasks in Ukrainian and want to add them and get reminders in Telegram, rather than pull work tasks from a dozen tools into a calendar.

Dmytro Sokolnikov, maker of Tasker · November 11, 2026

## In short

### Stay with Akiflow if…

- your tasks are spread across Gmail, Slack, Notion, Asana or Todoist, and you need one inbox for them and then time blocks in Google, Outlook or iCloud Calendar;
- you work mostly from the keyboard and want to add a task with one shortcut from any window;
- your setup already works for you.

### Give Tasker a try if…

- you want to start with no card and no trial clock, and pay only if you need the advanced mode;
- Telegram is your messenger: you’d like to add a task there by text or voice and get the reminder there too, with a snooze button;
- you want an app in Ukrainian for your own life — shopping, the doctor, bills — not for work email and team tools.

## How Tasker is different

### The basic mode is free, with no time limit

You can use Tasker for free for as long as you like: tasks, reminders in Telegram and by email, recurring tasks and the bot. The advanced mode is ₴49 a month (about $1), and you don’t have to turn it on. Akiflow has no free plan: a 7-day free trial with a card, then the paid Pro plan.

### The assistant lives in Telegram

Akiflow’s assistant answers in the app and in WhatsApp; Telegram isn’t among its channels. Tasker’s bot is right in Telegram: type or say “take the cat to the vet on Saturday at 9”, and it creates the task with a reminder, then moves or completes it when you ask. In advanced mode a forwarded post, photo or PDF becomes an inbox item.

### Snooze a reminder right in the message

A Tasker reminder for a specific task arrives in Telegram on any device, with buttons to mark it done or snooze it for 10 minutes, an hour, 3 hours or a day, and by email. In the morning you can get your day’s plan in one message. Akiflow sends notifications about tasks, time blocks and events in its own desktop and phone apps.

### In Ukrainian, with GTD lists ready

Tasker was built for one person’s own tasks, and the app, hints and bot are in Ukrainian and English. In advanced mode the lists are ready: Inbox with sorting buttons, Waiting for a reply, Keep track of, Remember. Akiflow’s interface is in English only; it has an inbox with sorting and a Someday list, which Tasker doesn’t have yet.

## Common questions

### Is Tasker free?

The basic mode is free; the advanced mode is ₴49 a month (about $1). The basic mode has tasks, reminders in Telegram and by email, recurring tasks and a bot that understands everyday language and voice messages. Inbox, Today, the calendar grid, projects, target dates and attachments are in the advanced mode.

### Is there a free version of Akiflow?

No, as of November 11, 2026, Akiflow has no free plan — its pricing page says so directly. There’s a 7-day free trial with every feature, and it needs a card; after that the paid Pro plan starts unless you cancel.

### Is Akiflow available in Ukrainian?

No, as of November 11, 2026, the Akiflow app is in English only, as its help says. The Aki assistant understands text in 50+ languages, but the buttons and menus are in English. Tasker’s app, hints and bot are in Ukrainian and English.

### Can I add tasks to Akiflow from Telegram?

As of November 11, 2026, no: Telegram isn’t among Akiflow’s integrations or in its help. You can message Akiflow’s assistant in the app, in WhatsApp and by email. If Telegram is where you are, Tasker adds tasks right there.

### Can I move my tasks from Akiflow?

Not yet: Tasker has no import, and according to Akiflow’s help, tasks created in Akiflow can only be exported by asking its support. You’ll need to add your tasks by hand — in the app or by texting the bot.

### Can I use both?

Yes: bring work email, Slack and your calendar together in Akiflow, and keep everyday tasks and reminders in Tasker through Telegram. The two don’t sync with each other.
