## What Akiflow does well
Akiflow is built for people whose work arrives from many places (email, Slack, project tools). Its strength is a single inbox and fast keyboard-driven planning of those tasks into the calendar.

## What Cutline does differently
- **Free planning.** The calendar, XP, streaks and calendar links cost nothing.
- **Done is the point.** Blocks are ticked off and scored.
- **A record you can show.** Finished hours become a [verified CV](https://gocutline.com/verified-cv/).

## Using both
If you need a universal task inbox, keep it, and plan the week's important work as blocks in Cutline.

## Questions
