About TickTick
TickTick is a commercial task manager that combines to-do lists with a calendar. People use it to organize work projects, personal tasks and study plans, with calendar views at several levels (yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, agenda, multi-day and multi-week) to plan their time.
Besides lists, it offers a Kanban board, a timeline, a split view, an Eisenhower matrix and sticky notes. A built-in Pomodoro timer breaks work into 25-minute intervals, a habit tracker has a habit library with flexible tracking options and statistics, and a countdown feature records birthdays, exams and deadlines. AI features are listed as well, and data syncs across devices.
TickTick is a hosted service with web, desktop and mobile apps, a help center and productivity guides. It has a free tier to start and a paid upgrade listed on its pricing page. It suits individuals and small groups who want one app for tasks, calendar and habits.
