About tiq
tiq is an iPhone app by Shezad Ahamed for managing a single day at a time. It skips projects and long backlogs in favor of daily checklists, recurring tasks, and routines, with time and location reminders and a progress view. No account is required, and a custom reset time controls when each day starts over.
Its distinguishing feature is Accountability Lock, which uses Screen Time to block distracting apps that you select until your tasks are complete. Checklists can be shared as images. A Pro upgrade adds unlimited tasks and lists, location reminders, themes, custom list colors, and alternate app icons. The app supports English plus Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese, and is free to download with in-app purchases.
