TickTick review
Tasks, calendar, habits and focus timer in one app
- Appest Limited
- Free + paid plans
- iPhone & iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, Web
Does it deserve #6?
The verdict
TickTick packs more into one app than almost any task manager. Alongside lists and natural language input, you get a calendar view, habit tracker, Pomodoro focus timer and Eisenhower matrix, on every major platform. The free plan is unusually useful, and Premium is good value. The trade-off is a busier interface than Things or Todoist, and fewer integrations. Great if you want tasks, time and habits in one place.
- Built-in Pomodoro focus timer
- Habit tracker
- Calendar and timeline views
