TickTick
Tasks, habits and focus in one app
Overview
TickTick punches far above its weight. For a fraction of Todoist's price, it offers task management, calendar integration, habit tracking, a Pomodoro timer and — uniquely — a built-in white noise/focus sounds player, all in a polished interface.
It's become the productivity tool of choice for users who want everything in one place without paying premium prices. The natural language task entry is excellent, calendar view is genuinely useful, and the habit tracker is one of the best available as a standalone feature.
The premium plan at just $27.99/year makes it one of the best value productivity subscriptions available anywhere.
TickTick is the hidden gem of productivity apps. For less than £25/year you get a tool that rivals apps charging 3-4x more. If you want tasks, habits and focus in one place without paying premium prices, TickTick is the answer.
