TickTick review

TickTick packs more planning tools into one app than anything else on this list. Next to ordinary lists, subtasks, tags and recurring tasks, it has a Pomodoro timer, a habit tracker, countdowns, an Eisenhower Matrix and calendar views from yearly down to agenda, and it syncs across phone, computer, tablet and watch. Natural language input sets dates and reminders as you type, and Constant Reminder keeps a notification ringing until the task is complete. The free plan allows 9 lists and 99 tasks per list with list and Kanban views. Premium costs US$49.99 per year, under $4.17 a month, and raises limits to 299 lists and 999 tasks per list while adding full calendar views, timeline, task duration, email reminders, themes and AI features such as voice capture and recording summaries. The cost of all this is clutter. New users can feel buried in options, and Todoist is the calmer choice if you only need a list. For value, TickTick is hard to beat.
