What it really isA personal to-do app that also bundles a calendar, habit tracker, focus timer and countdowns.

Our takeTickTick earns its following by putting several small productivity apps into one.

The free plan is usable day to day, with sync on every platform, and the limits only bite once you pass 9 lists or want the full calendar. At US$49.99 a year, Premium is cheap for what it adds. It is a personal planner first; team features are light.

Why we rate itIt replaces a to-do app, habit tracker and focus timer with one app that has a usable free plan.

The catchFull calendar views need Premium, the web sells only a yearly plan, and shared lists top out at 29 members.

Trade-offs

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Minutes: create a list and type tasks with natural language dates.
Scale breakpoint
The free plan's 9-list and 99-task-per-list caps; shared lists stop at 2 members on Free.
Walled garden
Low to moderate: Google Calendar and Notion connections exist, but native integrations are few.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
