Full review
TickTick is a task and note-taking app for people who need one place for tasks, habits, and schedules. It works on web, iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows, so it fits mixed-device work without much setup. The app is aimed at individuals, students, and small teams that want to track day-to-day work and personal plans in the same system.
What stands out on the site is the mix of planning views. You get calendar layouts, Kanban, timeline, and an Eisenhower matrix, plus habits and Pomodoro in the same app. That makes it more than a basic to-do list. You can plan the week, time-block work, and check progress without jumping between tools.
Pricing starts with a free plan, and Premium is $35.99 per year. Premium unlocks more calendar functions, extra filters, task history, and other advanced controls. If you want a cross-platform planner with note-taking, reminders, and lightweight project views, TickTick
