TickTick is a cross-platform productivity app that combines to-do lists, a full calendar, and habit tracking in a single product. Users can quickly capture tasks from browser extensions, email, widgets, or voice input, then organize them into lists, folders, and smart filters, or lay them out visually with Kanban boards and a project timeline view. The calendar side offers yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, agenda, multi-day, and multi-week views, plus two-way sync with Google Calendar and subscriptions to other calendars. Built-in productivity tools include a Pomodoro-style focus timer with white-noise sounds, an Eisenhower Matrix for prioritizing tasks, a countdown tool for tracking important dates, and a habit tracker with statistics for building routines. TickTick supports flexible and recurring reminders (including location-based reminders on iOS), list sharing and task assignment for lightweight collaboration, and dozens of themes for customizing the interface. It runs on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web, plus smartwatches, with real-time sync across every device. TickTick grew out of GTasks, an Android to-do app the team originally built in 2010, and launched under the TickTick name in 2013 as a broader cross-platform product.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Combines task management, a full calendar, a Pomodoro timer, and habit tracking in one app instead of requiring separate tools
Wide platform coverage with real-time sync across phones, tablets, computers, and smartwatches
Flexible task views (list, Kanban, timeline) and prioritization tools like the Eisenhower Matrix suit different working styles
Free plan is usable on its own, with Premium available at a clearly lower price than many productivity-suite competitors
Cons
Several higher-value features (full calendar functionality, custom filters, activity history, checklist reminders) are locked behind the Premium subscription rather than included free
Collaboration tools are lightweight (list sharing and task assignment) compared to dedicated project-management or team-collaboration platforms
Public integrations page does not enumerate a full list of supported third-party apps, making it hard to verify integration depth before signing up
Location-based reminders are iOS-only, so Android users lose that specific feature
