This is convenient to have this in the same place you are reviewing other things on your ‘to-do’ list.Ĭreating a new habit to track is easy. I have covered habit trackers in previous Tech Tip articles, but TickTick has one built in. Habits, goals, and tasks go hand in hand. I think these are nice additions and will be useful for many users. TickTick is unique in some of the other components it has built in. This is a powerful function that allows for an advanced user to manage their tasks in a way that works best for them. There are several smart lists built in, and with a premium upgrade, you can create your own. The smart list for ‘today’ would group those together, and you could see them in a single view. For example, you could have several tasks due today, but are organized in different areas (i.e, home, work, errands). Smart lists help to organize all of your different tasks and can pull into a single view tasks from multiple categories. This is a premium feature, but for many, this would be a worthwhile upgrade. For those who time block, this can be a really helpful way to work your tasks and calendar together. You can put task duration information into each of your entries. This allows you to see when you have events or meetings planned and can work your tasks around them. TickTick does allow you to pull in all of your calendar items as well. If you are visiting stores, you could have a list of key items to review pop up and remind you when you get to that specific store during the day. This can be handy for shopping lists for specific stores, or as a reminder for something when you get to you home or your office. The application can geolocate you and remind you at the right time and right place. TickTick also has location sensitive reminders available. Clicking and touching that produces a quick-entry bar that allows you to enter your task details. That small limitation aside, it does import the entire email, in an easy to use/read format, and includes any attachments that were a part of the original email.įrom almost every screen in TickTick, there is a large ‘plus’ button that allows you to add a new task. The email function works well, but lacks what some other task managers add that allow for a quick link back to the email itself in your email application. This can be especially handy for follow-up items that are in your email inbox. Every account gets a special email address from TickTick to allow you to email a task or forward something from another email into your task management system. You can drag and drop from certain applications on your iPad. If you want to speak your task to your phone, TickTick has you covered with voice capture. TickTick allows you to capture tasks quickly and easily from almost any way you need. This can be especially handy if you are locked into certain platforms for work, but want to use the application differently for personal tasks. That should cover just about anyone’s need for access. They have apps for iOS, iPadOS, Android, Mac, Windows, web, Apple Watch, and even browser plug ins that work with Chrome, Firefox, Google Mail, and Outlook. TickTick on the other hand has gone all in across all platforms and has you covered in every situation. However, not all app developers bring the full features to their web version. Often, developers will try to substitute a web-based version for the various desktop platforms, and done well it can be very workable. Many will run on iOS or Android, but maybe not Mac or Windows. It is a clean looking app that works across every major platform that has a nice balance between power features and simplicity.įinding an app that works in every system environment can be difficult. Today, I am exploring TickTick, a task management app that has grown in popularity over the past few years. Finding one that makes sense for your specific needs is likely the bigger challenge. There is no shortage of applications that are designed to help you stay on track and accomplish what you need to accomplish.
