Worth knowing
Blitzit

- The stable desktop app is for macOS 12.3 or later and Windows 10 and 11. Linux and web versions exist only in the 3.0 beta.
- Blitzit 3.0 uses a new database, so lists and tasks from version 2.x have to be migrated, and changes do not sync back.
- The Blitzy assistant and Sessions Tracking are labeled beta, and PDF export of reports is marked coming soon.
TickTick
- The free plan is capped at 9 lists, 99 tasks per list, 5 habits and 1 attachment per day.
- Multiple calendar views, task duration and email reminders are listed as Premium features.
- The pricing page shows Premium only as a $49.99 annual plan; a $4.99 monthly option appears on the App Store listing.
- Location-based reminders are listed as iOS only.
Key features
Blitzit
- Blitz mode and floating timer
- Blitz mode starts a focus session on the Today column: the top task gets a live timer while the rest wait below, and the list can collapse into a floating countdown.
- Time estimates and tracking
- Each task takes an estimate of how long it should take, and the app records done time and overtime so the two can be compared.
- Pomodoro timer
- A Pomodoro mode splits work into sprints and breaks of fixed lengths that you set, such as 60 minutes of work and a 15-minute break.
- Scheduling and recurring tasks
- Tasks can be scheduled once or on a repeating basis, with alerts when a scheduled task comes due and a choice to do it now or later.
- Reports
- Productivity, time-spent and sessions reports show where time went by list and how closely time estimates matched what tasks actually took.
- Blitzy AI assistant and MCP
- Blitzy, labeled beta, turns typed or spoken thoughts into tasks, notes, subtasks and schedules. An MCP server lets ChatGPT and Claude create and find tasks.
TickTick
- Typed and spoken task capture
- Dates and times are recognized as a task is typed. Voice Capture turns speech into one or more tasks and uses AI to pull out dates and priorities.
- Calendar views
- Yearly, monthly, weekly, multi-day, multi-week and agenda views show tasks alongside subscribed calendars. The free plan has a basic calendar view; Premium lists multiple views.
- Kanban, timeline and matrix
- A list can be shown as a kanban board, as a timeline for tasks that have a duration, or as an Eisenhower matrix that sorts tasks by urgency and importance.
- Pomodoro timer
- Work on a task in 25-minute focus intervals. Statistics report focus time next to completed tasks and habit logs.
- Habit tracker
- Habits are logged and charted in the same app as tasks. The free plan allows 5 habits and Premium allows 299.
- Shared lists
- Share a list with other people and assign tasks to them. The member count is 2 on the free plan and 29 on Premium.
