Nozbe

Projects, tasks and comments

Work is split into projects that hold tasks, and discussion happens in the comments on each task, where files and documents can be attached.

Priority, Incoming and Activity views

Priority is a list you fill yourself. Incoming gathers today's and overdue tasks, reminders, assignments and mentions. Activity shows changes in the projects you follow.

Calendar and time tracking

Tasks take deadlines and reminders and can be scheduled in a Calendar view. Recording the time needed and time spent on a task requires Premium.

Nozbe AI

Describing a project in a prompt, or importing a CSV file, creates a project with sections, tasks and comments. Free spaces get 3 requests; Premium gets up to 1,000.

Multiple spaces

One account can own or join several spaces, for example for work and private life. Each Premium space is billed on its own; Business covers unlimited spaces.

Integrations and API

Integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Dropbox, OneDrive, Evernote and Zapier are open to every plan, and there is a REST API.

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.
