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.

Zenkit To Do

Inbox and smart lists

New tasks land in an Inbox and are sorted into lists and folders. Smart lists such as Today, This Week, Starred and Assigned to Me pull tasks together across lists.

Due dates, reminders and repeaters

Tasks take due dates and reminders, and repeaters create recurring tasks at intervals you choose, including on workdays only.

Shared lists, assignments and comments

Lists and folders can be shared with other people, tasks assigned to members, and comments with @mentions keep the discussion on the task.

Subtasks, files and notes

Tasks break down into subtasks and checklists, take file attachments including from Dropbox, Box or Google Drive, and have descriptions formatted with Markdown or HTML.

Offline access across devices

Lists and tasks stay available offline and sync between the web app and the apps for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux.

Shared data with the Zenkit suite

To Do sits on the same data platform as other Zenkit products, so its tasks can also be opened in Zenkit's project tool with Kanban, Gantt and mind map views.
