TickTick
To-do list with a calendar, habit tracker and Pomodoro timer built in
Our verdict
Second of our top three to-do list apps
For: One person who wants habits and a focus timer in the same app
TickTick runs on the same devices as Todoist and adds a habit tracker and a Pomodoro timer, which Todoist's listing does not have. Premium is $49.99 a year, less than Todoist's yearly price, and its iPhone and iPad app averages 4.9 from about 46,000 ratings. It is second because it is built around one person and shared lists, with no team workspace, and its pricing page shows Premium only as an annual plan. The free plan stops at 9 lists and 99 tasks per list.
