TickTick
Task manager with built-in calendar, habit tracker, Pomodoro timer, and Kanban boards.
Overview
TickTick is a task manager with built-in calendar, habit tracker, Pomodoro timer, and Kanban boards. It handles calendar view, habits, pomodoro, and kanban, and it's best suited for productivity enthusiasts wanting tasks + habits + calendar. It has been around since 2013, giving it a 13-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The free plan is free with limits — enough for most people to evaluate whether it fits. It's aimed at individual users, so it's fast to set up but may lack team-management features if you scale.
Strengths
- Built-in calendar view shows tasks alongside your schedule for easier planning
- Habit tracking is built in — no need for a separate app to track daily routines
- Free with limits — generous enough for most small teams to get real work done
- Established product with 13+ years on the market and a mature ecosystem
Weaknesses
- Free plan has meaningful restrictions: free with limits
- Fewer built-in features means you may need additional tools to cover gaps
- Migrating existing projects from another tool can be time-consuming
- Limited team/admin features if your organization eventually scales up
