Productivity

TickTick

Tasks, habits and calendar in one app.

What it is

TickTick combines tasks, habits, a calendar and a Pomodoro timer in one app across every platform. Putting habits, tasks and a timer in the same app means the day is planned in one place rather than three. The cost is that none of those parts goes as deep as a dedicated tool, which shows if you need real project structure.
