Todoist’s labels can be selected from the available tags or you can start them with and type them in TickTick tags can be added by typing # followed by the tag (#tag). It also allows you to fully utilize custom lists and filters (see below) to find tasks in different lists or that share a specific tag/label. This expands the functionality from just a simple “to do list” to a simplified project management tool. Tags / Labelsīoth apps allow you to add labels or tags to your tasks. This helps you maintain the recurrence even if you miss a deadline. If you want to do a task every! three days, but don’t get the task done until the fourth day, the next occurrence will be three days from when you completed it. The distinction is that the exclamation mark will move the next occurrence of the event. Second, Todoist lets you use every! in addition to every. For example, every day until Friday would give you five occurrences of the task if today was Monday. First, you can put an end date on your recurrence and it will understand. Todoist seems to have a leg up with smart dates in two ways, however. TickTick also lets you choose whether you want the text of your date/time to remain in the task title, which is a nice little feature Todoist will remove it no matter what. Both let you choose which day is your start of the week, but only Todoist seems to let you actually pick which day of the week “next week” should be. In fact, both apps can even interpret “next week” and set the task due at the start of next week. It’s pretty incredible some of the plain English verbiage you can use that will be interpreted: every other week, mid January, in three days, etc. These are very powerful in that beyond the standard “tomorrow at 4pm”, they also recognize dates like “every thursday” or “next saturday”. What that means is that you can just type the date in the text of your task and both apps will set the date (and time) that you specify. Both TickTick and Todoist will default to the inbox if you don’t specify a project or list.īoth apps have “smart date” parsing available. If you’re like me, you focus on adding a task quickly and just have it dump to the inbox for processing later. Both have keyboard shortcuts available so you can simply type a task out and have tags/labels added, due dates, and moved to a specific project or list. TickTick has a box to start typing right at the top of the page, or you can hit n to bring up the quick add. Todoist has you click a + symbol at the top to popup a little entry box, or you can hit q to bring up the quick add. Without further ado …īoth Todoist and TickTick have quick and easy ways to enter tasks.
#Gtasks and ticktick free#
If you don’t plan to pay for either premium version, I suggest you continue reading, decide which features are most important to you, and then compare the free versions of both ( here and here). My goal was to give people the tools to decide which of these two tools best meets their needs or fits with their process.
#Gtasks and ticktick android#
I compared the premium offerings of both primarily in the web version but also on my Android phone (running Android O) this offered the best oranges-to-oranges comparison. I didn’t pick a “winner”, I merely compared offerings in several categories and then gave a few pros and cons of each.
However, I had recently been hearing a lot of hub-bub about TickTick and decided to take a look at their offering and compare it with Todoist. This allows on the one hand, to inform about important events in advance (several days), and on the other hand, do not clutter up the widget by unimportant events - they can display the day or in the very day of occurence.I’ve been using Todoist for several months and am really starting to develop and trust my system with it. Any event or widet component can be temporarily hidden.įor each event, you can specify the number of days before the event when it would be displayed in the widget.
The year can be excluded from date string. Next alarm clock activation time can be displayed just before going to bed - in the configured time interval. The main widget 4x3 (4x2), displays the current time, date, alarm clock, day of week, as well as a list of events sorted by the proximity of their occurrence. Mission of the program: the withdrawal of the information required in current moment on a limited space of home screen. A widget of the current time, date, alarm, birthdays contacts and calendar events, google tasks (Gtasks, TickTick and CalenGoo apps), weather (loading data from ), incoming mail (AquaMail app) and with an opportunity to set each event the number of days before the event when it would be displayed in the widget.
