Amazing Marvin

FacileThings

"Facilethings"
"For a GTD-starter FacileThings is great, as it guides you through the GTD-process."

#8
TickTick
3.9
(10)
"Yep I use Ticktick for everything. I have a folder of Notes lists for reference materials, use the Inbox with a phone shortcut to collect all tasks, it has reminders, repeats, focus tracking, completion stats, you can add attachments to tasks, there are completion summaries that spit out what work you've done, it's pretty comprehensive."
"Has all the best features from most apps mentioned."
"Check out TickTick"
"Trying out TickTick…2Do my current go to, but struggled to get acceptable adding new tasks via voice Shortcuts. TickTick Shortcuts works very well."
"TickTick has a great calendar view."
"I have really been loving Ticktick, though you have to pay the fee for Windows version I have just fine with webapp on desktop and Android."
"TickTick does most of that!"
"It does have the right functions but I do not like the today view in ticktick."
"When I used it, TickTick had critical limitations in free version as well."
"In my experience Todoist has less of a purist GTD flow, and is more about to-do lists. I used Todoist for a few years for personal stuff and left it for TickTick, which is very similar."
