Looking for a TickTick alternative?
TickTick is a full task manager with a calendar, habits and a pomodoro timer built in. If that's more than you need — or you'd rather focus first and organise second — here is how Todo & Timer compares.
| Feature | TickTick | Todo & Timer |
|---|---|---|
| Plans | The free plan limits how many lists, tasks and habits you can have; paid Premium lifts the limits and adds advanced statistics and calendar time blocks. | Free: the timer, timebox mode and sync between devices. Paid plans add room for more lists, tasks, files and history. |
| Focus timer | Built-in pomodoro and stopwatch linked to tasks; advanced statistics are Premium. | Pomodoro timer with custom lengths, unlimited rounds on every plan. Each round belongs to one task and ends with “done / not yet / later”. |
| Tasks | A full task manager: lists, tags, calendar views, habits, countdowns, natural-language dates. | Lists with sections, subtasks, due dates, reminders, notes, attachments and read-only share links. |
| Per-task time & finish time | Task duration and calendar time blocks (Premium). | Timebox mode: give any task its own minutes, see when the whole list will be done, run the list in order. |
| Sync between devices | Across all its apps. | Free account syncs between devices and works offline. |
| Platforms | Web, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux and watches. | Any modern browser, desktop and mobile. No native apps yet. |
| Use without an account | An account is needed to use it. | Yes — guest mode keeps everything in this browser, no sign-up. |
Prices and plan limits change, so we don't quote them here. See TickTick's website and our plans page for the current details.

- Mature collaboration and integrations.
Where Todo & Timer is the better choice
- Start without an account: guest mode keeps your list in the browser.
- Focus-first design: every round ends with “done / not yet / later”, never ticked off for you.
- Timebox mode shows when the whole list will be done, on the free plan.
- No ads, fewer settings to learn, and nine interface languages.
In short
Choose TickTick if you want one app for tasks, calendar and habits. Choose Todo & Timer if you want a calmer list built around focusing on one task at a time.
