How to evaluate the TodoList App?

I remember many years ago, before smart phones became popular, I began to constantly try time management tools, especially list-type tools. At first, I could only use the GTD process system on my computer. Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar, and then tried MLO (MyLifeOrganized), Remember The Milk, Doit.im. In recent years, I have also used Wunderlist, Omnifocus, Microsoft Todo, Any.do, Todoist, Things 3, Sorted and other products, but There has never been a product that can fully meet the needs of a perfectionist and detail-oriented patient like me.

Until I came across the product Tick Tak List. After more than a month of trial, I have determined that this product is the software I need and can fully meet my ideas. Currently, I have used it quickly. 2 years. As I become more proficient in using it, I often find new features that I didn't expect and call perfect. So after writing several individual time management tool review articles before, I wanted to do a complete review of Tick List. Let’s take a look at the specific content:

1. Overview of the software

1. Purpose

List agency management

Calendar management

p>

Collaborative tasks

Pomodoro

Habit of clocking in

Basically put all time management content into one system.

2. Platform

iPhone & iPad & iWatch

Android

Windows

Mac OS

Webpage

Browser plug-in

WeChat public account

The official website says there are 1 platforms, which is simply domination of all platforms. I just want to ask, are there any platforms that you don't support?

3. Cost

It can be used for free, but some functions require a premium subscription.

Advanced version 139/year.

As for the cost issue, I suggest that light users can use the free version, and then consider the annual fee after they are familiar with it and feel it is suitable for them.

4. Highlights

It has complete functions and basically covers all aspects of time management.

Attention to details, for example, in terms of task repetition, there is actually a repetition set according to the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, which has not been seen in other software.

Attach importance to feedback. Judging from the official website forum, developers attach great importance to user feedback, and many functions are based on user feedback.

5. Official introduction

Tick Tick List is a cross-platform synchronized to-do list and task reminder software.

The ticking list can help you complete to-do tasks, such as work plans, birthday reminders, travel arrangements, meeting preparations, etc., so that you can better plan your time and organize your life.

2. Scenario application

1. List management

Tick Tak’s list levels are folders, lists, tasks, and subtasks, which can basically meet all kinds of tasks. demand. Among them, I think the smart list is a very important and personalized function. It is basically similar to the perspective function of OmniFocus, and achieves the function of filtering and displaying tasks.

2. Task creation and management

In terms of creating tasks, it can basically be regarded as dominating the entire platform. Voice addition, Natural language recognition, WeChat addition, Siri addition, Widget addition, email addition, I can't think of any other input methods... Let's experience the interface of task addition, and the Ebbinghaus I mentioned earlier The forgetting curve.

For patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, it should be very comfortable to see so many input methods.

In task management, there are many details, such as attachments, comments, etc., which can be highly customized. These can be gradually realized during use.

3. Calendar view

My two favorite functions are switching the calendar view and customizing the display content and color.

The first is to switch the calendar view, list view, month view, day view, three-day view and week view. I usually use the three-day view, which can not only see farther, but also see more clearly. In many software, there is either day or week, but the day view is too detailed and the week view looks too crowded. The three-day view just meets my comprehensive needs:)

Then there is customized display. The display range can exclude lists or tasks that you do not want to display in the calendar to eliminate interference.

Color can control the color displayed in the calendar view. Both of these functions are very easy to use.

2. Price

As mentioned earlier, it can be used for free. Some functions belong to the premium version, and the premium version is 139/year.

I suggest that light users can use the free version, and then consider the annual fee when they feel it is really suitable.

3. Interface

Vector skeuomorphic style, it doesn’t feel like there are many features.

4. The operations

are fairly intuitive, and even the more complicated ones, such as the smart list system, can be understood clearly if you look at it carefully.

5. Synchronization and security

Tick Tick List has its own cloud dida365.com, and task data can be operated and backed up on the computer.

4. Summary

This article only describes the general function of the tick list. There are too many details to describe in screenshots one by one. For example, about the smart list, through different arrangements Through combination, you can create a lot of personalized lists. The software provides basic framework content. You can play freely on it and create your own list agency system according to your own habits. Everyone's list system can be different.

If we want to talk about the shortcomings, it is the review part of time management. The Tiktok web version provides a week review function, you can see this week The work content completed within a certain period of time or within a certain period of time can be regarded as a summary of the work for a period of time. Omnifoucs also has a review function, which regularly traverses all its tasks to achieve the purpose of cleaning up tasks. However, this is not the summary review function I want. I have not found a better way to use software to summarize, so currently I use the Evernote form to record weekly plans and summaries separately, which can better meet my needs.

In general, the Tick-Tock List is the most complete comprehensive to-do list system that I currently think. Nowadays, every day’s work and life are arranged and executed using this system. Without this system, life feels like a wasteland. It’s all going to be a mess :). It is expected that I will continue to use it in the future. I recommend that you use it for free for a period of time before deciding whether this system is suitable for you. Next time I will evaluate the Omnifoucs system and make a comprehensive comparison between Tick List and Omnifoucs to provide you with a reference when choosing a system.
