Writer says TickTick meets her to-do list needs better than other apps

Megan Ellis says she has tried many to-do list apps because she struggles to remember tasks and often puts them off.

She found drawbacks in several alternatives: Todoist sent too many notifications, Google Tasks felt too simple, and Samsung Reminder works only on Samsung Galaxy devices.

Other apps either put features behind paywalls or did not reliably schedule recurring reminders unless she opened them.

She also found that maintaining a reminder system she built herself took too much effort.

Ellis keeps returning to TickTick, which she says offers the features she needs for free.

She values being able to snooze reminders repeatedly and get a daily nudge about unfinished tasks.

TickTick also supports location-based reminders and recurring tasks scheduled based on when the previous task was completed.
