Looking for a TickTick alternative?
TickTick does a lot: tasks, habits, Pomodoro, calendar. If you want a focused GTD tool instead of an everything-app, tingdo is built for that.
What makes tingdo different
Scope
All-in-one productivity suite: tasks, habits, Pomodoro, calendar, and an Eisenhower matrix.
One thing done well: GTD task management. No extras. Just the method.
GTD support
No native GTD workflow. You can approximate it with tags, filters, and the Eisenhower matrix standing in for the next-action decision.
GTD is the foundation. Contexts, next actions, projects, and the weekly review are core features.
Calendar integration
Built-in calendar with time-blocking. The full calendar views sit on the paid plan.
No calendar. Deadlines exist for genuine deadlines only. The home screen shows next actions by context.
Simplicity
Feature-rich interface with many views and settings.
Minimal interface. One input field, one list of next actions, one weekly review.
Focus mode
A Pomodoro timer with white noise and focus statistics, sitting in its own tab beside the task list.
Focus Mode is the task itself, alone on a quiet screen, with the time recorded against it. No fixed intervals to fit your work into.
What you see when you open tingdo
No calendar, no red badges. Your next actions, grouped by where you are and what you have with you.

And one thing you won't find anywhere else
Most task apps give you a search screen, a new-task dialog, and a menu. tingdo gives you one quiet box that does all three. Start typing to find any task, project, or note. Type + and a title to capture a task, / to jump to a project, # to open a context. About two seconds, all without leaving the keyboard.
Bring your tasks with you
Moving from TickTick? Export your tasks as CSV and import them into tingdo. Your task titles, projects, and tags come along.
New to GTD? Learn how the methodology works before you switch, or see the full GTD task manager overview to understand how tingdo implements each step.
A different approach
Next actions, not deadlines.
The only question that matters: what's the next thing you can do? Everything else is context, not urgency.
No guilt.
There is no red-badge panic. No shame. A task is either done or it is not, and that is fine.
Capture in seconds.
A title is all you need. Project, context, deadline: all optional, all addable later.
Review, don't react.
A calm weekly review keeps your system trustworthy. One step at a time, no overwhelm. See how the weekly review works.
Notes live with your tasks.
Reference material like passwords, dimensions, or policy numbers lives right inside your projects. No separate notes app needed. Read more about how tasks and notes work together.
One input for everything.
Search, create, navigate: all from a single input field. Type to find anything, capture a task, or jump to a project. See how the next bar works.
