TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Intro
The update looks really nice but I can't use it still because the same issues still exist for me:
- The desktop app is horrible for navigating with just the keyboard. It's set up in a way that requires the mouse which is infuriating. I can't just arrow up and down to scroll my different lists, use the up and down arrows to navigate my different tasks, and I can't easily switch focus between the detail view of a task or habit and the list of tasks or task lists themselves. It makes the user experience so horrible for someone like me that likes to navigate around without a mouse. Things has this nailed and will be sticking with them. If you updated or changed this, you'd have a new customer. I really like almost everything else about TickTick.
- For the quick add, it makes the main window appear every time the quick add input bar comes up which makes no sense. It makes one think "what the heck is the point of the quick add bar if it just makes the main window appear every time. Meaning if I have the app hidden (not minimized) and I hit the Quick Add shortcut, then the app's main window shows along with the Quick Add input field. What is the point of this? Just make the Quick Add input field show by itself every time unless I already have the main window of TickTick showing.

Great update, but I hate this robotic voice.
02:04 Enhanced Color Options
03:06 New Modern Style
I've been using TickTick for 10 years! since 2016. Recently I wanted to try out something new and different so I tried Tiimo since it was voted best app of 2025 and it's designed specifically for ADHD/neurodivergent people. It's not anywhere as good or productive as TIckTick, but the one thing I really enjoyed about their app was their desktop version has a view of the calendar and a sidebar of all the tasks. I love this view. I live in the weeks view and I like having my list of to dos and dragging and dropping them into my calendar. I know TickTick does have this feature already with the "arrange tasks" but the sidebar of tasks is SO small and narrow I often misclick and drag the wrong task... I would love to see a revamp of this section!
03:41 Suggested Tasks
04:20 Task Detail Page Improvements
Start, do and due (deadline) dates please!
Also ability for tasks to lay over events in the calendar view, not be squished to the side of them. That way we can have routines/time blocks in our calendar, and drag to dos over them.
04:47 List Backgrounds
05:38 Desktop Interface Improvements
When can we get start and deadline dates? Please mirror Things 3
Update to TickTick 8.0 to try all these new features.
Let us know in the comments which update you like the most — and what you’d love to see next.
It’d be great if you could ‘nest’ notes under a parent note, just like with task.

Listen, you should have included an important feature: the ability to add tasks directly through Gemini, just as you integrated with Siri. We want this in android TickTick as well.

WHAT IS TICKTICK:
An all-in-one productivity app.
Great update! 🩷 The nice visual experience is what makes a huge difference & one of the reasons I've been enjoying Tick Tick for planning.
Would love to see yearly planning in the calendar. Example: I mapped out four main projects for this year & would love to be able to mark them in the yearly view (for example by assigning certain date ranges with certain colors & then if I click those date ranges it'd open a specific list tied into that) 👀 Also would love to see multiple calendars, for example to separate work & personal.
🚀 To-do list & task manager with Eisenhower Matrix
📅 Calendar
Make a permanent subscription plz for same price of the yearly subscription price
🍅 Pomodoro timer
🧘 Habit tracker
Does the yearly view allow us to see paticular events? so I can set a event to highlight a day?

The best app for productivity
@felipefdeaguiarUsed a lot of todo apps over the years. About 4 years ticktick now. It's the absolute most complete app I've ever used. This is another great update!
@TimWatchingVideosJust switched from Things 3 to TickTick and I gotta say I am impressed. I especially like your integration of notes alongside the tasks. For me having notes and tasks close to each other is key. Killer feature that not many other apps have, they usually specialize in one or the other.
@erikpapik3664Is this applicable for the web app as well? Please, for the love of God say it is.
@TheUnknownSpiderManToo bad it’s not on setapp anymore 😢
@FullStackHowardFor tasks scheduled for the current day (“Today”), TickTick works well and helps with prioritization.
The problem appears when planning the next day (“Tomorrow”) or future dates: when changing a task’s priority, the app often fails to correctly reorder the list, resulting in an inconsistent task order that compromises planning.
Additionally, some settings made on one device do not always properly sync to others, indicating a lack of platform consistency.
Overall, these are serious flaws that undermine the reliability of the app.
I do not found for linux
@jesielvianaNice! Now add Goals functionality for each list!
@Jack-ik1rswhy does it sound AI?!? also barely noticed a difference. can't go to todoist tho :(
@justechitSTILL NO MORE DARK THEMES?
@soviet-1n17good update the app is improving but i think it's the time that you need to listen to users feedback, alot of people asked for rtl support or arabic language or ai like notion does and now claude cowork is here if you didnot hurry up you will be fall behind becarful.
@Yusuf_ZakiAwesome update 🎉... Thank you Tick Tick Teams 🙏
@bkkaranja2873Love it, thanks. "Suggested tasks" is a great idea for procrastinators everywhere!
@jonr6680Now focus on feedback You receiving from Users in app about common ux issues
@0xFF-p2u.
@aldolinkTickTick is great but it’s the only todo app that can’t handle folders in folders. Why? Vote for nested folders here ——————————————>
@BobEkman-b4tWhen will we get habit tracking as a widget on Windows? It's possible for calendar and tasks but the widget feature is another massive reason that people gravitate towards your app.
@idimachkaI still want task ranking
@ScottOstrI barely notice visual changes
@arm8636where AI? lol... How long do we need to wait?
@artemzaecev7751Thanks for the update. Still missing RTL support for the text
@avi2005STOP THE AI VOICES. PLEEEASSEEE!!!!
@pikolowetI love TickTick....
@DesignDesignsNow I understand the 8.0 update. On desktop, the changes seemed mostly visual, while on mobile they were more impactful. Good job.
@fabio.souza.ohopefully the Linux app gets updated as well
@HeDoesNotRowAs a long-time TickTick user, I’m increasingly frustrated with the product’s direction, assuming it’s still being guided by something other than UI mockups.
Despite years of clear, consistent community feedback, core functionality remains untouched, while UI refinements of questionable necessity continue to roll out. It increasingly feels as though visual iteration is being mistaken for product progress.
Some of these apparently advanced concepts still missing include:
- Proper due-date support: because when a task is worked on and when it is actually due are, inconveniently, different.
- Native support for events: calendar items that are not tasks and do not require completion.
- Automatic success for breaking bad habits: habits that should resolve themselves when the day ends, without users babysitting the system.
- A real long-term goal system: goals across weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, and longer horizons, just like timestripe.
TickTick remains one of the strongest productivity apps available, which makes this even harder to justify. With a bit less energy spent polishing pixels and a bit more spent understanding productivity systems, this app could easily pull far ahead of its competitors, rather than quietly giving them room to pass.
🎉🎉🎉
I am a proud TickTick Premium user for 3 years.
Great update, the app is getting better and better. I hope someday you'll introduce a dedicated notes section, organizable in folders. That would turn TickTick into my only app for organization
@coolcarlwheezerTickTick is the best.
@t.b.3511Good overview of the new features. That was helpful.
@andrekrothNote and task to PDF export. No option
