I’m maybe in the hunt for a new task manager (ߙ). I had dropped using Toodledo when the forums disappeared thinking this was the end. On looking today, the forums are back and the website has had a refresh. The app on iOS that was 2 years old is now only 11 months old.
Have I missed something? Does anyone have any concrete info? It does make me more hopeful.
I have in the interim being using Things 3, but find it a bit meh. No smart lists, horrible implementation of tag management (which has been the same for all iterations of Things). OmniFocus, the other app I used to use is down to 3.8 stars on iOS, which is not a great advert.
What are you guys using?
My requirements are:
- Start dates
- tags
- smart lists or saved searches
- macOS / iOS

TickTick does all those things, to a very high standard. There are three tabs in the sidebar: Lists (= folders/subfolders + task lists); Tags (yep, tags); Custom (smart lists)
It also has a Calendar feature. It also runs on pretty much any platform under the sun, and has a web client too.

Thank you for that! I did hear some concerns a while ago about where ticktick stored its data and that this was not secure or based in a country where data storage was questionable?

Yes, it’s Chinese, so who knows? Having said which, we’ve been using it for years and it’s proved very reliable. I have no idea whether a team of Red Army specialists are hoovering down our data like there’s no tomorrow. If so, good luck to them!
One of the most positive things about TickTick is the pace of development, which is exceptionally steady (with some impressive advances recently, including rich-text notes and the option to convert tasks into notes (or vice versa) – notes can also have deadlines, even when they’re not explicitly tasks). TickTick has taken almost every possible feature from its many, many competitors in the task management space and incorporated it, but without making the resulting app too bulky or awkward. That in itself is an impressive achievement.
Worth mentioning that NotePlan (my personal go-to app) also does what you want, actually: you can create start dates by putting subtasks under main tasks (or headers, depending on what you prefer). It also does both kinds of tags and smart searches. Plus it’s got a lovely and very responsive developer who’s devoted to his user base!
Cheers!

That kind of puts the brakes on TickTick as I deal with personal information so Chinese and Russian based apps are not an option.
