Tickbase

Tickbase is a calm to-do list for people who want to get things done without the noise. Type a task the way you’d say it, “Call mum tomorrow at 5pm”, and the date, time and list are set for you. No feeds, no clutter, and no AI of its own.

WORKS WITH SIRI Add a task, tick one off, or ask what’s due today, without opening the app. With Apple Intelligence, ask in your own words: “the passport one, tick it off”. Two switches decide whether Siri may change your tasks and see them, and locked lists always stay out of it.

PLAN YOUR YEAR Turn a resolution into steps: read 24 books, run 500 km. Tickbase puts a milestone in your list each week, tells you whether you’re ahead or behind, and offers a new plan when one slips. Keep a bucket list beside it: things to do some day, with their steps, shared with the people you’ll do them with.

PLAN WORK THAT TAKES MORE THAN ONE SITTING Give a big task several work sessions across your week. Each one sits on your calendar, reminds you before it starts, and records the time you actually spent.

COUNT DOWN TO WHAT MATTERS Birthdays, holidays and anniversaries, with the days to go at a glance and your own photo behind any of them.

REMINDERS THAT RING • On time, even when Tickbase is closed • Set a reminder on your laptop and it rings on your phone • Done and Snooze right on the notification • Keep reminding until you act, as often as every 30 seconds • Ring as an alarm for the ones you can’t miss, through silent mode and Focus • Reminders before your calendar’s events, with a lead time for each calendar • A morning brief of the day ahead

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO AND IPAD Open your iPhone Duo and your list sits beside the task you’re working on, one on each side of the fold. Close it and the task carries on full screen. On iPad, your views open beside the menu.

ON YOUR HOME AND LOCK SCREEN • A Today widget with your tasks and the day’s calendar events, ticked off right there • Widgets for habits, a resolution and a countdown • The focus timer on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island • An Add a task button for Control Center, the lock screen and the Action Button • Your tasks in iPhone search

EVERYTHING ELSE IN ONE PLACE • Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 days and an Inbox for everything else • Lists, folders, tags, priorities, subtasks and notes • Plan your day by the hour with day and week views • Habits with streaks, and a focus timer with white, pink or brown noise • Your phone’s calendars beside your tasks • A weekly and monthly review that shows how it went and helps you tidy up • Shared lists, with assignees and comments • Forward an e-mail to your private address and it becomes a task, attachments included
