TickTick is essentially a task management app with calendar features. It’s one of the most intuitive and easy-to-use apps I tested, while still maintaining the ability to perform more complex functions. With 4.8 ratings and thousands of positive reviews on both the App Store and Google Play, TickTick is one of the most beloved time management apps out there, and it’s not hard to see why.

We then spent about an hour each testing them out on an iPhone (and Macbook Pro when a desktop app was available), performing simple functions like to-do lists and time tracking.īecause there’s so much overlap in functionality - and because they all essentially do the same things - we included screenshots of the apps in action along with a basic rundown of what they’re good at. In order to find out which time management tools would become part of your routine and which would fall by the wayside, we started by creating a list of apps that market their time management tools and rank in the App Store and Google Play for topics like “Productivity.” This gave us around 40 time management apps to check out.įrom there, we pulled each app’s user ratings in both stores, cutting anything with fewer than 100 reviews or a 4.0 average rating, leaving us with around 20 apps.
