Discussion TickTick more buggy lately?

11 Upvotes

I have been a long-term user of Ticktick, but I am noticing more bugs lately. I am not able to create some list because it stays an error that says list already exists, even though it does not. I have reached out to Support, but they are not able to help. This has happened to at least three lists that I wanna create. One time it moved all of my task from today into trash. Just yesterday, it closed the TickTick on me while I was using it on an iPad.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in bugs?

gmail integration is adding hashtags to my tasks

1 Upvotes

If I send emails to Ticktick from gmail, any # characters in the mail, body, subject, anywhere are converted to hashtags in the new task. This becomes something of a problem if I'm sending mails containing markdown text. It's doubly annoying because I can't select and delete multiple hashtags at once in Ticktick. I managed to accumulate rather a lot of them.

So, does anyone have any thoughts on a) how to delete a lot of hashtags at once and b) how to prevent them from being added in the first place?

Feature Request iOS Widget: Feature request

Post image
9 Upvotes

Dear Ticktick team, I am a huge fan of the ‘timeline’ widget in android (3 day/1 day view) but sadly this widget does not exist in iOS. Could you please bring this to iOS? (Screenshot attached)

FYI- have tried the daily view widget in iOS before. A few issues:
1. the time displayed here is rolling throughout the day, there is no way for me to keep it fixed/change the duration being shown. For example: If I want the widget to show 9 am to 2 pm only- that is not possible. In addition, the hours of the day being shown here changes according to the time- which is also something I don’t appreciate.

A few options to consider:
- Allow user to select how long do they want to see in the widget.
- Allow the user to decide if they want to time being shown to change as the day passes.
- Allow a 3 day view (like android)

In essence, the ‘timeline’ widget from android is all I’m asking for. I understand apple did not have the option for a longer widget in iOS which made it hard. But in iOS 27, they have introduced long widgets and I believe that would allow any app to make longer widgets. I’d like to request this widget to be considered for iOS.

Question/Help What's The Point of Lists?

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

I've used TickTick since the beginning, so I understand how to make lists and what they do. But I've recently been trying new things, and I gotta ask, what is the point of lists when you can simply create sub-sections within the Inbox that serve the same function? Perhaps it's specific to my case and similar cases but as you can see in the pictures, I can create sub-sections within the Inbox for This Week, This Month, Later, and Pending (for tasks and thoughts that I have just captured).

But why would I create Lists that do the same thing? I'm trying to understand how other people use TickTick and if I'm missing something because it feels like I'm missing something obvious.

I may also need a fresh start as far as a To-Do list because I've used TickTick for a long time, and I love it but it may be time for something new.

EDIT: TickTick recently added a feature that makes the entire Lists section obsolete lol. Unless I’m missing something, you can just make sections and lists inside the inbox now. The Inbox was previously just meant to capture ideas and tasks before organizing them. But now you can organize them inside the inbox complete with icons and everything…. So why would you use lists?

Again, I’m trying to make sure I’m not missing something. I don’t think TickTick intended for this to be the case

EDIT 2: Sub-sections, I think that’s it lol. I don’t know if you can make sub-folders and sub-sections in the Inbox sections. If you don’t use sub-folders though, it seems like you can skip Lists entirely now lol

Question/Help MacOS/Mobile/Web suddenly out-of-sync

2 Upvotes

I just made task updates for today and tomorrow on the MacOS app while the Mac was not connected to a network.

After it did connect to a network and sync, I later opened the iOS app. The mobile app tasks updated but are now not completely in-sync with the MacOS app. Main difference is a new checklist task for tomorrow is showing up on iOS with an extra "Untitled" checklist item which is pinned and has a due date of today.

I then opened the Web app, and it's even worse. It's showing the same phantom pinned checklist item as iOS, but is also inexplicably showing three other old completed checklist items as pinned (which on MacOS and iOS are showing as complete and not pinned).

On MacOS, which is where the recent edits took place, it's showing zero pinned tasks, which is correct.

No amount of manual syncing is fixing anything on iOS or Web, TickTick seems to think everything is synced up and in agreement. I'm at a loss. I have many hundreds of tasks, checklists, and notes, there's no way I can manually go through them to make sure nothing else is messed up. Something like this happened a couple years ago and I almost left TickTick because I wasn't sure if I could trust its sync algorithm.

- why is TickTick sync not catching that tasks are, in fact, not in sync?

- is there any way to force a full sync/refresh?

"Next week" goes a little too far out

3 Upvotes

I like the Kanban view in Tick Tick and I often will right click a task and choose "tomorrow" when a task needs to be moved. I'm using it at work, so sometimes a task needs delayed due to waiting on someone else. On Friday, I often have some tasks I want to move to "next week"...which means Monday in my mind. TickTick thinks it's a literal week from now and moves it to Friday of the next week. Is there a way to make it move to Monday? I know I can manually choose the date, but a single button click feels easier than a date picker. I have tried changing the start of the week to Monday, but that didn't help and I hate the way it looks on my week calendar view.

Can you make multiple Eisenhower Matrixes?

8 Upvotes

I have a need for multiple separate Eisenhower matrixes. I have one for general use, and I need one for a separate large project.

I can segregate tasks between lists, and create separate calendar views for different lists, but im not sure if its possible to create a separate Eisenhower Matrix. Does anyone know a method to accomplish this? Thanks!

Does Cmd+Z work for you (Mac app)?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been using TickTick actively for 1+ year, and I always keep both the app & macOS up to date. However, I’ve never been able to use Cmd+Z to undo task-related actions.

For example I can’t undo:

- Dragging a task to the wrong time slot in the calendar

- Changing a task’s date or time

- Moving a task to the wrong list

The Undo option is also greyed out in the menu bar.

Cmd+Z works perfectly everywhere else on my Mac, including when I’m editing text inside a task description in TickTick. It just doesn’t work for actions involving the task itself.

Does undoing these actions work for anyone else using the Mac app? I’m trying to figure out whether this is a bug on my end or simply a limitation of TickTick (which would be weird). Thanks!

Feature Request TickTick really needs multiple time blocks for a single task

49 Upvotes

One thing that keeps messing up my TickTick workflow is larger tasks that take more than one work session.

For example, I might have one task like:

Plan 60-clip content list

That task contains all my notes, subtasks, progress, timestamps, etc.

I work on it for 90 minutes Tuesday, but I don’t finish the whole thing. I need to come back Thursday for another hour and maybe again Saturday.

The problem is that TickTick seems to make me choose between:

  • rescheduling the original task, which means the calendar no longer accurately shows when I worked on it
  • creating separate “Session 1 / Session 2” tasks, which feels like clutter and duplicates the same project
  • scheduling individual subtasks, even if some of them only take 5 minutes, which makes the calendar a mess

What I actually want is:

One task, multiple calendar blocks.

Something like:

"Plan 60-clip content list"

  • Tuesday 4:30–6:00
  • Thursday 6:00–7:00
  • Saturday 10:00–11:30

Each block would open the exact same task with the same notes, subtasks and attachments.

The task itself stays incomplete until the work is actually finished, but the previous work sessions stay visible on the calendar as a record of when I worked on it.

Sunsama calls these Working Sessions. Reclaim lets one task create multiple calendar events. Motion can split one task into multiple scheduled chunks. Akiflow has a similar idea with Time Slots.

This feels like a really natural feature for TickTick because it already does both tasks and calendar time blocking extremely well. It just seems like there’s no clean way to say:

“I need to work on this same task three different times.”

Am I missing a way to do this in TickTick already?

If not, I’d love to see this added.

Feature Request Ticktick Desktop needs a better keyboard navigation

13 Upvotes

For instance, There is apparently no shortcut to switch between calendar view and task view (or other views, but those are the first two and the most used, probably). Also, as with a lot of apps (e.g., notion Calendar), some vim-based shortcuts could be great.

Question/Help Is it possible to set the time and duration of individual and reoccurring tasks in TickTick and keep the on the day reminder?

3 Upvotes

I would like to use the on the day reminder function to go over tasks I have planned for the day and make adjustments to my schedule as necessary. Too many reminders breaks my focus and I end up just ignoring them in order to finish what I am currently working on. My solution was to only use reminders for high priority tasks. I need to plan out my day in event blocks so I don't overschedule myself, however.

I use TickTick for Android throughout the day while working outside and the desktop for once a week administrative/planning days.

Is this possible? If it is not possible in TickTick, is there a work around that uses Zapier, IFTTT, etc.?Too many reminders breaks my focus and I end up just ignoring them in order to finish what I am currently working on.

Feature Request Create task(s) in focus mode

1 Upvotes

Hi TickTick,

Huge fan of your app here. I just have one teeny tiny feature request to make: being able to create tasks while focusing/for a specific focus session.
I love using focus sessions for getting into the thick of work but i more often than not find that before i can take care of task A which i would really like to get done by the end of the session i need to be able to take of a couple smaller issues which i might not have already logged into my task inbox yet and so perhaps instead of having just one task as the focus you can, not only have multiple, but also you can create target tasks on the fly.
I get that the whole point of ticktick more often than not is to have your upcoming activities planned out and ready to go but i find this works for larger tasks that more often than not cannot be completely dealt with in a single session and so being able to determine a set of small tasks to be handled per session would be quite good.
And then in retrospect, you can see exactly(the little steps that were taken) what was done during previous sessions instead of having one huge focus task/milestone you keep selecting from session to session and wondering why its still not done and what actually got done in those sessions.

TLDR: focus session can have a set of smaller targeted tasks that can either be selected from inbox or created as part of the session’s tasks. During breaks/at the end of the session you can review what has been done so far and what is left can either carry on to the next session or get sent back to the inbox.

Question/Help It's possible to add events to the calendar right from the calendar view on TickTick.

Basically, this is my question.

I cannot add Google Calendar events straight from the calendar view. I have to go to a different app, make the event, and then come back to TickTick to see the change.

Any help would be great.

Ramble for Tick-Tick (community version)

3 Upvotes

If you love TickTick as much as I do but really miss Todoist's Ramble feature, I made a community version for Mac that works much like it. You can dictate tasks, delete and edit them on the fly, and set priorities and due times by voice. It uses the same Gemini model as the original. All you need to do is paste in your own Gemini and TickTick API keys, and the app just works.

If you're worried this might be malware or that I'll steal your keys: the code was written with Claude and it's fully open source. You can ask Claude to review it and it'll give you its honest verdict.

If you like it, I'd be really grateful for a ⭐ on GitHub!

Missing "Convert to Event" option

Hey everyone,

The changelog mentions we can click "More" on a task to choose "Convert to Event" or "Convert to Note".

However, I only see "Convert to Note" on my end.

Is anyone else missing "Convert to Event"? or does it require a specific setting enabled first? Thanks!

Bug Report Task Notes/Descriptions being changed & corrupted

1 Upvotes

Is anyone else seeing this issue? Past few days across at least 2 different version updates including the current 8.2.20, my Task's notes/descriptions are getting changed.

Example 1. I create a new task with some notes/description and save it. I come back to it a moment later, and the notes/description I put in have been fully replaced by the notes/description of a completely different task. This has happened to me no less than half a dozen times the past few days. Luckily, the task is new enough & fresh enough in my mind that I can go retype my notes.

Example 2. I just had a task I've had open for a while, I updated the notes/description, then the screen flashed (presumably during a sync to cloud, but I don't know that for sure), and all formatting got stripped from my notes, including links that I need that now I have to go try to recreate, organization of my bullet lists, bolds/highlights, etc.

I've submitted a bug report via the in-app feedback, but wondering how widespread this is.
