Irkless or TickTick?
TickTick does a lot in one app. Irkless does less, on purpose, so the list you look at every day is quieter and easier to trust.
Moving takes minutes. Copy your TickTick tasks, paste them into an Irkless list, and each line becomes a task. Indented lines become subtasks. How moving works
What you gain
A quieter list
Today shows what you've picked, grouped by area. Everything else waits in its place.
What you'd give up
- Habits, a focus timer and the calendar views.
- Android and Windows apps, and a free plan. Irkless is 30 days free, then $6 a month.
Stay with TickTick if the habits, timer or calendar are why you use it, or you need Android.

Moving from TickTick
- Get your TickTick tasks out as plain text, one task per line.
- In Irkless, open a project or the Inbox and paste. Each line becomes a task, and a line indented under another becomes its subtask.
- Sort them at your own pace: into projects, Today, Someday or Waiting For.
