TickTick Consolidates Features. Griply Connects Your Vision.
TickTick Consolidates Features. Griply Connects Your Vision.
If you want an all-in-one toolbox for tasks and habits, TickTick is a great choice. But if you need a cohesive system where daily actions add up to long-term progress, Griply is built for that.

The Problem: The All-in-One Trap.
TickTick promises to be an "all-in-one" app. It gives you a task list, a habit tracker, a calendar, and a Pomodoro timer. But having all the tools in one box isn't the same as having a system.
In TickTick, these features live in silos. Your "Habits" are disconnected from your "Tasks," and your "Pomo Timer" creates data that doesn't feed your "Goals." You end up with a cluttered interface full of features that don't talk to each other.
The Cohesion Gap You finish the day having tracked 4 habits and run 6 timers, but you still feel scattered. Why? Because you were busy using features, but you weren't aligned with a vision.
Griply stops the "tinkering" and starts the alignment. We don't just stack features; we connect them.

The Similarities
Task Management
This is where Griply and TickTick overlap. Fast capture, NLP, and daily lists. If you just want to check boxes and set reminders, this layer has you covered.
Inbox: Track all incoming tasks
Today: Plan your day perfectly
Upcoming: Plan next week/month
All Tasks: Filter and organize all your tasks
The Differentiator
Strategic Planning
This is where the philosophies diverge. TickTick gives you a flat list of "Habits" and "Tags." Griply gives you a hierarchy of Purpose.

TickTick relies on a flat list of tasks and tags, forcing you to hack the system to get organized. Griply is built with depth from day one.

Strategic Depth
Real life is complex. Griply lets you nest Life Area > Vision > Goal > Subgoal > Task, giving you a map, not just a list.
Success Metrics
Don't just check a box. Track a number. Set a target (e.g., "$150k Revenue") and watch your progress bar fill based on outcomes.
Goal Timeline
Use the timeline to plan Strategic Goals. Don't let your vision sit in a flat list without a deadline. Visualize exactly how your Q1 efforts unlock your Q3 results.

TickTick has been around since 2013. They win the feature war. They have a white noise player, a countdown, and numerous widgets.
We chose a different focus. Why? Because features do not change lives. A clear plan for your life does. That is why we invested in:
Goal planning with measurable outcomes
Habit systems connected to long-term intent
Timelines that show how today connects to next quarter
We are closing the feature gap fast. But TickTick will always be a toolbox for tasks; Griply is the blueprint for your life.

TickTick is notorious for its "Trust Gap." Their corporate structure is opaque, and users often struggle to get transparent support. At Griply, we are doubling down on Trust.
Personal Ambition, Not Just Tools
TickTick builds generic tools for everyone. We build a specialized system for Ambitious Achievers. Our mission is to help you pursue and achieve long-term goals.

Griply vs. TickTick: Compare Philosophy, Strategic Depth, and Product Vision
Griply vs. TickTick: Compare Philosophy, Strategic Depth, and Product Vision
| Feature | Griply | TickTick |
|---|---|---|
| Philosophy | Top-Down: Define the Vision and measurable Goals first, then execute the steps to reach them. | Bottom-Up: Focuses on "capturing everything" and organizing the pile later. |
| Strategic Depth | Deep Hierarchy: Connects daily work to a broader context: Life Area > Vision > Goal > Subgoal > Task. | Flat Architecture: Uses a simple structure of tasks, sub-tasks, and projects that can make depth difficult to manage. |
| Goal/Project Planning | Goal Timeline: Map out your yearly goals with the Gantt-style roadmap. | Simple List: Uses simple task list for projects/goals. |
| Progress Tracking | Success Metrics: Tracks progress bars based on numerical outcomes, such as revenue or specific targets (results). | Checkboxes: Success is measured by output and completion within disconnected feature silos. |
| Habit Tracking | Impact-Based: Connects habits directly to measurable long-term outcomes. | Streak-Based: Focuses on simple repetition and checking off boxes (e.g., "Read 5x"). |
| Task Capture | Catching Up Quickly: Added NLP, Quick Entry, and more coming soon. | Mature: An established leader in capture utilities with a wide array of specialized widgets. |
| Product Vision | Strategic Life Planner: Built for high-performers executing a personal strategic life plan. | Feature Volume: A "Swiss Army Knife" of disconnected tools like white noise players and countdowns. |
| Product Development | Partnership: Direct access to founders and a roadmap shaped by real-time user feedback. | Corporate: You are "User #81692" in a massive ecosystem. |

Start With A Clean Slate
Leave the “Zombie Tasks” Behind.
We intentionally don’t offer an automatic TickTick import. Most "Power User" accounts become graveyards of 5-year-old ideas and "Someday" lists. It shouldn’t be about carrying clutter forward. It should be about resetting with clarity.
How to Move to Griply:
Define what matters to you first (Vision).
Set clear, measurable goals
Bring over only active, aligned tasks.
Leave everything else behind.

Does Griply have lists and folders?
Yes, but we structure them with purpose. Instead of generic "Folders," we have Life Areas (like Health or Career). Instead of flat "Lists," we have Goals. This hierarchy ensures that every list of tasks belongs to a bigger picture, allowing you to track progress in specific areas of your life rather than just managing a pile of files.

Does Griply have Natural Language Input (NLP)?
Yes. Just like in TickTick, you can type “Review marketing budget every Friday at 4pm” and Griply will instantly set the date, time, and recurrence.

TickTick has a Habit Tracker. How is Griply different?
TickTick tracks streaks. Griply tracks impact. In TickTick, a habit is just another checkbox to tick off. In Griply, habits are linked to Goals. You can see exactly how your daily "Reading Habit" contributes to your "Become a Thought Leader" goal. We focus on the outcome, not just the repetition.

Does Griply have a Pomodoro Timer?
It is a highly requested feature, and it is making its way to the top of our list. However, we don't have an ETA just yet. Why? Because we refuse to build a generic timer. When we build it, it will be linked to your Goals, allowing you to compare "Time Spent" vs. "Time Estimated." Until we can ship that deep integration, we recommend using a dedicated Pomodoro app alongside Griply.
