If you’re moving to Griply from another productivity tool, it can feel like starting fresh. The good news: Griply combines task management, goal planning, and habit tracking in one system. That means you can replace multiple tools with a single workflow.

Below, you’ll find side-by-side comparisons to help you translate your existing setup into Griply’s structure, plus transition tips.

Switching from Todoist

Transition tips:

• Start by recreating your most important active projects as Goals in Griply.

• Break down each Goal into Subgoals and tasks.

• Use Tags to recreate the same context-based grouping you had with Labels.

• We recommend starting fresh rather than importing everything - this is a good chance to declutter.

Switching from Things 3

Transition tips:

• Move each Area to a Life Area in Griply.

• Convert your active Projects into Goals, and use Subgoals to replace long project headings.

• Habits can replace repeating tasks that are part of ongoing routines.

• Use the Upcoming view to plan ahead with time blocks - a feature Things doesn’t connect directly to goals.

Switching from TickTick

Transition tips:

• Group related Lists into Life Areas in Griply.

• For each important List, create a corresponding Goal.

• Use Subgoals where TickTick had larger task groupings.

• Set up Tags for cross-goal contexts, then filter to batch related work.

General Migration Advice

• Avoid moving everything over, take the opportunity to start with what truly matters.

• Use your old setup as a reference, but rebuild with Griply’s Goals → Subgoals → Tasks structure.

• Remember that Habits in Griply are recurring tasks connected to long-term goals, not just a checklist.

• Explore Life Areas early, this is a unique feature that gives your planning more depth.
