Switching from Todoist,
TickTick, or Things 3?
TapTidy is an offline-first, privacy-first task manager for web and Android. It adds end-to-end encryption (beta), a built-in CalDAV server, Pomodoro timer, and habit tracking — features the market leaders don't offer together.
Switching from Todoist?
Todoist raised prices to $60/year in December 2025 and still lacks offline-first architecture, E2E encryption, a CalDAV server, Pomodoro, and habit tracking. TapTidy has all five and starts free. A built-in Todoist import wizard moves your projects and tasks in minutes.

Both TapTidy and TickTick have Pomodoro and habit tracking. TapTidy adds what TickTick doesn't: end-to-end encryption (beta), a CalDAV server, offline-first architecture, and a zero-telemetry option for complete privacy. TickTick is cheaper ($35.99/yr) and has an iOS app TapTidy doesn't have yet.

Things 3 is beautifully designed but Apple-only — no Android, no web app, no free tier, proprietary CloudKit sync. TapTidy works on web and Android with open CalDAV sync, a free tier, and E2E encryption (beta). The main trade-off: Things 3 has superior design polish and a one-time purchase model.

Microsoft To-Do is free but tightly coupled to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, has no E2E encryption, no CalDAV server, no offline-first sync, and no Pomodoro or habit tracking. TapTidy works independently of any Microsoft account and adds all four. Both have a free tier.
