I made the Olitick app.

I’ve tried them all. Notion, Todoist, Things, plain text files, sticky notes, the back of my hand. And every time I end up back at the same place: either the app is too complex, and I spend more time organising my tasks than actually doing them, or it’s too bare-bones, and I have to work around it.

So I built OliTick. Not because the world needed another to-do app — but because I needed this to-do app.

The premise is simple: a clean, focused interface that gets out of your way. No dashboards, no nested projects, no premium tiers hiding basic features. Just your tasks, clearly laid out, ready to be ticked off.

I spent a lot of time on how it looks and feels. I wanted it to be the kind of app where opening it actually makes you feel like you’ve got things under control — not one that quietly stresses you out. Generous whitespace, deliberate typography, nothing that distracts from the task at hand.

The bit I’m most pleased with

There’s one feature I’m particularly happy with: AI Smart Labels. Type in a task, and OliTick will suggest the right label automatically. It sounds small, but in practice, it means your list stays organised without you having to think about it. The categorisation just happens, quietly, in the background.

It’s in beta — and I want your feedback

OliTick is in beta right now, which means it’s real and usable, but I’m still actively building on it. If you give it a try and something feels off — or you have an idea you’d love to see — I genuinely want to hear from you. There’s a contact page on the site, and I actually read those messages.

It’s free to use, no card required. Give it a go and let me know what you think.
