I’ve tried a few…. Notion, Todoist, Things, plain text files, sticky notes, Google Sheets, Excel spreadsheets. 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.<\/p>\n

So I built OliTick<\/a>. Not because the world needed another bloated to-do app, which is more of a project management tool than the true “List of things to do that clutter your brain”.<\/p>\n

This is the Todo List app. “I” use.<\/p>\n

The premise is simple: a clean, focused interface that gets out of your way. No deadline dates, no nested projects, no Gantt charts, no premium tiers hiding basic features. Just your tasks, clearly laid out, ready to be ticked off.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 not one that quietly stresses you out. Generous whitespace, deliberate typography, nothing that distracts from the task at hand, but still with features that are helpful.<\/p>\n

The bits I’m most pleased with<\/h2>\n

There are a couple of features that I’m particularly happy with:<\/p>\n

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 is also voice-enabled)<\/p>\n

AI Insight: Ask the AI coach to review your current selection of tasks, and it will review, prioritise and provide you with a suggested attack plan to help you get through your list. You can review and use it or simply ignore it; it is all down to you to decide.<\/p>\n

It’s in beta \u2014 and I want your feedback<\/h2>\n

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 \u2014 or you have an idea you’d love to see \u2014 I genuinely want to hear from you. There’s a contact page on the site, and I actually read those messages.<\/p>\n

It’s free to use for the basic Todo list, no card required. If you want to use the AI and advanced features like import and export of tasks, you will need a Pro account which is priced purely to help me cover the internet hosting costs.<\/p>\n

Give it a go and let me know what you think.<\/p>\n
