Hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep productive YouTube channel Francesco here and in today's video
We're taking another look at ticktick now. This is an application
We normally recommend here on key productive for its abilities to scale too
Many to-do list applications users needs and it's similar to todoist
But we normally recommend it for those dying to weave their calendar
Into their to-do lists experience
Now some people use this application above tools like to duyst and in today's feature
We'll explore their features pros and cons that make it so special
And a give it an edge on applications like to do it
This month here in july 2019 here on key productive
We are sponsored by Monday

But thanks again to Monday comm for sponsoring this month here on keep productive. Ok guys
So here we are with tick tick and I wanted to go through the pros side of stuff first of the application
I'll be using the Mac version for this video today
But as you can imagine the web version is very similar and let's talk about the first Pro which is the Kanban experience
This is something that's available through desktop and web
So those on Windows Mac and web should be able to access this one and you - in the list section
now once you in the list section, obviously
you can revert back to the original view which is called list view and
You get their traditional sort of layout you do inside of tick tick
But if you want to go to Kanban view this should now be available
Now you can go ahead and add it to do and in this case we can add a few to dues to get us started
Okay, so as many of you know
How can bands work you can drag these between different statuses and be able to add new?
columns with new entries for example
In this case, we can add an area and even smaller part stages to each of the processes
so for example
I could actually use this as some form of content calendar
Being able to move stuff between the particular statuses that name need now inside of each of the cards
You can actually obviously rename it. But at the moment you can see it's very very basic in a sense
It's nothing compared to like so Trello
but you can still access all the relevant stuff like be able to check off a task and due dates and
priority levels even be able to add sub tasks to each of them and also add comments and
modify more information like upload attachments tasks activities and
Duplication you can even access tags as well now one thing to note
This is definitely a pro that ticktick is offered and it's something that is definitely given them an edge
against to do it because to do is to planning to launch something like this in
q4, I believe it is of
2019 but again, they still have no release date. This is just based on some of the tweets. They've been sending
Now unnaturally wants to do is add this this will obviously make it much more attractive
But as you can see the Kanban experience has been installed and ready to go inside of this tik tik experience
now moving on to the second feature that I would say is
Definitely a killer experience inside a tick tick and that is a calendar view now
You can go into calendar view if you have a premium ticktick account
And once you go in the calendar view, you can then be able to see this day week and month view
There are as you access to all of your tasks now
Obviously inside of todoist you can access for example some connection to Apple Calendar and Google
Calendar two-way native integration
However, this is built into your experience at the ticktick application and it definitely gives you a lot of customization
So for example if I wanted to move this task
I could actually move it into a specific time set using time blocking time organize some of my tasks
now if I wanted to I could go up to the top right hand corner and begin sorting based on projects and
Even smart lists at tags
And also other relevant project folders now I can show completed hide
Subtasks hide future cycles and even arrange some of my tasks
now if I see all of my lists or particularly tasks that are
Uncompleted or unassigned to certain dates
I can drag them in and this is great for being to plan your week and be able to sort in advance
now, of course
you can view the month you and the day view to make it even more attractive and
Easy to follow as well and the good news is that this is available on the majority of devices
Including the web version as well
okay, so some of the smaller things that I think definitely matter is if you were to go into any of your tasks and you
Wanted to be able to give it some form of
Completion. For example how far you've completed it to date you can see this very minor feature that allows you to complete the
Actual success or progress of a task and you can see there
20% of it has been completed now
although this being a really small future actually is a really big feature and helps many people to
Coordinate how long a task is to be completed and actually improve their success rate?
Another thing is something that is available through settings and you can use this on all of the devices
But if you go to preferences on Mac, you'll be able to find this
So if you go over to the smart list
You can actually hide and show certain lists allowing you to customize your bar a little bit more effectively
Whereas inside of ticktick and other such applications you get a fixed view so you have to see today
Tomorrow and more but in synaptic sick, you actually get the opportunity to add and remove these at your will
The next thing is the Pomodoro timer
you can enable the Pomodoro timer and it's really easy to get started with and the good thing is it should be able to
Pop up inside on the Mac version at least inside of this if burns up here allowing you to start it
It looks a lot better on web. But definitely allows you to get started using the Pomodoro experience
And this is the same with the habit tracking sign of stuff
We did a video on tactics habit tracker
But this is another good addition that they have added in the last couple of months
Now one of the final things that I definitely should note is the Preferences and the themes inside of the pro experience
You definitely get a lot more customizable frames
I particularly like the city series that they do and also the
Photography this is something I wish to do is to have more of a play with especially because Microsoft to do is doing an application
like this in terms of being able to add more attractive themes being able to use them in practice and you
Can switch between them quite easily
Now all those is a minor experience. It definitely doesn't make your account a lot more personal and really attractive
So guys obviously those were some of the experiences that are pros above applications like two duis, but when it comes to cons
there are a few that ticktick have now the first I'd say is definitely the platform now looking at the
Platform's it available on it's very similar to do it in a sense. You've got platform
Availability pretty wide and that's good because cross-platform applications are good
so the only pain in the bum I'd say is definitely
Windows because you have to be a premium user to use the windows version of it. And if you're not you get a
15-day free trial which I know of course windows development might be a little bit more expensive
But it just doesn't make much sense
I think they should definitely
improve the way that they have that application because they could definitely get a lot more Windows users whilst over it to do is say
There's no disparity between the cross-platform
Availability. The next thing is culture and whilst culture isn't necessarily important to your startup
It's definitely something that I think doest
And other such teams do a better job on and being to share their
Philosophies and also share insight into who their team is what they're working on to some extent
But although tactics do this on actual Twitter. They share a lot of their Upstate's on Twitter. They don't necessarily have this sort of
openness that other applications do now it totally depends on the company and
I think a lot of people be messaging going if they're delivering good results in terms of the experience who cares about the culture and
You're probably right but a guess sometimes that makes it a little bit more of a human
interaction with your todoist application
Now I do know that marques Brownlee the youtuber uses it so that's always good news
And I know many millions people who are using tick tick worldwide. So that's good
You're in good company, and that's a really good news now
Next up is the pricing whilst to duyst is a little bit more expensive these days. I believe it's like
$8 more expensive per year. I'll show you the figures on-screen
There are more limits to what you can do in synaptic tick free
I'll compare what they actually look like versus the likes or of todoist for example
And it's definitely something that you feel very limited on your account
But again as an active user of todoist
I find that the premium tends to be better value than the likes of tactics one
So guys I will leave all the links in description. I hope you enjoyed this one, please
Do let me know whether it helped again
it just be clear don't necessarily jump over to tic tic or or todoist per like this is just if you're
currently discussing to-do list applications in your head or
currently looking at tick tick and
You're looking to get a bit of clarity on what the pros and cons are the experience and if guys I hope you enjoyed this
