What’s new — Tickbase

1.4.6 — 3 November 2026

Tickbase in the menu bar: on a Mac the desktop app now sits in the menu bar (in the system tray on Windows and Linux). On a Mac or Windows, click the icon for Today: tick things off or add a task without opening the app. Close the window and Tickbase keeps running there, so reminders still ring and your tasks keep up with your other devices; right-click the icon for a menu with Open Tickbase and Quit. Turn it off in Settings → General. On Linux it's off until you turn it on there, and the icon's menu starts with Today. (Mac, Windows and Linux)
Show completed, in a list's ••• menu: ticked tasks stay exactly where you put them, struck through, so a list you've arranged keeps its shape as you work through it. Exporting a list asks too: done tasks kept where they were, or after the rest for a clean list.
Levelling up now brings something: eight new pictures for when Today is done, from level 5 to level 50, and the Ruby, Amethyst and Diamond app icons at levels 20, 30 and 50. Yours to keep, on any plan. The level card says what the next one brings.
Today's done picture looks the same on every device now: the day's picture in a circle, with Share under it. Tap Share for the full picture, with the date and how many things you ticked off, to share or save.
Today's done picture and "All done" now wait until the day really is done: calendar events, habits still to do and deadlines coming up all count, not just tasks.
Ticking a task or habit on a home-screen widget shows straight away, instead of a few seconds later once it had reached your other devices. (iPhone and iPad)
Refer a friend is back on iPhone and iPad, in Settings → Account: share your link, see how it's going, and earn the Bronze, Silver and Platinum app icons. (iPhone and iPad)
On an opened-out iPhone Duo or folding Android phone, the Calendar shows the month and the day you pick side by side, and the menu steps out of the way while it's open. Choose which side the day goes in Settings → Appearance. (iPhone Duo and Android foldables)
In the Calendar's month on an iPad or an opened-out phone, each day now lists its calendar events by name, then its tasks, instead of leaving a gap where the events should be. (iPad and opened-out phones)
E-mails from Tickbase now look like Tickbase: gift, purchase and invitation links are buttons, and codes stand out in a box. Mail apps that only show plain text still get the same words.
Typing a weekly resolution, like "Run 10 km a week", now sets a target the weekly steps add up to: 520 km for the year, not 521, which they could never quite reach.
Asking Siri to tick off a task no longer answers that it's already done when it isn't: it's ticked off. (iPhone and iPad)
Messages that pop up while Settings or another window is open now show in front of it, not blurred behind it. (desktop and web)
Dragging a task onto a list, a day or a section no longer highlights the text it passes over on the way. (desktop and web)
While you drag a task, holding it near the top or bottom of a long list (or the sidebar) scrolls to the rest; resting it on a closed folder opens the folder; and Escape puts it back. (desktop and web)
Menus, headings, buttons and the sidebar no longer highlight like a web page when you double-click or sweep across them. Your tasks, notes and anything you type stay selectable. (desktop and web)
Right-clicking an empty part of the desktop app no longer offers "Reload", and F5 or Ctrl/Cmd-R no longer reload the window. Text fields and selected text keep Cut, Copy and Paste. (desktop)

1.4.5 — 1 November 2026

Add several tasks at once, from a list's ••• menu: say what they're called and how many, and "Chapter 1" to "Chapter 25" are made in one go. Turn on dates and pick a finish date to have them spread evenly up to it, so you know which chapter is today's. Or keep the book as one task: *Add several…* beside a task's subtasks makes the chapters inside it.
On iPhone and Android, how much a target's + and − add (5 pages at a time, say) now has its own button in the task, "Each tick adds", so it's easy to find and change. Touching and holding + or − opens it too. (iPhone and Android)
On iPhone and Android, the description box while adding a task now grows as a long line wraps, instead of hiding the second line under the buttons.
Opening a gift or a purchase from its e-mail now shows its own window: it checks the code first (so a refunded or used one says so straight away), says what it is and when your Premium would run to, and asks before adding it to your account.
A new List widget on iPhone and Android: pick any list (or Inbox) and see its tasks on your home screen, with their dates, times and a bell where there's a reminder, and tick them off without opening the app. (iPhone and Android)
The desktop app has an Updates page in Settings: check for a new version whenever you like and install it in one click. When there's one waiting, a red dot on Settings takes you there, so there's no need to download the installer again. (desktop)
The Today widget now lists today's habits after your tasks, and you can tick them off there too (a habit you count, like glasses of water, goes up one each time). Rather keep it to tasks? Turn habits off in the widget's settings: Edit Widget on iPhone, or touch and hold it on Android. (iPhone and Android)
Ticking something off on the Today widget now drops it to the bottom, crossed out, before it goes, instead of jumping one row down. (iPhone and Android)
On Android, ticking things off on a widget works again: in the store version, the tick did nothing. (Android)
Sharing a bucket list item now says so: the invitation e-mail and the invitation in the app call it an item on your bucket list (not "a list"), and tell you it shows on your Bucket list page rather than among your lists.
Deleting the list you're looking at now takes you back to Today, instead of leaving you on a list that's gone.

1.4.4 — 30 October 2026

The iPhone app opens again on iOS 17 and 18: since 1.4.0 it closed straight away on anything older than iOS 26. (iPhone)
Hiding "Deadlines soon" for the day now says so: a short message tells you they'll show again tomorrow.
Buy Premium, Lifetime or a gift right on tickbase.app, with no account needed first. Pay with the address you sign in with and Premium is on your account straight away; a new address gets a link to add it to whichever account you like.
Select tasks and choose Subtasks to put them under another task as its subtasks. Handy after importing from Apple Reminders, which brings subtasks in as tasks of their own.
Export a list from its ••• menu: a PDF to print, a Markdown file, or plain text to paste into a message or an e-mail, with or without the tasks you've done. On the phones the list now has its own ••• menu at the top too.
When Today is done on a computer, tablet or unfolded phone, the picture is now a circle in the middle of the page instead of a card, and there are three new scenes: a misty forest, a city skyline and autumn trees.
Import from Any.do: paste a list shared from its phone app, or upload its CSV export. The guide on tickbase.app walks through it.
On iPhone and Android, add a description while you add a task: type the title, then tap the line under it. Return in the title still adds the task, so several in a row work as before.
Importing the same file again only brings in what's new: tasks already in Tickbase are left out, and the preview says how many. TickTick's latest backups now keep the day each task was done.
Becoming Premium on the web or the desktop app, or buying on tickbase.app, now comes with a little confetti.
On narrow screens, like a Galaxy Fold's cover screen or with large text, the Calendar's Month, Week and Day buttons move onto a line of their own, so Day is no longer cut off.

1.4.3 — 27 October 2026

Tick off the last thing for today and Today shows a quiet drawn picture, a different one each day, to keep or share. It never shows what your tasks were. Switch it off in Settings → General.
An empty Today has something new to say each day, and knows the difference between a list you've finished and a day with nothing on it.
Print today is now a switch in Settings → General, off unless you want it, and the sheet lists what you've already ticked off that day as well as what's left.
Opening something you added to your bucket list with Siri now shows your bucket list. (iPhone)
A week's card with four numbers on it no longer piles them up over the dates. (iPhone, Android)
Reviews and Print today saved as a PDF on an iPhone have page margins again instead of running to the edge of the paper. (iPhone)
"Still planned" at the top of Today no longer counts a task that's waiting on another or put off for later, so it clears once everything on Today is ticked off.
Moving a section shows a line where it will go, and it lands there wherever you let go: between two sections, below the last or in empty space. On a board, drag a column by its name, with a line between columns. (Web and desktop)
Moving a task works the same way: a line shows where it will go, in this section or another, and it lands there wherever you let go, even in empty space. On a board too, between cards or at the foot of a column. (Web and desktop)
On your phone, hold a task, a section's name or a board column's name, then drag it: the same line shows where it will go. The list scrolls when you reach the top or bottom, and a board moves on a column when you rest at its side. Let go without moving and you get the task's options as before. (iPhone, Android)
Deadlines now show from the start: days left on the task, "Deadlines soon" at the top of Today, and whether you're on course. You can still switch it off in Settings → General.
"Deadlines soon" at the top of Today has a × that hides it until tomorrow, on all your devices. A deadline that comes up later that day still shows.
Dragging works with a finger on a touchscreen: press and hold a task or a section's name for a moment, then move it. A quick swipe still scrolls. (Web and desktop)
A list shown as a board has Reorder too, for moving its columns and the tasks in them. (iPhone, Android)

1.4.2 — 25 October 2026

Opened out, a folding Android phone shows your list and the task you tap side by side, as on iPhone Duo; fold it shut and the task carries on full screen. (Android)
Journal. Switch it on in Settings → General and a quiet box at the foot of Today takes a few words about the day, whenever you feel like it: no streaks, no reminders. The reviews and your Year in Review read them back, and they're encrypted like your tasks.
Print today. Today as one clean sheet: what's to do with boxes to tick, the day's schedule, your habits and room for notes. The printer button in Today on the web and desktop, and at the foot of Today on a phone, as a PDF to print or share.
Deadline pace, off unless you switch it on in Settings → General: a deadline shows the days left, a task's details say whether its subtasks or target are on course for it, and the weekly review lists the deadlines your pace so far would miss.
A repeating task's deadline moves on with it when you tick it off, instead of staying behind, and a task with a deadline but no date repeats from its deadline. The task says which date its repeat counts from.
A deadline can have a time, not just a day.
The weekly and monthly review list the deadlines coming up, and the daily summary mentions a deadline that falls today.
With deadline pace on, moving a task past its deadline says so, with Undo, and the task stays marked until you move it back; Today and Next 3 days list the deadlines in the next three days that the list itself doesn't show.
Drop-down menus are readable in the dark theme on Windows; the choices showed as pale text on white. (desktop and web)
Start focus and "I'm away" from Control Center, the lock screen or the Action Button, next to Add a task (iPhone), and all three as Quick Settings tiles (Android).
When Siri hears "add … to my bucket list" as a task called "bucket list", Tickbase asks what to add and puts it on your bucket list. (iPhone)
Reorder a list by dragging: sections by their header and tasks between them on the web and desktop, and on phones from Reorder beside Add section. The first drag in a list sorted by date starts from the order you see.
Widen the sidebar and the task panel by dragging their edge, or drag the panel off the edge to open tasks as a pop-up instead. Drag a list onto a folder to file it. (Web and desktop)
A click beside a new resolution, habit, list or countdown no longer throws away what you typed. (Web and desktop)
A resolution's pace says when it will really be finished.
Fixed work sessions not being added on phones. (iPhone, Android)
Fixed every device downloading everything again the night after a deletion made offline long ago finally synced.
On iPad, an opened iPhone Duo and Android tablets and folds, resolutions and the bucket list sit two to a row instead of one card filling the screen. (iPhone, iPad, Android)
Words that ran off the edge of the screen now wrap onto the next line, from the Premium badge on your account to settings, the weekly review and statistics, especially with larger text. (iPhone, Android)

1.4.1 — 24 October 2026

Tapping a shared-list invitation on your phone opens Tickbase, ready to join, and a dot on the menu button tells you an invitation is waiting. (iPhone, Android)
When you add a widget, the picker shows what each one looks like, instead of the app icon. (Android)
Fixed going back from a bucket list item, which could keep returning to the bucket list. (iPhone, Android)
Siri understands more ways of adding progress to a resolution. (iPhone)
A calendar event leaves Today once it has ended, and the tick sound plays the moment you tick. (Desktop)

1.4.0 — 20 October 2026

Plan your New Year. Through December and January, Today asks you to plan the year's resolutions. Start from one of ours, like "Read 24 books", or in your own words, and carry over what last year left unfinished, from the Resolutions page or the end of your Year in Review.
Back on track. A resolution that has slipped offers a new plan: bigger milestones to catch up by the end date, a lower target with the same milestones, or more time. Missed milestones are cleared instead of piling up as overdue.
Bucket list. Things to do some day, with no dates and no pressure. Each item is a card with its steps inside, like a list's tasks: share one to plan it together, link a resolution to it, and tick it off when it happens. With Premium, a photo fills the card, and an item you've ticked off becomes a postcard to keep.
Siri. Add a task, tick one off the way you remember it, ask what's due today, what's next, how many tasks you finished last week or how long until a countdown, add progress to a resolution or something to your bucket list, or ask whether you did something ("did I finish the book?"), without opening Tickbase. Your tasks also show up when you search your iPhone. Two switches in Settings decide whether Siri may change your tasks and whether it may see them; locked lists stay out of it, and with strict encryption both start off. What you add reaches your other devices straight away, encrypted on your iPhone first; Siri never sees your keys. On iOS 27 with Apple Intelligence, ask in your own words, with no set phrase: "the passport one, tick it off", "make a list called Holiday and add these to it". (iPhone)
The focus timer on your lock screen. While it runs, the time left counts down on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island, with Pause and End there too. (iPhone)
An Add a task button for Control Center, the lock screen and the Action Button: one press opens the add box. (iPhone, with iOS 18)
iPhone Duo. Open it out and the menu, your list and the task you open sit side by side, the task on the right of the fold; close it and the task carries on full screen. Search is beside the tab rail, and tapping an empty part of the list closes the task. (iPhone)
Celebrating the big ones. Finishing a resolution earns 150 XP and ticking something off your bucket list 100 XP, with new badges for both. The Year in Review congratulates you on each thing you ticked off your bucket list, with the day and the words you kept with it.
Free accounts can set three resolutions a year, so next year's can be planned in December. Resolutions from earlier years are kept for everyone, and shown with Premium.
Step through the years on the Resolutions page; a new resolution goes in the year on screen.
The app opens with changes from your other devices already in it, when their notification arrived first. (iPhone)
Ticking a task on the Today widget shows the tick straight away, crosses the task out, then lets it slide away, as in the app. (iPhone)
Add progress to a resolution from its card on the Resolutions page, without opening it.
Tick this week's milestone from the Resolution widget on your home screen. (iPhone and Android)
On iPad and an opened iPhone Duo, Matrix, Statistics, Countdown, Resolutions, the bucket list and the weekly review open beside the menu instead of covering it. A button at the top of the menu puts it away so everything has the whole screen, and brings it back. (iPhone)
Arrange your countdowns. Drag a countdown to put it where you like (on a phone, touch and hold it until it lifts), or show them soonest first or newest first.
Keep reminding, more insistently. A reminder can now ring again every 30 seconds, and up to 30 more times, until you tick the task off, snooze it or stop it. However much it repeats, your other reminders still get through.
Buy Premium without an account. On iPhone and Android, Premium can be bought straight away, signed out, and works on that phone at once. Sign in or create an account whenever you like and it comes with you to your other devices.
Your calendar on the Today widget. The day's events sit among your tasks, in time order, and every row says when: an overdue task's date in red, a time, or Today. Bigger rows, and room for one more. (iPhone and Android)
Ring as an alarm. A reminder that keeps reminding can ring like an alarm clock: full screen, through silent mode and a Focus, until you stop or snooze it. Turn it on in Settings → Notifications. (iPhone on iOS 26 and later, and Android)
Keep reminding for one task. Turn on Keep reminding beside a task's reminders, for the ones you can't miss, while the rest ring once.
Remind me before each calendar's events, my way. Choose for each calendar how long before its events to remind you, from when it starts to a day before, or not at all. Your phone's own calendars can now remind you too. (iPhone and Android; subscribed calendars on every device)
Once you've added a few tasks, the add box stops giving examples and simply asks what you'd like to do today.
Ticking off a task from a list kept on one device, on the Today widget, now leaves it to the app on that device. Before, the tick was sent to your account, encrypted. (iPhone)
A Countdown widget keeps the countdown it shows when you add more countdowns. (iPhone and Android)
Tap a resolution's or a habit's icon to choose another: the icons open right under it. (iPhone and Android)

1.3.0 — 16 October 2026

Locks. Lock Tickbase with Face ID or a passcode, or lock only the lists that need it, with the same lock or a passcode of their own. A locked list stays out of every view, search, widget and calendar until you open it, and its reminders can ring without saying what is due. A new list can also be kept on one device only, never synced.
Later, and a someday shelf. Put a task off until tomorrow, next week, in three weeks or a day you pick, and it stays out of your days, the Inbox and reminders until it comes back by itself. Or put it on the shelf for someday. Both live on the new Someday list.
What we hold about you. In Settings (Data on the web and desktop, About on the phones), see everything our server keeps about your account, read from the database as you open it: your account and plan, how many encrypted records of each kind, your signed-in devices and phones, who is in your shared lists. Then what we don't read.
Weekly and monthly reviews say how your estimates compare with the time tasks really took, and name the ones that ran furthest over. A task that runs over its estimate says by how much.
The phone's review says how often a task was postponed in your language, not always English. (iPhone and Android)
A calendar subscription can remind you before each of its events: Settings → Calendar → Before each calendar event, on every device. On the web and desktop, so can the calendars your phones share.
A phone can share the calendars it shows with your other devices, so your iCloud or Google appointments appear on the web and desktop too: Settings → Calendar → Share with my other devices. Encrypted end to end, like your tasks. (iPhone and Android share; every device shows)
My tasks in a calendar. On the phone, Settings → Calendar → Show my tasks in a calendar writes your dated tasks into a calendar you pick. Pick one from your Google or iCloud account and they appear in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar everywhere; the phone writes it, nothing goes through our servers. (iPhone and Android)
Add tasks by e-mail. Every Premium account can have a private address of its own: forward or write to it and the subject becomes a task, the body its notes, and attachments come along. Mail is sealed for your devices the moment it arrives; we don't read it, and it is deleted once your device has collected it. Settings → Integrations.
Home-screen widgets. Today's tasks on your home screen, ticked off without opening the app; today's habits, ticked off the same way; a ring for a resolution with where your pace lands; and a countdown, with its photo behind the days. Settings → Integrations → Widgets explains each. (iPhone and Android)
The lock screen can show how many tasks are left today and what is next, and how many of today's habits are done. (iPhone)
Tapping a task reminder opens a small card at the bottom of the screen instead of the whole task: its name and the reminder, with the tick where your thumb is, Snooze, and Details for the rest. (iPhone and Android)
A task's details pane is wider, and its date picker always fits in the window. (web and desktop)
Resolutions all week. Each running resolution has a card at the top of Today every day, with this week's milestone and your pace, instead of appearing only on the day it is due. Not counted as a task. Off for all of them in Settings → General, or for one in its own settings.
Settings are easier to read on the web and desktop: each setting on a row of its own, and Notifications and Calendar have pages of their own instead of sharing General, like the phones.
A reminder chimes even while Tickbase is the app in front. (desktop)
Click a task, then Shift-click another, and everything between is selected, across Overdue and Today too. Switching list clears the selection. (web and desktop)

1.2.0 — 16 October 2026

A new version of the desktop app is easier to spot: the update message stays until you use it, and says "Downloading…" while it works. (desktop)
A reminder you postpone or remove on one device no longer rings on your phone anyway.
A habit ticked just as you leave the app is counted, like a task. (iPhone and Android)
A task with a list, a time, a deadline, a session and tags keeps its name readable in the row. (web and desktop)
Deleting your account also ends its Sign in with Apple connection, so Tickbase leaves the list of apps in your Apple Account.
Changing your encryption settings now takes the device's own copy of your key, and turning protection down asks you to sign in again first. Older versions of the app can no longer change these settings; update to change them.
A task's date and reminder always sit at the right of its name on the phone, and its list, tags and other details go on a line underneath, so nothing is cut short. (iPhone and Android)
Tick side. Settings → Theme (Appearance on the phone) → Tick side puts the tick on the left or the right of every row, tasks and habits alike. Classic keeps things as they were.
Typing ~ or ! in the add box offers your lists and the priorities, as # already did for tags, so a task can be filed without leaving the keyboard. (web and desktop)
Cards on a board show the whole task name, with its tags and date beneath. (web and desktop)
A task can wait for another: “Send the invoice” after “Finish the design”. It stays out of Today, the calendar and reminders until the first is ticked, then turns up with its own date.
A repeating task shows how often it is really done on time, and offers a repeat that fits when “every Monday” is really every ten days.
Your week or month as a card: a picture of what you got done, to share or keep, drawn on your device with numbers only.
Each resolution says how far ahead or behind you are in days, and where your pace lands: when you finish, or how far short you would fall. A note on the 1st sums them all up.
Going away? Say until when, and Tickbase goes quiet on every device: no reminders, no morning summary, and the tasks due while you are gone can move on with you. Streaks carry over.
Type a resolution the way you'd say it, such as "Read 12 books" or "Run 10 km a week", and the target, unit, milestones and icon fill themselves in.
A resolution's milestone can come round every week, fortnight or month. Small ones choose for themselves: 12 books a year is one a month, not one a week and done by March.
A task's right-click menu always fits in the window, so every list shows under Move to list, however many you have. (web and desktop)
The desktop app opens at the size and place you left it, and opens wide enough the first time to show a task's details beside the list. (desktop)

1.1.0 — 29 September 2026

Tickbase on iPhone and Android. The phone apps join the web and desktop: your tasks, lists and habits, synced and encrypted, with reminders that ring even when the app is closed.

Reminders set anywhere ring on your phone. Add a reminder on the web or desktop and your phone is woken in the background to pick it up, so it rings on time without you opening Tickbase. The morning brief counts what you did elsewhere too. (iPhone and Android)
Done and Snooze on reminders. Complete a task or snooze its reminder straight from the notification, without opening Tickbase. Keep reminding can now repeat every minute until you act on it, and on iPhone reminders get through a Focus. (iPhone and Android)
Reminders on the minute on Android. Tickbase asks for Android's Alarms & reminders permission, without which reminders could arrive minutes late. (Android)
Your phone says when it can't update in the background. If Background App Refresh is off (iPhone) or Tickbase is restricted (Android), reminders you set on another device can't reach it. Today says so and shows how to fix it. (iPhone and Android)
Made for your phone. Your phone's own calendars beside your tasks, import straight from Apple Reminders on iPhone, your choice of tabs and swipes, a sound when you tick something off, and a number on the app icon. (iPhone and Android)
Premium in the app. The yearly plan and, until 31 March 2027, Lifetime, from Settings → Premium, with Restore purchases. (iPhone and Android)

1.0.2 — 28 September 2026

Review PDFs are saved where you choose. On a Mac, choosing PDF in the desktop app asks where to save the file and writes it there, instead of opening the review in your browser. (Mac desktop)
A tidier Give Premium. The gift form in Settings → Account has a label on every field, the advice next to the field it is about, and a Buy button you can see. (Web and desktop)
Your profile picture shows again in the desktop app. (Desktop)
A gifted year now runs to the same date a year later, leap years included.

1.0.1 — 27 September 2026

Tickbase 1.0.1. Three days after launch: work sessions, attachments, a review you can export and share, a task screen that says what every button is, Lifetime, and Premium as a gift.

Planning and tasks

Work sessions. One task, several blocks on the calendar. A task that takes more than one sitting gets a session for each: Tuesday 4:30–6:00, Thursday 6–7. Every block opens the same task, the task stays open until it is done, past sessions stay on the calendar as the record of when you worked, and a block you worked through shows as worked. The task's reminders fire before each block, and Settings → Notifications → Before each work session adds one more, ten minutes before by default, even on a task with no reminders of its own. Part of Premium, with the week and day views.
Attachments. Put files on a task — up to 10 per task, 20 MB each — encrypted on your device before upload like everything else, with 10 GB of storage per account. Files on a shared list's tasks can be added and opened by everyone in the list. Settings → Storage shows what is in use, which tasks hold the most, and downloads every attachment at once. Part of Premium; the trial includes 1 GB.
Sections and a board. Split a list into sections and show it as rows or as a Kanban board, a column per section. Drag cards between columns; each column has its own add box. In a shared list, everyone sees the same sections.
Formatted notes. Markdown in a task's notes (headings, lists, checklists, quotes, code and links) shows formatted, and checklist boxes tick where they are. The note is kept exactly as typed.
Every detail on a task says what it is. A task's details are grouped into When and Details, and on a free account the ones Premium would unlock sit together, greyed, in a Premium group at the end.
Deleting a task says what it means. The confirmation and the toast say a deleted task leaves every review and statistic too, and Undo is offered everywhere, including the review's own delete buttons.

The weekly and monthly review

Export a review. Premium saves any weekly or monthly review as a Markdown file or a PDF with the Tickbase mark in the corner.
A weekly report you can share. Settings → Review → Exported review chooses what an exported review includes: each section on or off, the XP number, and your name top right for a report handed to someone else. The choice follows your account.
The review shows what you finished, and what moved. Each completed task is listed with the day, the time spent on it, your estimate and its deadline, when you had typed them in. A new "Progress made" section shows every target and resolution that gained ground that week, and where it stands now.
The weekly review lets you leave. Opening the review and going back now counts as having done it, so it stops being offered on every device until the next one.
Export the Year in Review. Premium saves a year's look back as a Markdown file or a PDF the same way, with the big numbers, the story cards, your resolutions and where the work went; nothing is switched off, only the name top right follows your review export setting.

Look and feel

Any colour as your accent. Settings → Theme gains a colour picker beside the presets, so buttons, links and ticks can be exactly the colour you want. Light mode paints it as chosen; dark mode lifts a dark pick so it still reads. Premium, like the other accents, and it follows your account with the rest of your look.
True black. A switch under the appearance choice puts dark mode on a pure black page for OLED screens. Travels with your theme and accent under Sync appearance.
Countdown photos. Put your own photo behind a countdown. It is shrunk and encrypted on your device before upload, like a note.

Premium and gifts

Lifetime. Until 31 March 2027, pay once instead of every year: $50 for Premium for as long as Tickbase exists, from Settings → Account. A yearly subscription on the web stops renewing by itself when you switch, so you are never charged for both.
Give Premium as a gift. Buy a year of Premium ($12) or, until 31 March 2027, Lifetime ($50) for someone else, up to ten at a time, from Settings → Account → Give Premium on the web or the desktop app. Each gift is a code that never expires: we e-mail it to them, or to you to print in a card or pass on. They redeem it with a free account from the link in the e-mail, or by typing the code in Settings, and a gifted year starts when anything they already have runs out. (Web and desktop)
A message with your gift. Add a note of up to 500 characters for a birthday, a new job or a thank-you. It goes in their e-mail, and Tickbase opens with it when they redeem the gift. The message is kept encrypted and never goes to the payment provider. (Web and desktop)
A gift never runs out unannounced. Someone given a year hears from us 30 days and 7 days before it ends, and subscribing during the gift keeps what is left of it: the paid year starts when the gift ends. How gifting works, from buying to redeeming, is in the guide.

Fixes

The web app's first download is smaller, so it opens faster.
Many smaller fixes: undo now syncs everywhere, work sessions survive undoing a repeating task, and progress no longer counts twice across two devices.

1.0.0 — 22 September 2026

Tickbase is here. Everything you need to get things done, on the web and desktop, with no AI and one tiny price. Everything below is in this first version.

Tasks

Add a task in plain English. Type "Call mum tomorrow at 5pm #family ~Personal !high every week" and the date, time, repeat, list, tag and priority come out of it as chips you can tap to change. Press N to jump to the box.
Due dates and times, time zones on times, repeats from daily to yearly, and a deadline kept separate from the day you plan to do it.
Reminders: one per task on Free, as many as you like on Premium; a default for new tasks; keep reminding until it is done; a daily summary of how the day looks; and a switch to quiet one device while the others still ring.
Subtasks with their own progress, notes, four priorities, tags, a duration that gives a task real space on the calendar, and a target — a number on a task with a bar and a pace against its due date. Ticking a task with a target adds progress; the tick that reaches it completes it.
Today reads overdue first, then today, then the habits still to do, with "Postpone all to today" for the overdue ones, countdown pills and an optional "Week 38" note at the start of your week. Undo when you tick something off.
Smart lists — Inbox, Today, Tomorrow, Next 3 days, Next 7 days, All, Completed — and a Completed view you can filter by range, list and tag.
Drag a task to reorder it inside a list, or onto a list in the sidebar to move it there. Select several and act on them at once.
Search everything, with keyboard shortcuts on the web and desktop.

Lists, folders, filters and tags

Colour-coded lists (five on Free, unlimited on Premium), duplicated as templates on the web and desktop, with a manual or smart order each.
Folders group your lists in the sidebar and the drawer once you have more than a handful; a closed folder keeps its count. A folder is only a grouping, so a shared list can sit in a different folder for each member. Synced.
Saved filters: a search written down as rules — words, tags (any or all of them), priorities, lists, a date window or a range, open or completed — kept as a list of its own with a count. A task is in it for as long as it matches. Save the search you are looking at with a tap. Synced.
Tags with colours, renamed everywhere at once.

Calendar

Month, week and day views with drag and drop: onto a day to schedule, back to Unscheduled, onto an hour to give it a time. A planner drawer of what still needs a slot. The month view is free; the week and day views, durations and the planner are part of Premium.
Your calendar beside your tasks. The day's appointments sit in Today and on the Calendar at their hour, from any calendar's private iCal link (iCloud, Google, Exchange, the shared family one). An event is not a task: open it for where and when, and dismiss it for the day. Subscription links and dismissals follow your account, encrypted like your settings; the events themselves are read fresh on each device and never uploaded.
Export dated tasks and countdowns as a calendar file (.ics).

Habits, countdowns, resolutions and focus

Habits from a library of presets or your own, at any frequency, with streaks, a 12-week heatmap and reminders. Three on Free, unlimited on Premium.
Countdowns with days until and days since; yearly ones roll forward on their own.
Resolutions: a big goal for the year — 1,200 chapters, 500 km, 24 books — broken into weekly milestones that appear in your list by themselves, with the page telling you whether you are ahead or behind pace.
Focus timer: Pomodoro intervals attached to any task, white, pink or brown noise while it runs, strict mode so an interval cannot be abandoned, and where the time went by task, list, tag, day and week. Premium keeps the full history.

Reviews and statistics

A weekly review at a time you choose — what you finished, habits, focus time, then a guided tidy-up of anything overdue or undated — and a monthly one on the same footing. Dismiss it on one device and it stays dismissed on all of them; Premium scrolls back through every earlier one.
Year in review from 1 December: your busiest month, your power day, your longest streak, the task you repeated most, how your resolutions ended and the level you reached.
Statistics of completions and streaks (last 7 days on Free, any range on Premium), the Eisenhower matrix, Markdown summary reports for any period, and achievements with levels — plus Premium and Founder badges.

Sharing

Shared lists, encrypted end to end. Share a list from its menu on every platform: invite by e-mail (someone without an account is told where to sign in), let each person edit or only view, and see who added a task by their picture. Every shared list has a key of its own, handed to each member directly; our servers never see what is in it. Only the person sharing needs Premium: four free members per list, Premium members unlimited, and a list shared with you never counts towards your own limits.
Assignees and comments: give a task to someone (they are told when it lands), filter a list to what is assigned to you, and talk about a task under it. An activity feed per list shows everything that happened, newest first, with what is new since you last looked marked.

Account, sync and encryption

Works without an account. Sign in with Google, Apple or an e-mail code — no passwords — to back up and sync for free between the web and desktop.
Everything is encrypted on your device before it leaves; our database holds only ciphertext. Optional Strict mode adds a passphrase only you know. Sync merges field by field, so two devices editing the same task offline both keep their change.
Sign out other devices at once from Settings → Account. Staying signed in lasts 30 days of not opening the app.
Import from TickTick, Todoist, Things, Apple Reminders and Microsoft To Do; export everything as JSON or CSV any time — the same file on every platform, including every habit tick, focus session and resolution.
If Tickbase ever breaks badly enough to take the screen down, you get a screen saying so, with your tasks still safe on the device, a button to reload, and a button to download a copy of everything first.

Look and feel

Light and dark, following your system or set by hand; accent themes and a matching app icon on every platform, gold for Founders; appearance synced across devices if you want it.
Refer a friend. Every account has a code and a link (Settings → Account). A friend who signs up with it gets a 28-day trial instead of 14. You earn a credit when they are still here a week later and five when they go Premium, and credits unlock app icons that cannot be bought: Bronze, Silver and Platinum. Sapphire and Emerald mark a year and three years with Tickbase. Each comes with an achievement, and none is ever taken back.
Dates and times follow your device, or Settings → General pins day-first or month-first and a 12- or 24-hour clock; weeks start on the day you say.

Premium is $12 a year, flat, with a 14-day trial that takes no payment details. Free is a complete to-do list with sync and encryption, free for good, on every device; Premium is for planning by the hour, keeping your history, sharing lists and making the app yours.
