Compare · TickTick
F4Goals vs TickTick: an honest comparison.
TickTick is a feature-rich all-in-one: tasks, calendar, habits, a focus timer. F4Goals does far less, on purpose, and puts partial progress at the centre.
No card · Web + Android
The short version
Choose TickTick if you want a single app for reminders, a calendar view, habit tracking and a Pomodoro-style focus timer, across most platforms. It is built to be an all-in-one planner.
Choose F4Goals if you want something narrower: a task tree where every task has a progress percentage and each project shows the average. It is a free, single-purpose tool for tracking how far long work has got.
Where TickTick is the better choice
Due dates, reminders and recurring tasks. F4Goals has none of these.
Calendar view and scheduling. F4Goals has no calendar.
Habits and a focus timer built into the same app.
Tags, search and shared lists.
Platforms. TickTick covers web, desktop and both mobile platforms; F4Goals is web and Android.

Where F4Goals is the better choice
A real progress value on every task, set by sliding, rather than a checkbox.
A project percentage that averages tasks at every depth of subtasks.
A smaller surface. With fewer features there is less to set up and less to ignore.
Free throughout, with no premium tier gating features.
Different ideas of “progress”
TickTick tracks completion: a task is done or not, and checklists show how many items are ticked. That serves a day full of small tasks very well, and the habit tracker and timer add other views of effort.
F4Goals tracks how far through a task you are. If your work is long, such as a report, a build or a thesis, you can see in percent how much is behind you without breaking it into dozens of tickable pieces.
Which should you try first?
If you want one app to run your whole day, start with TickTick. If you already have a calendar and reminders and what is missing is a clear view of long projects, try F4Goals alongside it. It is free and takes a minute to start.
Feature lists change. This reflects each product’s publicly documented features as we understand them in October 2026, so check TickTick’s own site before you decide.
Questions
