What is TickTick
TickTick (Chinese name 滴答清单, “Dida365”) is a task management app combining to-do lists, calendars, and reminders. The official story says the team started with GTasks, an Android app that synced with Google Tasks, then built and refined TickTick “for more than a decade,” with tens of millions of users (official About page). The version for mainland China is called Dida365 (滴答清单), with its site at dida365.com operated by Hangzhou Suibiji Network Technology Co., Ltd.; the international version is TickTick at ticktick.com.

Discussion in the show
Weekly #004’s chapter “To-Do、记忆与可见的结果” (To-dos, memory, and visible results) discusses how AI agents relate to to-do tools:
- Guizang says he once tried managing his to-do list through chat, dropped Dida365 for it, and that “after a year, I found I had managed nothing… so I started using Dida365 again” (Chinese transcript).
- Orange notes that “note apps and to-do apps — Dida365 and Typora are updating twice a week, which is wild” (Chinese transcript), citing it as an example of tools still iterating at high frequency.
Both passages are the participants’ personal experiences and observations. See the episode 004 chapter.
