Tick is a daily loop, not a habit list. Name who you want to be in ten years, and it becomes a few daily habits, a journal, and a Today tab that keeps the loop in view.
In the evening, Tick Pro checks in: tell it about your day, out loud or in writing, and it asks one or two things back. Your answers become the entry, word for word.
On your device by default. No ads, no tracking, no engagement mechanics.
It's built for people who've tried digital minimalism, deleted the apps, and come back. Tick doesn't compete for your attention. No streak flames, no reward colours, no notifications engineered to pull you back in. The new look is a page, not a feed: paper, serif type and ruled lines, with the day in plain sight.
What Tick does:
Habits you check off and graduate over time, so the list doesn't grow forever. A calendar shows which days you showed up, and lets you fill in a missed day within three. A journal with a science-backed prompt each day. Speak an entry when typing is too much: the recording stays with it, what you said becomes text on the device, and you can listen back or read it. Search everything you've written by word, place or date. Optional city on an entry, when you ask. Mark up to three standout entries a month, so the mark still means something. Stats built from your real entries: streaks, weekly completion, mood trends. Not fake wellness numbers.
Reminders run on your terms. Set the time and the weekdays yourself, or leave them off.
What Tick Pro adds:
The evening check-in, by voice or in writing. Tick asks at most two follow-up questions, keeps what you said as you said it, and only adds a title and tags.
A reflection on every journal entry.
A 30-day summary: how the month went, the themes that keep coming back, and how many entries each one touches, so you can go and check.
Patterns: how your mood moves with your habits and your weekdays. Shown only once there are enough days for the numbers to hold up.
Pro comes monthly, yearly with a 7-day trial, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Habits, writing, dictation and export never need it. If you bought Tick 1.1, or used Tick before it had a price, Pro is already yours for life.
Where the thinking happens:
On a device with Apple Intelligence, the check-in, reflections and summaries run on the device. Patterns are plain arithmetic and work everywhere. Where Apple Intelligence isn't available, you can choose to turn on cloud AI for the check-in and reflections: nothing is sent until you've read what goes and agreed, it's used for nothing else, and you can switch it off any time. Summaries need Apple Intelligence and never leave the device.
Your journal lives on your device. There's no account server and no Dualshade database of what you write. Sign in or skip it entirely — Tick works the same either way. Tick asks once whether it may send anonymous usage counts, like which screens are opened. It's off unless you allow it, and it never includes anything you write.
And it's yours to take with you. Export everything to a single dated file you can open and read for yourself, then restore it on another device — merged into what's already there, or as an exact replace.
