Featured on Wired, The Washington Post, Fast Company, Lifehacker, iMore, AppAdvice, and many others. "Being ultra-organized just got more fun" — The Washington Post. "Tick is a customizable, icon-based to-do list app filled with animations that appeals equally to logic and emotion." — Wired. Tick is a powerful and beautifully designed to-do app, rebuilt from the ground up for iOS 26 with a modern Liquid Glass interface. Organize your life with colorful animated tiles, set reminders for the right time and place, and share lists with family and friends over iCloud. ORGANIZE ◉ Animated tile home — each list is a vibrant tile with its own animated icon: the shopping cart rolls, the paws walk, the credit card swipes, and many more. ◉ Priorities and notes — flag todos as Low, Medium, or High, and attach notes for extra context. ◉ At-a-glance badges — every todo shows tappable badges for its due date, repeat, priority, and notes, so you see what's set without opening it. ◉ Scheduled — every todo with a date, from all your lists, in one place: Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, and Later. ◉ Drag to rearrange — reorder your lists and todos simply by dragging them. ◉ Sort your way — order any list by hand, by due date, or by priority. ◉ Choose your layout — show 2 or 3 lists per row, right from Settings. REMIND ◉ Date reminders — get notified at a specific time, with daily, weekday, weekend, weekly, monthly, or yearly repeats. ◉ Place reminders — get reminded when you arrive at or leave a place: tap a shop on the map, search for one, or drop a pin. ◉ Act from the notification — mark a todo done, or snooze it for an hour or until tomorrow, without opening the app. ◉ App icon badge — see at a glance how many todos are due today. SHARE AND SYNC ◉ iCloud sync — your lists stay up to date across all your devices, automatically. ◉ Shared lists — share any list with other iCloud users; todos, reminders, and notes all travel together in real time. PERSONALIZE ◉ Color themes — apply a theme to color all your lists at once, or pick an individual color per list. ◉ Custom icons — choose an animated icon for each list from a curated set. ◉ Appearance — light, dark, or system, and turn animations on or off.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Keybarn at none against Tick's 1. Keybarn also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Tick's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
