4/5/2023 0 Comments Ticktick app not synching![]() My outstanding question would be how to get the most current data into a Windows version of Task Angel if they pull the plug, that I don’t know. Ok so now I’m sticking with Task Angel again. If and whenever Toodledo pulls the plug, I would have only slightly stale data that I could then use the latest view of Toodledo on my devices to update. As part of that weekly backup/prep process to cover my bases in case Toodledo shuts down, I will now change the sync option in Task Angel on all of my iOS devices from Toodledo to iCloud Drive then back to Toodledo again. ![]() ![]() Right now, once per week, I download all tasks and notebooks in CSV from Toodledo. You are correct, I did not realize until now that Task Angel is dependent upon Toodledo data and servers for all of its solutions. I figured either the dependency is going/gone or the OP might not know about it. It wouldn't make sense to consider TaskAngel for this unless they are no longer dependent on ToodleDo for Windows sync. The original poster is "more than worried that ToodleDo will be shut down" and looking for a solid plan B that includes sync on a Windows system. So now I'm ready in case Toodledo pulls the plug :) Maybe if enough Toodledo clients migrate to Task Angel and do the same, some of those funds might go back into further improving their already decent apps, who knows. But as I've spent more and more time playing with it, I'm willing to spend the money if it's a one time license. ![]() I actually really like their Windows based solution too, I've been hesitant about spending $15 per PC for it, especially since I haven't confirmed whether that's $15 one time or per year. But you get so much with the free iOS version of Task Angel including but certainly not limited to the ability to sort on three criteria as well as group tasks, and much more. A very solid solution with as much or more functionality than Toodledo, although the look and feel is nowhere near the current iOS and Windows versions of Toodledo. So unless you can survive on sorting your to do list on one criteria, you probably need a different solution than TickTick. Update - I have confirmed with TickTick that they do not have sorting on multiple criteria, and they have no plans to do so anytime soon but they will "let their development team know about it". Task Angel is a very close 2nd but currently does not offer a free Windows solution to compliment their free iOS solution. A separate notes section and functionality like Toodledo would be nice too but not a showstopper. My wish list is simple.a free to do list that runs on iOS, Windows, and the Apple Watch if possible (TickTick supports all three) basic task functions like repeating tasks, folders, due dates, tags, a notes field for free form text, status and priority and at least TWO sorting capabilities lol. I either learn to live with one sort criteria, or start to re-examine some of the other solutions out there. And I see years of TickTick forum requests saying “thanks, that’s a great idea, we’ll keep you posted” and you know what that means :) So I’m at an impasse now. Unfortunately, while TickTick offers everything else that I currently have with Toodledo, it only offers one sort criteria. I can get my daily task list into the exact order that I want. Most people use date then priority, I understand but date then tag works better for me. With Toodledo I get three criteria for free, and I only need and use two - date then tag. ![]() I never really appreciated the stock sorting capabilities of Toodledo until I didn’t have it. It offers the most similar functionality to what I currently use in Toodledo, and I’ve got it up and running in a test environment, looking and behaving a lot like Toodledo. Based on my analysis of every alternative that has been suggested, as well as those that I’ve discovered on my own, my front runner continues to be TickTick. So while I am still a HUGE Toodledo fan, and will not stop using it until I am forced to, I also recognize the importance of having a solid Plan B. has me more than worried that Toodledo will be shut down. While I am still actively using Toodledo on a daily basis as my go to iOS and Windows app for to do lists and notes, the lack of any response from anyone at Toodledo in months to any requests, discussions, etc. ![]()
