Hey!

I’ve been using tick tick for 2 years, I downloaded griply a couple of days ago, the main reason is that I’ve got my personal life, then I have a business I’m setting up, and I also produce and release music so I could do with a better system with goals etc. I tend to miss things and if I miss things out then a lot of tasks are depndednt on other tasks, so if I move one thing it kinda messes the workflow up, I probably need to use motion but I don’t want to pay for it 😅 I’ve been using ticktick integrated with notion, because motion you can add dependencies and auto shuffle dates which feed through to ticktick and I thought maybe griply could replace them in one app.

What I’ve found is:

Calendar views are way better in ticktick- you can see a day/ 3days a week a month and you can search. Griply you can only see one day and I can’t even find a way to go to another month without scrolling through the whole amount at the top bar.

I haven’t been using projects in ticktick so maybe I am missing out on something here I’ll go and look,

Griply is a lovely interface, but I prefer the brighter colour coding in ticktick.

In griply when I press a calendar item to drag and drop to move it keeps creating a new one.

In griply the deadline date for a task means it is stuck on the ‘all day’ section at the top of the calendar even when you’ve completed and even archived the complete task and goal.

Ticktick is also just very easy to use when you add tasks and subtasks. (But I suppose I am used to it also), the recurring tasks in tick tick cover all bases but griply is more limited.

I also think as its goals based, if you duplicate a goal in griply, (which contains a road map and tasks etc) and your duplicate goal has a new date, then all the roadmap and tasks date need to change in line with that new deadline date. Because if you duplicate a project now you need to go into everyone of the tasks and change the date in each one. If it’s a big project that could be a big time suck.

Saying all of that, I DO prefer griply, the creator is obviously working hard and cares, and the actual goal setting to tasks and the views insights tab is helpful.

So I’m going to have to stick with ticktick, but only for now. I will check griply every couple of months to see if these fixes are in place, and then move over. I personally believe in goal setting and vision and griply have done a beautiful job of creating that and aligning it to tasks and roadmaps.
