About tickPad: Notes & To-Do List
When something pops into your head, you don't actually know yet whether it's a note or a task. tickPad means you don't have to decide first. Just write it down. Put the cursor on any line and tap once — that line becomes a tickable to-do. Change your mind and it turns back into text. Thoughts and tasks live in the same note. ■ Capture it ・Mix plain text, checklists and images in one note ・Send text or images straight in from any app via the system share sheet ・Home-screen widget: see and tick items without opening the app ■ Find it again ・#tag categories, search, due times and repeating reminders ・Deleted notes go to Trash and stay recoverable for 30 days ■ Your data stays on your devices ・No account, no sign-up, no cloud server ・Everything is stored locally and works fully offline ・Optional: install the tickPad desktop app and your phone and computer sync directly over the same Wi-Fi — nothing passes through a third party. The desktop app can also pin notes on top of your screen and nudge them when due ・Export a full backup and restore it on a new phone Free: one small banner ad at the bottom of your list, and nothing else — no tracking. tickPad Pro is a single one-time purchase (no subscription): it removes the ad and unlocks phone–desktop sync and the desktop MCP for AI assistants.
What’s new
Version 1.1.5 · Updated September 24, 2026
• Fixed two devices editing the same note producing an endless stream of “version from another device” copies. • Smoother scrolling in the notes list: it no longer loads a whole note just to draw a row, so notes holding images stop making the list stutter.
