TickOnce — One Day, One Check
A minimal daily task manager that automatically carries unfinished tasks to the next day. No copying, no dragging - just pure simplicity.
Every morning, we face our to-do lists.
Maybe you've tried Todoist, Notion, TickTick, or Microsoft To Do.
They all help you organize tasks, but here's a familiar moment:
You open your list, and yesterday's unfinished tasks are still sitting there — waiting for you to manually move them to today.
That's not "doing."
That's managing doing.
And that's exactly what TickOnce was built to change.
✨ What is TickOnce?
TickOnce is a minimal daily task manager with one simple idea:
"Unfinished tasks automatically roll over to the next day."
No copying. No dragging. No manual sorting.
Each day, you only see two things:
- What you plan to do today
- What's still left from yesterday
Everything else just happens in the background.
💡 A Simple Example
Let's say today's list looks like this:
- Write a blog draft
- Reply to client emails
- Work out for 30 minutes
At the end of the day, you finish the first two — but not the workout.
In most task apps, you'd have to:
- ✅ Open yesterday's list
- ✅ Find "Workout 30 mins"
- ✅ Manually move or duplicate it to today
With TickOnce, you don't need to lift a finger.
The next morning, that same unfinished task automatically appears in today's list.
It's that simple.
No complex rules. No clutter. Just tasks — and the joy of ticking them off.

✏️ A Personal Story
In my daily work and life, I used to write my plans on paper —
sometimes a single sentence, sometimes a small paragraph.
It could be something I wanted to do today,
or a medium-sized task I needed to finish in a few days.
Writing it down felt grounding.
I tried many task apps.
They were all great, but too complicated for what I needed.
I spend most of my day on my computer,
and I don't like checking my phone constantly.
Many apps demanded attention —
they reminded, notified, and sometimes even made me feel guilty.
What I wanted was something like a sticky note on the fridge —
It's there when I need it,
but it doesn't pressure me.
I know this kind of tool might not be for everyone.
Maybe it's something only I'll ever use.
And that's okay.
Because when I finish a task and tick that little box,
it gives me a quiet kind of joy.
After all, completing one small goal feels better than planning ten big ones.
