Fun Task Tick is a gentle daily checklist for Android. Tick small tasks, earn points and tickets, and spend tickets on short games.
Pick what you'd like to make time for. The welcome screen asks a few questions. Choose some tasks, or start with a ready-made list.
Set your day. Tell the app when you wake up and go to bed. Reminders and games rest while you sleep.
Tick your first task. Tap the box next to a task on Today. You'll see your points go up.
Change your list any time. Tap Edit tasks on Today. You can browse the task library or write your own tasks.
Points: every task you tick gives points. Bigger tasks, like a workout, give more than quick ones.
Lucky ticks: now and then a tick lands lucky and gives extra points.
Tickets: each task you tick today earns a ticket. If you un-tick it, that ticket goes back.
The ring: your ticks fill the ring on Today. Its target comes from your daily routine tasks. Close the ring and you get a bonus ticket for the day.
Ticket limit: you can hold up to 12 tickets. When you're full, ticks still give points. You'll earn tickets again once you play.
Tickets are earned, never sold. You can't buy them.
You can earn extra points for things like:
finishing all of the day's routines
going on three walks in one day
a "Mind day": a mindful task, a focus task and a sleep task on the same day
coming back after a couple of days away (a welcome-back bonus)
reaching streak milestones
Your level grows in two ways. Your points count towards it. And every day you tick something adds 100 level points on top. The days don't need to be in a row.
Tap the Level chip on Today to open Awards. You'll see your level, a bar towards the next one, and your badges.
A missed day or a long break never lowers your level. Levelling up opens new games, and once a game is open, it stays open.
Your streak counts the days in a row that you ticked something. It's forgiving:
One missed day is forgiven, as long as you haven't missed another day in the week before it.
Two missed days in a row start a fresh streak.
Today doesn't count against you until it's over. Your streak still counts up to yesterday.
Badges you earn for a streak stay earned, even after the streak ends.
Each week, starting on Monday, Today shows a small goal. It might be ticking something on a few different days, or a few tasks from one section. Reach it and you earn a bonus ticket.
A new week brings a new goal, however the last one went. When a goal is done, tap it to hide it until Monday.
Every round is short: a few minutes, and it always ends. Open Games from the Games tile on Today, which also shows your tickets.
A paid round: most rounds cost one ticket.
The daily free game: tick any one task today and a free game is ready. A different game takes its turn each day. If you back out before the round ends, it isn't used up.
A free first round: when a level up opens a new game, its first round is free. The level-up card on Today has a "Play it now" button.
Games still to come: locked games show "Unlocks at level N", so you can see which level opens each one.
If you'd rather not play, you can turn games off in Settings.
Before your first round of a game, a short "How to play" card explains the goal and how a move works. You can open it again any time with the "?" button at the top of the game. The round's clock stops while the card is open.
A timer helps you start a task and see it through. To add one, open the task in Edit list and pick a timer under "Add a timer?":
Count down: set the minutes. When the timer reaches zero, the task is ticked for you. You can pause it, stop it or add 5 minutes.
Beat my time: set a target time. The timer chimes when you reach the target and keeps counting after it. Tap Done when you finish: the task is ticked and your time is kept. Your best time shows on the task and in the timer, and a faster finish shows "New best".
Some tasks come with a timer already, like brushing your teeth.
On Today, a task with a timer has a small play button on its row. Tap it to start. The timer fills the screen; tap back to return to your list, and the timer keeps running. When a timer ends, you can take a 5-minute break before your next task.
At the bottom of Today, "How was today?" lets you pick a mood face and add a short note. Both are optional, and the app never nags you about them. You can also add or change the mood and note for any past day in History.
Forgot to tick something yesterday? You can fix it.
The day strip: tap a recent day in the strip at the top of Today.
History: tap History on Today, pick any day in the calendar, then tap "Open this day".
A gold banner shows which day you're editing. Late ticks give the task's normal points. They don't earn tickets or lucky ticks: those come from ticking on the day itself.
Daily check-ins: turn them on in Settings. You get a gentle nudge in the morning and one in the evening, timed from your quiet hours. They're skipped on days your list is done.
Task reminders: open a task in Edit list to add a notification at the times and days you choose. Tap Done on the notification to tick the task, or Later to be reminded again a little later.
Quiet hours: set when your night starts and ends in Settings. Nothing fires during quiet hours, and games rest overnight. Your tickets wait for you in the morning.
Add a Fun Task Tick widget to your home screen:
Today: your points, your streak and your next three tasks. Tap a task to tick it.
Next task: your points ring and a button that ticks your next task.
Ticks from a widget count just like ticks in the app.
You can share a picture card on WhatsApp or any other app on your phone:
A win: tap Share at the end of a round.
A best time: tap the share icon next to a game in Games.
A badge: in Awards, tap a badge you've earned.
The card shows the badge or your time, plus the app's name. The message includes a link to the app on Google Play. Your task names are never on the card.
Your data lives only on your phone, so a backup keeps it safe.
Export: in History, tap Export and choose where to save the file. You can add a password if you like. If you set one and forget it, the backup can't be opened.
Automatic backup: in Settings, turn on Automatic backup and pick a folder. Once a week a copy goes there, and the newest few are kept. A Google Drive folder works too: the Drive app does the upload. Automatic backups don't have a password, so pick a folder only you can open.
Import: in History, tap Import. A backup adds to what's on your phone. Nothing on the phone is deleted.
New phone: on the welcome screen, tap "Restore a backup".
No account, no sign-in, no ads and no analytics.
The app has no internet permission. Your tasks, moods and notes stay on your phone.
Nothing leaves your phone unless you choose to export a backup, share a card or pick a cloud folder for automatic backup.
Do I lose anything if I miss a day? No. Nothing is taken away for a missed day. Your points, tickets, level and badges stay.
Where is the weekly goal? I don't see lucky ticks. On a new install, these appear from your third active day, so the start stays simple. To see them now, turn on "Show everything now" in Settings.
Why can't I play right now? You may be out of tickets: tick a task to earn one. Or it may be your quiet hours, when games rest overnight.
Can I buy tickets? No. Tickets are only earned by ticking tasks.
Is this an ADHD treatment? No. It's a habit and task app, not a medical device. It doesn't diagnose or treat any condition.
