Done vs TickTick
A TickTick alternative for people who want tasks finished, not just organized.
TickTick packs a lot into one app — tasks, habits, a calendar, and a Pomodoro timer. Done is more focused: it's an AI to-do app where the headline feature is handing work to an AI agent. If your bottleneck is doing the tasks rather than scheduling them, that's the difference that matters.

|---|---|---|

| Natural-language quick capture | Yes | Yes |
| Auto-decompose a task into subtasks | Yes | No |
| Recurring tasks | Yes | Yes |
| Task dependencies (blocked-by) | Yes | No |
| Per-account MCP endpoint for AI agents | Yes | Community servers |
| Time-blocks your day around your real meetings, and re-plans when one moves | Yes | Built-in calendar |
| Describe a filtered view in a sentence | Yes | Smart lists |
| Daily digest of overdue / due-today / stalled | Yes | Yes |
| Free to start | Free to start (100 AI calls/mo) | Yes |
Why people choose Done
- Assign tasks to an AI agent and get results in the activity feed
- A first-party MCP endpoint per account, rather than a community bridge
- Auto-decompose big tasks into clean subtasks in one action
- Dependency chains that agents respect
