I spent 18 months building a FREE iOS & Mac productivity app because paying $7/mo for basic features felt like a scam.
Hi everyone, I'm a 15-year-old solo dev. I was tired of juggling three different apps for tasks, habits, and calendar on my phone, and honestly, the paywalls on basic features (looking at you, Todoist) were driving me crazy.
So, I spent the last year and a half building an alternative completely from scratch.
It’s called Telic. It’s an all-in-one productivity ecosystem, totally free, with zero ads and absolutely no paywalls. To avoid server costs and respect your privacy, I built it to sync securely straight through your own Google Drive -meaning your data never touches my server.
Here are some of the features:
- A Connected Ecosystem: Tasks, Habits, Calendar, Gantt charts, and Gamified stats all interconnected in one place.
- On All Your Devices: Native on iOS, macOS, Android, or even Web.
- Deep Customization: 10+ palettes, time-based palettes, and heavy UI tweaking to make it feel native to your setup.
- Smart Features: An optional AI Assistant and QuickAdd functionality.
It's been a massive project and I know it’s not flawless yet, which is why I'm actively pushing updates.
I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback from the iOS community! Let me know what you think of the UI, if the app runs smoothly on your device, or what bugs you manage to find. :)
