Import from TickTick

Make a backup on TickTick’s website, a .csv file with all your lists, then choose it in Ring List’s Import card.

Before you start

TickTick’s phone apps can’t make a backup. Use TickTick’s website, ticktick.com, in a browser, on a computer if you can.

In TickTick

1. Go to ticktick.com and sign in.
2. Click your picture at the top left, then Settings.
3. Choose Account, then Backup & Import.
4. Click Generate Backup. A .csv file downloads, with all your lists in it.

Make the backup right before you import: it holds your lists as they are at that moment. Don’t open and save it in a spreadsheet first, which can change it.

In Ring List

1. On Ring Lists, tap or click the + circle, then import.
2. Under From, choose TickTick.
3. Tap or click Choose the .csv file and pick the backup.

Each TickTick list becomes a list. A list that was in a folder goes in a group with the folder’s name.

What comes over

• Kanban columns, as sections. Subtasks and checklist items, as subtasks.
• Each task’s description, as its note. A TickTick note becomes a section, with its words under it.
• Due dates, times, repeats and reminders.
• Tags, as labels.
• Finished tasks, finished. Won’t Do tasks, as Won’t do.
• A start date still to come: the task is snoozed until then.
• Priorities, one step lower: high as !!, medium as !, low as ↓.

What doesn’t

• Pictures and files: the backup doesn’t have them. Words in the task say where one was.
• Habits, focus records and comments.
• A column with no tasks in it.
• A repeat Ring List doesn’t have, such as every 2 hours, stays in the task’s note on a line starting “From TickTick:”. See After an import.
