Google Calendar + Todoist Alternative: One App for Tasks and Schedule

How many apps do you open each morning?

• Google Calendar to check your schedule
• Todoist to see your tasks
• Maybe TickTick, Things 3, or Apple Reminders
• Possibly TimeTree for shared calendars

That’s at least 2-4 apps just to know what you’re doing today. Every switch is friction. Every sync issue is frustration.

What if one app did all of it better?

The Problem with Separate Apps

Using separate calendar and task apps sounds fine until you live with it:

Sync Problems

• Calendar event at 2pm, task due at 2pm — which shows where?
• Sync delays mean outdated information
• Different apps, different data, different headaches

Context Switching

• “Did I add that meeting to my calendar or my task app?”
• Information lives in multiple places
• Mental overhead adds up

Cost

• Google Calendar: Free (but limited)
• Todoist Premium: $4/month
• TickTick Premium: $3/month
• TimeTree: Free with limits

You’re paying (or suffering with free tiers) for multiple apps that should be one.

Feature Gaps

• Calendars don’t have subtasks, priorities, or lists
• Task apps don’t have proper time blocking
• Neither connects to your classes or GPA

What You Actually Need

Let’s be honest about what students and professionals need:

1. See everything in one view — tasks, events, classes
2. Multiple calendar layouts — day, week, month, agenda
3. Proper task features — lists, groups, subtasks, priorities
4. Sharing — collaborate with classmates, teams, family
5. Works offline — because WiFi isn’t everywhere
6. Integrated — calendar and tasks should talk to each other

How Khotta Combines Both

Khotta isn’t a calendar that has tasks. It’s not a task app with a calendar view. It’s built from the ground up to be both.

Calendar Features

• Multiple layouts — Day, 3-day, week, month, agenda (like Google Calendar)
• Event creation — Quick add with natural language
• Class schedule — Your classes show automatically
• Recurring events — Daily, weekly, custom patterns
• All-day events — For deadlines, holidays, reminders

Task Features

• Lists and groups — Organize by project, class, or area
• Subtasks — Break big tasks into steps
• Priorities — High, medium, low with visual indicators
• Due dates and times — Show on calendar automatically
• Sharing — Collaborate with others (like TimeTree)
• Quick capture — Add tasks in seconds

The Magic: Integration

• Tasks with due dates appear on your calendar
• Calendar events can have subtasks
• Class assignments connect to class schedules
• Everything works offline and syncs seamlessly

Sharing That Actually Works

TickTick and TimeTree are popular for shared calendars. Khotta does this too:

• Shared task lists — For group projects, family chores, team work
• Shared groups — Combine multiple lists with collaborators
• Real-time sync — Changes appear instantly for everyone
• Permissions — Control who can view vs edit

Perfect for:

• 📚 Study groups sharing assignment lists
• 👨‍👩‍👧 Families coordinating schedules
• 💼 Teams managing projects
• 🎓 Students working on group presentations

The Layouts You Know

If you love Google Calendar’s flexibility, you’ll feel at home:

• Day view — Hour-by-hour schedule
• 3-day view — See what’s coming
• Week view — The classic overview
• Month view — Big picture planning
• Agenda view — List of upcoming events and tasks

Switch layouts with a tap. Your data, your view.

Why Students Love This

For students specifically, Khotta adds what Todoist and Google Calendar can’t:

• Class schedule — Add once, see always
• Assignment tracking — Tasks linked to classes
• GPA calculation — Track grades, calculate term and degree GPA
• Focus sessions — Built-in pomodoro timer
• Streak tracking — Stay consistent with a leaderboard

It’s not just calendar + tasks. It’s a complete academic system.

Real User Feedback

“I used Google Calendar + Todoist for years. Khotta replaced both and added features I didn’t know I needed.”

“The offline support is incredible. My old apps would freeze in the library. Khotta just works.”

“Sharing task lists with my study group is so much easier than our old system.”

Make the Switch

Moving from Google Calendar and Todoist is simpler than you think:

1. Download Khotta and create your account
2. Add your classes (if you’re a student)
3. Create your task lists — organize by area or project
4. Add your recurring events — classes, meetings, commitments
5. Enjoy one app instead of three

Your productivity deserves better than app-switching.
