Feature request: weather aware task scheduleing
Summary
Add an optional Weather Condition field to tasks, so TickTick can automatically alert users when the forecast conflicts with — or is ideal for — an upcoming weather-dependent task.
The Problem
- Many everyday tasks are directly tied to weather conditions — washing the car, outdoor sports, gardening, travel, construction work...
- Currently, users must manually check the weather and cross-reference their task list themselves. This creates missed tasks, last-minute reschedules, and frustration.
- No major to-do app solves this today.
Proposed Solution
When creating or editing a task, add an optional "Weather Condition" field with Ideal condition — the weather needed for this task to happen:
☀️ Sunny / Clear
🌤️ Partly cloudy
🌧️ Rain (e.g. "stay-at-home tasks")
🌡️ Temperature higher than or lower than
Use Case & How It Would Work
User creates a task: "Wash the car"
Due date: Saturday
weather condition: ☀️ Sunny required
TickTick checks the 5 to 7 day forecast in the background daily If rain is forecast for that day, a smart notification fires 1–2 days before
🌧️ "Rain expected on Saturday — your task 'Wash the car' may need rescheduling."
Users can snooze, reschedule, or dismiss directly from the notification.
User Experience Details
The weather field is fully optional — zero impact on users who don't use it Works alongside existing due dates and reminders
- it's an additional smart layer Notification timing is configurable (e.g. alert 1 day before, 3 days before)
- Uses the device's existing location permission (already used by TickTick for location-based reminders)
- Weather data sourced from a reliable forecast API (e.g. OpenWeatherMap), refreshed daily
Feature request 2 : A weekly caaland+weather widget
1- Context-Aware Planning
By pairing each day's task list with its corresponding weather forecast, users can make smarter scheduling decisions at a glance.
2- Reduces App Clutter
A basic weather forecast covers the needs of most users. Integrating it directly into TickTick's widget effectively turns the app into a 2-in-1 productivity and weather solution. Users would no longer need a standalone weather app just to check the daily forecast, freeing up home screen space and reducing cognitive load.
Why This Matters
- Makes TickTick proactive, not just reactive
-Especially valuable for users in regions with variable weather
- Deepens daily engagement with the app in a genuinely useful way.
-Aligns with TickTick's vision of being a smart life management tool
Technical Feasibility Notes
- Weather APIs (OpenWeatherMap, WeatherAPI) provide free 7-day forecasts with simple REST calls
- Android and iOS background refresh already support periodic data syncing for widgets
- Location permission is already requested by TickTick for existing features
- The forecast window is most reliable within 5–7 days
- a re-check closer to the due date handles tasks scheduled further out.
