Telic - Better productivity
by Petr Bina
Telic is a solo-developed productivity app from Petr Bina that bundles tasks, habits, reminders, a calendar, Gantt charts, AI assistance, and profile statistics into a single free package. Its most distinctive angle is data storage: everything lives on your own Google Drive rather than a proprietary server, which is a genuine privacy differentiator. Released in February 2026 and already on version 6.4.8 by May, the app is clearly being iterated on quickly, though it carries zero public ratings so far.
Privacy-First Storage Is the Real Hook
Routing all your data through Google Drive instead of a developer-controlled server is not a common choice, and for users who are wary of yet another cloud silo holding their personal schedules and habit logs, it is a meaningful one. You own the files, you can inspect them, and you are not dependent on Bina keeping a backend alive. The tradeoff is that setup requires a Google account, which will not suit everyone.
A Lot of Features for One Developer to Maintain
Tasks, habits, reminders, calendar, Gantt charts, AI, and statistics is an ambitious feature surface for an indie app at 64 MB. Gantt charts in particular are rarely seen outside project-management tools that charge monthly fees, so their presence here is noteworthy. The risk is that with no subscription revenue and a single developer, depth in any one area may be uneven, and long-term maintenance is an open question.
Who Should Try It
Telic suits self-employed people or students who want an all-in-one planner without a recurring bill and who are already invested in the Google ecosystem. Anyone managing a multi-week project alongside daily habits will appreciate having Gantt and habit tracking in the same place. Users who prefer offline-first apps or non-Google storage should look elsewhere, and enterprise teams need something with collaboration features this app does not advertise.
Pros
- Completely free with no paywalls or subscriptions
- Data stored on user's own Google Drive, not a third-party server
- Unusually broad feature set including Gantt charts at no cost
- Active development pace, multiple updates within the first few months
- Single app replaces several separate productivity tools
Cons
- Zero public ratings make quality and stability hard to gauge independently
- Google account required, limiting appeal for non-Google users
- Solo developer raises questions about long-term support and bug response
- No subscription revenue model could affect feature longevity
- 64 MB footprint is moderate but notable for an app with no offline-first storage
