Tasks.org, synced with Nextcloud tasks.

You must download it from F-droid for the sync to be free. On Play Store it's under a paywall by dev decision (to promote open source portals).

None because I don't do shit.

I've tried so many and even programmed my own and none of them worked for me. I was especially disappointed in the ones that claimed to be AI-assisted.

I go around telling people my intentions, and then query them 100 times a day about what I should be doing at any given time. If they stop responding then I spam them with emails demanding updates, and if they block my emails then I go to their houses.

I'm very productive.

I've made my own for Android: Taskmo

Right now I'm trying out Joplin tho since it's FOSS and crossplatform.

Todo.txt file on my nas synced to my phone and computer. Works great

A piece of paper folded in my pocketand a travel sized pen....

I’ve been meaning to find a todo app, but I always forget. I have no way to remind myself. It’s a viscous cycle.

TickTick has been my weapon of choice for several years now. Still loving it.

I use a mix of Org mode via Emacs and Orgzly,

and Notally, which is still my main notes app while I'm still working on transitioning to Orgmode completely.

Superproductivity but I'm so irresponsible. Every to do list app I do, I never follow through.

Google Tasks. Does not have all the features of other apps but does everything I need and was preinstalled

Tasks.org, synced to nextcloud using webdav

I use Trello to manage several lists (recurring daily, Tuesdays only, one-offs, etc) and reconcile them into a daily plan each morning

My main requirement is that it has to be available on my heavily locked down work phone and work laptop as well as my home ones. If it isnt in my face whenever I look at a screen, it isnt going to work. So it ends up being Google tasks.

A Post-It and a pencil, usually.

Not because "app bad" or "return to monke" or anything like that. Mostly because if I stow the note in a dedicated app, that somehow just makes me less inclined to write it down and read it later.

A scrap of papersticking out like a sore thumb on my desk or burning a hole in my pocket? I'm going to be cognizant of that all day long. But an obscure text file chilling in a disused part of my phone, or a txt file lost in the shuffle of random shit on my PC? Outta sight outta mind.

I also find all digital input schemes to be frustratingly less flexible than physical paper. Provided I have a writing utensil on hand that is functional (not always a given, granted) it is trivial to put anything I want on a note. Write anything I want. Draw diagrams. Underline or strike text. Write some things larger or heavier than others. All of these things are possible in note taking apps, but they come with the idiosyncracies of needing to know the selection techniques and menu options to activate them. In this way they're all death by a thousand tiny annoying cuts for me.

I even had a smart phone with a built-in stylus for a good long while. It definitely extended the things you could do with ease, but it was a far cry from a pencil.

The only thing a note taking app can do in my mind that paper can't is yell at you with a loud noise at a pre-programmed time. If I need one of those, I just set an alarm in my clock app.

Google Calendar

I've been using a lot of different apps. Then I tried using tasker plugin along with dataview in Obsidian - but it was too convoluted. I settled on using vikunja for tasks that I need to keep track of, and the things I commit to goes into my "today" note in Obsidian.

Generally it is not advisable to have more than one source of information for your tasks, but this setup worked for me.

I've been a user of the GTD method for many, many years, so any app I use needs to be GTD-specific.

Currently, I'm using Nirvana - have been for about 6 years. I like it so much, I paid for the lifetime sub, so haven't really bothered to look elsewhere since.

I make lists in Simplenote. I also add stuff to my native Reminders app and then ignore them notifications or keep pushing them off by setting them to fire again later. Sometimes I actually get around to them when I need a task to keep me busy during podcasts.

Weird to not see (at the time I’m writing this) any mentions of “todoist” which people on forums have loved for ages. I’m not a fan at all so I’m glad to finally not see it as frequently. My preference for work, where I have multiple categories and statuses (including a “done and waiting for the other person to confirm” status) is Trello with some automations. For home, just simple reliable entry on phone and desktop, is Ticktick. I particularly love the natural date parsing built into Ticktick (can also be done in Trello with an automation), very useful for super fast task entry and due date/time scheduling.

I have multiple

• Microsoft ToDo
• Clickup
• A discord channel
• Joplin

And I also use pen and paper

I use them all. Don't ask me why I can't stick with one, because I don't know. But my system works.

Things for iOS

I’ve tried a bunch and def feel TickTick is the best

I'm currently using Google Keep for personal tasks and Microsoft To-do at work, but want to switch to something self hosted.

I just use the reminders app on my iPhone, I tried a bunch of other apps. But it was the integration on my watch, Mac, iPad, etc that just made that option the most ideal, despite lacking features of some the otbers

Todoist works great for me. I like the recurring tasks feature which lets me clear up a lot of headspace. "Clean XYZ every 11 days #chore" is all the syntax you need to setup a recurring task that's categorised under the "chore" category.

All the apps... and none of them work for me.

But one that is nice, powerful, and still free usable without working with a 'hello world build a todo application'-app and seems to work for people that actually use todo applications.
