    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).

      Isn’t it moreso to support the dev easily?

      I used that until a few weeks ago. It does not support repeated tasks and the widget is essentially the only good thing about it. It’s also essentially unmaintained. Even used to donate to it regularly but nothing came of it.

      DavX5 suggested I switch to jtx board. It’s widget is not as pretty, but at last it’s feature complete.

      Edit: also Next cloud is a php security nightmare and it’s performance bottlenecks are a pain in the rear. For calendar/mail/tasks/contacts I use SoGO. It’s pretty barebones but works very well.

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

        I’ve been meaning to learn how to spell vicious, but I can never remember to do it. It’s a viscous cycle.

      I hit reply to write something similar myself, but I forgot what it was. I wish there was a way to retrieve the things that fall out of my brain.

        You go “Oh, right” then take it out and look at it. As quaint as that sounds, for some people it works.

          Since my second child, my “Oh right” module has been malfunctioning and has been very unreliable, and the amount of things I need to remember is waaay too many to fit on a piece of paper that can fit in my pocket. I wish I could use your system. 🥲

            For sure, there’s no way this system would work for me either! I would need a to do list in another place that had a task to check the first to do list.

    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.

    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.

      Went back to college last year and Joplin’s been amazing. More off-topic, but the only thing I wish it had was better search result organization.

    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
