My wife and I use Cozi (free tier) for shared lists and calendar. Now we both will know when we need laundry detergent and that we have to meet up with whoever next week even if it doesn’t come up in conversation. You can notify each other of calendar additions too, so that side of it doesn’t even rely on checking that often.
For simple chores and errands, we just have a white board in the kitchen. We are cute and leave each other notes on it sometimes too.
Things for iOS
iOS Reminders app synced with Radicale server.
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.
I also use a bunch and a head system that works. TickTick has been my go to for high importance tasks/reminders, then 3 more apps for various mental purposes.
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).
I use Tasks too :))

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.
Will check those out, thanks!
What do you mean it doesn’t support repeated tasks? I have bunch of monthly tasks that show up once per month.
Tasks.org is both well maintained, and supports repeated tasks.
I have to correct myself there. I confused that with opentasks. My bad. Sorry
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 wrote one many times over during my career that was amazingly effective, not just for myself but others, too. I can’t figure out how to write it for the phone because I am a crummy programmer. I would love to have it again. It had one feature that I am unable to find on any other to-do list app.
What was the feature?
Zero or more prerequisite tasks. End to start dependencies in project management parlance.
I just got used to being disappointed in myself and don’t make lists anymore.
None because I don’t do shit.
I didn’t do shit, but I use TickTick to help organize the shit I’m not doing.
A piece of paper folded in my pocketand a travel sized pen…
How do you get reminders from that? 🙃
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.

TickTick has been my weapon of choice for several years now. Still loving it.
40€/year…ouch
Same! The cross platform availability is what keeps me coming back.
Todo.txt file on my nas synced to my phone and computer. Works great
Google Tasks. Love that it syncs to Google Calendar.
Google Calendar
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.
Superproductivity but I’m so irresponsible. Every to do list app I do, I never follow through.
Same (wrt that last part). Trying to find one that works but it’s honestly exhausting after years of seeing them all be pretty much the same. And I can’t really articulate what it is that would make it be the one for me. I know I’m not helping in any way here, lol
I would give superoroductivity a go. You just mark stuff you need to do throughout the week and you can separate your different “projects”. It has a nice weekly view and everything as well.
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.
