Looking for an alternative to apps like TickTick and Todoist but I don’t want a subscription to deal with. I can justify a one time purchase of a todo app though as long as it’s reasonable. Any recommendations?

Damn they’re making todo lists a subscription service now??

To answer the question: anything that provides a CALDAV backend (e.g. Nextcloud, Etesync, Radicale). Some are free with limited storage, but some are subscription based, but you get calendar, storage, other stuff too. You can additionally self-host a CALDAV server or Nextcloud to use these services gratuit. For a more minimal implentation, try plain text, markdown, orgmode, etc., and use Syncthing to sync between devices.

If you download it from Fdroid, it doesn’t have a subscription. And it has all the features unlocked.

What features are locked? I’ve only ever used the f-droid version, and haven’t noticed anything blocked. But I don’t use it much (unfortunately).

Tasks.org app because it syncs across Nextcloud or Apple Reminders or Android or Linux, and more.

Apple reminders (has gotten better and better, syncs, gets updates, is 100% free, sharing, built in, …).

Things is also great.

These are both iOS/macOS though, so sry if you were looking for something else

The only thing I wish Apple Reminders has is the ability to set a recurring task like “30 days after task completion”

I use Obsidian for note taking, and I downloaded an extension for the ability to turn any note into a task.

Might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s FREE and locally hosted on your PC.

I’m REALLY interested to learn Obsidian. I like the fact that the files are simply .md files so they can be exported to anything else after. Also that’s it’s SUPER extensible and customizable. It should perfect for my needs to combine my procedures, documentations and projects follow-ups

It does take some effort to learn, but it is super customizable and it’s been working great for me so far.

You just have to go for it and figure it out. I just used it for planning a vacation and found it quite useful and nicer than other options I have used before.
