Looking for alternatives to Google Tasks (lemmy.blackeco.com)

Hello,

I recently migrated from Gmail / Google Calendar to Proton, and while I find it to be a perfect alternative to both with great UX, it does not provide a suitable alternative to Google Tasks.

I know Proton Calendar has yet to introduce tasks/reminders and that users usually advice using alternative apps just for this need, but I have yet to find an alternative that exposes an ICS calendar I can import in order for tasks to show up directly in my calendar.

So I'm open to your suggestions! For the other requirements, I'm looking for:

  • recurrent tasks (like every day, every first Saturday of the month, every 6 months, etc.)
  • either an Android app or a PWA for adding tasks
  • preferably self-hosted, but I'm okay if not

Thanks!

There is Tasks.org

If you're able to, I just use CalDav with Tasks/DavX on Android.

what is your dav server?

https://github.com/sabre-io/Baikal

It's pretty low maintenance so it works great.

I use self-hosted Baikal for CalDAV (calendar and tasks) and CardDAV (contacts).

A very good but corporate option is Todoist. I've tried most and this one ticks all the boxes, including that the free version is way adequate for how I use it.

I use tasks.org

I use this, and I encourage everyone to support the dev.

Its so multi-purpose, and its syncing is so solid, that I use it as a calendar and bookmark sync also.

Ok so I have a few options for you. Vikunja is a great self hosted option. I like it's UI and the UX is very intuitive. However, you will need a domain name or rig up a VPN to sync it up properly. Another option is Super Productivity. Super Productivity enables you to sync between systems using something like Dropbox, proton drive, or even self hosted options like Nextcloud.

Forgot to add, vikunja does have a mobile app but it lacks functionality. That said, the mobile in browser version of the app is excellent

I use Fossify calendar for recurring and notifications. For standard checklists, I use Joplin.
