@kev I have given up on finding a good todo app. I've gone back to pen, paper and simple bullet journaling.

For notes, though, I like capacities.io or logseq

@kev In general, you need 2 apps for what you want. Most of the good note taking apps are not really designed with the power of the good task management apps. Once you submit to that unfortunate reality, you open up your options.

@kev todo.txt as a plain-text file format for tasks and a reasonably free choice of programs to interact with the file.

Or, as suggested previously, markdown files.

The real problem is "next action" or due dates. That requires support by the program used.

Especially on an android phone Markor is not the worst option.

Looking forward to reading about your discoveries on your blog 😁

@kev
I seem to remember you're already using Joplin, so as has been suggested, that's probably a good start.

There's also Microsoft's To Do, which is cloud based. But you probably already know about that one.

@kev I'm working on a todo app, what features you need exactly? or the workflow your looking for?

@kev I've used https://tiddlywiki.com/ for decades; single html file or individual 'tiddlers' for todos and notes. Have not heard a "next action" mechanism but community is friendly and helpful and can imagine one of them showing you how.

NB: I've reached its limits and will transition to org-mode.

@kev I'm using Obsidian for notes, but I don't keep a task list. There's _multiple_ community plugins that claim to do that, but I haven't tried any of them. I like Obsidian for the markdown file formatting and using Hashtags for search and binding like notes together. The graph view is fun, but not the most practical for my use. I've seen the Canvas used in interesting ways by others, but I haven't played with it much.

@kev I’ve switched a few months ago to a paper notebook and a pen, and I couldn’t be happier.

@mike @kev Likewise using Obsidian, which I love for my TTRPG notes 😃 ... but now I can't unknow that https://publish.obsidian.md/tasks/Introduction exists... and I have to go try it.

@mike @kev +1 for Obsidian.

I've given up on todo lists. I put appointments into my calendar which blocks time to actually do the things. Instead of a separate list that just keeps snowballing stuff up which I'll never get to anyway.

@kev I use Superproductivity, it's got lots of features. But for more basic tasks tasks.org is quite good too.

@kev

While not necessarily a note taking app, @vikunja is quite nice as a TODO list manager :)
