Wondering what the closest thing to a to-do task manager like TickTick would be? I don’t necessarily need deep google calendar integration, but a task to-do app that has a similar clean / practical interface, bonus points if cross-platform possibilities like having an iphone app? Thanks!

    I couldn’t find one that suited me, so I continued using TickTick. I tried very hard to like Vikunja, which is probably the closest alternative to TickTick, but the lack of an iPhone/iPad app, among a few other issues, drove me back. I didn’t like using the right column to set task attributes. In my view, it requires too many clicks to set up a task with start/end times, effort levels, etc. This is especially painful on the phone. Another feature I missed in Vikunja was the drag-and-drop functionality that TickTick offers.

      Hadn’t heard of that, seems like a very promising app. Hope they continue to develop it more.

    May I ask why would self-host simple to-do app? I’m just curious.

    Joplin has to-do part. Nothing special (far from ticktick) but it can be self-hosted and has iphone app.

      Mostly because the best options I’ve found require a monthly subscription fee that I’d like to avoid if I can find an alternative. Haven’t tried Joplin but have looked at it before, I’ll look at it more carefully, thanks for the tip.
