I run into this every once in a while, but the sticking point is always the mobile picture. If I want to add a todo item using my phone, what are my options?

Taskwarrior's mobile app is sufficient, though configuration for use of a taskserver is fiddly. There are cloud taskservers (I use https://inthe.am https://inthe.am, but you can host your own, too.)

I use Google Tasks for this and I love it. It's super simple and lightweight and I really hope they don't kill it.

  I wish they would add more features. I would love a full featured free TODO app from Google.

    What features do you need?

      Not the parent commenter, but... - Add a time to reminders, as they're currently only due date reminders. (Nearly useless, really, other than appearing on your calendar.) - Merge Tasks remidners with the Google Assistant reminders, and the Google Keep reminders. Three different places to have Googley reminders, all separate. - Re-arranging the task lists. (You can only re-arrange tasks on a list, but not the lists themselves. This is a basic feature that is surprisingly missing.) - Add a widget for the Android home screen so you can keep a specific list in full view all the time. (This is kinda' a personal wishlist item.) - Add Google Assistant voice command support to create tasks, review tasks, etc. (Super useful while driving and remembering something.) - Add tagging to list items, and a search function so you can have "meta-lists" like "All Items Due Today" without having to maintain items across lists. (This would allow you implement the GTD methodology.) - Add minimal per-list collaboration of some sort, similar to Keep. (I guess it's already available for Keep, so maybe not super relevant.)

On Android you can also use taskwarrior in a terminal with termux.

I use emacs org-mode with beorg¹ on iOS. beorg has very good agenda view and allows dumping new entries. Refilling and tagging I do later with real emacs. Syncing files is done via webdav (nextcloud to be exact). It is a pleasant working experience. ¹ http://beorgapp.com/ http://beorgapp.com/

I use org-mode + orgzly on Android, synced via Dropbox. Obviously, orgzly gives you only a small fraction of org-mode features, but you're still able to edit org files, view & search through tasks, display somewhat customized agendas and get reminders on tasks with scheduled dates and deadlines. That's enough to get me through the times when I don't have access to a computer with Emacs (or terminal & SSH, which I can use to connect to Emacs instance running on my home desktop).

todo.sh has a mobile app (paid) that syncs with the files produced by the command line tool using Dropbox. Worked well when I wasn’t just using vimwiki.
