I've been using this for about a year now, and having tried out many many others over the last 20 years of IT and management. Taskwarrior was ideal when managing departments, as I was tracking 200-500 tasks at any given time.
Now that I no longer manage people or large projects this works excellent for me. I use todotxt.net for Windows, I forget what I was using when I used to use macOS, I think just vim. In windows if i'm doing some sort of batch operation I open it with notepad++ (I manage a someday.txt and horizon.txt to keep focused).
The android app is excellent, with quick widget shortcuts to add tasks, including a panel. I very often when browsing reddit, or whatever else, will "share" anything i'm interested in and then process and sort them later. Things without a context are considered my "inbox".
When I add a due date, the due date actually gets entered into my calendar as a reminder (This is EXCELLENT). Since everything is synced, it doesn't matter if I enter this from a text editor or not, the android app sees it and does the entry. I use dropbox for sync for now, which is not ideal, but I can't be bothered at the time to get my workflow setup on my sync app of choice.
- bobakanoosh 7y agoI just downloaded to app to compare it to what I use, TickTick. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't auto detect times. With TickTick, i can make the note "Haircut on Saturday at 1pm" and it will automatically set an alert for that time.
- spraak 7y agoHmm, I found the Android app lacking - can you link which one you use? I much prefer Simpletask (Dropbox version) which works with the todo.txt format but has neat filter features. I really need to see a list of all my tags of my projects get lost in each other.
- ISL 7y agoGood calendar sync is my #2 wish for Taskwarrior. Does todo.txt have support for multiple/shared Todo lists? Dependencies? Priorities?
- lighttower 7y agoI've been trying use this -- but the sync from linux is tough. Been using rClone from the laptop to push changes to gDrive but doesn't seem reliable. I need to manually remember to push the file. If the file changes on the phone and on the desktop, there is no way to auto merge them.
