None because I don’t do shit.
I’ve been meaning to find a todo app, but I always forget. I have no way to remind myself. It’s a viscous cycle.
Have you tried diluting your cycle with some water or turpentine to reduce its viscosity?
I’ve been meaning to learn how to spell vicious, but I can never remember to do it. It’s a viscous cycle.
Haha, nice. I had to go back to read his post twice to see what you were talking about.
I hit reply to write something similar myself, but I forgot what it was. I wish there was a way to retrieve the things that fall out of my brain.
I go around telling people my intentions, and then query them 100 times a day about what I should be doing at any given time. If they stop responding then I spam them with emails demanding updates, and if they block my emails then I go to their houses.
I’m very productive.
Todo.txt file on my nas synced to my phone and computer. Works great
I’ve tried so many and even programmed my own and none of them worked for me. I was especially disappointed in the ones that claimed to be AI-assisted.
I just use the reminders app on my iPhone, I tried a bunch of other apps. But it was the integration on my watch, Mac, iPad, etc that just made that option the most ideal, despite lacking features of some the otbers

Todoist works great for me. I like the recurring tasks feature which lets me clear up a lot of headspace. “Clean XYZ every 11 days #chore” is all the syntax you need to setup a recurring task that’s categorised under the “chore” category.
All the apps… and none of them work for me.
But one that is nice, powerful, and still free usable without working with a ‘hello world build a todo application’-app and seems to work for people that actually use todo applications.
I have multiple
- Microsoft ToDo
- Clickup
- A discord channel
- Joplin
And I also use pen and paper
I use them all. Don’t ask me why I can’t stick with one, because I don’t know. But my system works.
I also use a bunch and a head system that works. TickTick has been my go to for high importance tasks/reminders, then 3 more apps for various mental purposes.
I use Amazing Marvin - super customizable to make your own workflow, so you can make it as simple or complicated as you’d like. Small team, but responds super quickly to questions and requests.
I use
neorgfor neovim, specifically I use:Neorg journal todayto open up a daily .Norge file that I maintain notes, todo, etc on.If I need to leave a note for myself for the future, I create a note for that day ahead of time.
My wife and I use Cozi (free tier) for shared lists and calendar. Now we both will know when we need laundry detergent and that we have to meet up with whoever next week even if it doesn’t come up in conversation. You can notify each other of calendar additions too, so that side of it doesn’t even rely on checking that often.
For simple chores and errands, we just have a white board in the kitchen. We are cute and leave each other notes on it sometimes too.
Apple reminder. It syncs with nextcloud ( unfortunately no sub tasks possible) but i am using icloud. The app itself is pretty descent with some cool features
I’ve been using a lot of different apps. Then I tried using
taskerplugin along withdataviewin Obsidian - but it was too convoluted. I settled on using vikunja for tasks that I need to keep track of, and the things I commit to goes into my “today” note in Obsidian.Generally it is not advisable to have more than one source of information for your tasks, but this setup worked for me.
I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it’s pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there’s some things lacking.
A Post-It and a pencil, usually.
Not because “app bad” or “return to monke” or anything like that. Mostly because if I stow the note in a dedicated app, that somehow just makes me less inclined to write it down and read it later.
A scrap of papersticking out like a sore thumb on my desk or burning a hole in my pocket? I’m going to be cognizant of that all day long. But an obscure text file chilling in a disused part of my phone, or a txt file lost in the shuffle of random shit on my PC? Outta sight outta mind.
I also find all digital input schemes to be frustratingly less flexible than physical paper. Provided I have a writing utensil on hand that is functional (not always a given, granted) it is trivial to put anything I want on a note. Write anything I want. Draw diagrams. Underline or strike text. Write some things larger or heavier than others. All of these things are possible in note taking apps, but they come with the idiosyncracies of needing to know the selection techniques and menu options to activate them. In this way they’re all death by a thousand tiny annoying cuts for me.
I even had a smart phone with a built-in stylus for a good long while. It definitely extended the things you could do with ease, but it was a far cry from a pencil.
The only thing a note taking app can do in my mind that paper can’t is yell at you with a loud noise at a pre-programmed time. If I need one of those, I just set an alarm in my clock app.
