Ask HN: What is currently – in your opinion – the best ToDo List App?

[franze]

I am using Todoist. Its okay a bit on too much on the human side (one can accumulate karma in it, believe it or not) but it isn't worse than you can just chuggle and ignore it.

The upside is that it is fast, has natural language processing and decent shortcuts.

[DantesKite]

Haven't found one.

I'm thinking about creating a todo app that organizes content automatically by category using machine learning.

It wouldn't be very good for a very long time, but organizing tasks has always felt like a chore and an inaccurate one at that.

I really like Things. It has the right combination of simplicity and "schedulability" for me.

$50 for a Mac-only to-do app seems egregious.

todo.txt or todo.org is free and does the same thing.

[keiferski → gaws]

I don’t have an issue paying for good products and $50 is hardly egregious.

These open source alternatives don’t seem to have iPhone apps and they also lack some of the key features I rely on in Things.

Things. Peter Akkies often explains why. https://youtu.be/ZRJTDCw8Wok

EpicWin - RPG Style to-do-list... hasn't been updated in way too long and is ad supported, but otherwise is an entertaining to-do-list app.

There is no "best" here. Everyone approaches this differently.

I use Trello. I use it as a simple list of lists of to-do items, not as a fancy project manager.

I am starting to like Notion, as I can use it for multiple goals. ( Todo list with detailed links, templates for different checklists etc)

[rozenmd]

Google Keep (until it gets shut down, I guess)

[peanutButterKid]

I use https://notion.so

[solardev]

For a simple list you can share with your family (like grocery lists), I use Any.do.

[methusala8]

Workflowy integrated with complice for focused goals.

[dyeje]

The best one is the one you use consistently.

[MaxPengwing]

my whiteboard & Rhodia notebook.

There is something very satisfying in crossing out or wiping out a task physically.

[KolenCh]

Taskpaper, the format at least.

[bitlax]

Org-mode for personal stuff.
