Looking for a new to-do and list maker I’ve been using Planka (https://planka.app/) for years, to manage my to-do lists and other general lists of things (like gifts given, movies I want to watch and so on). But it’s been ages since I looked around for other, better apps. I really like the kanban board / trello approach they use as the lists are easy to maintain, add items to, and I can see the whole list in one glance. I don’t need fancy stuff (teams features, sharing, advanced triggers or other automation). It’s just for me, running on my home server. Apps should be FOSS and installable via docker, ideally. I’ve looked at a few of the apps on selfh.st ( https://selfh.st/apps/?search=to-do ) but nothing stood out as really interesting. Any apps you think of as new and interesting in this area? Thanks! EDIT: I’ve installed Vikunja and I’m giving it a try. So far, it was super easy to install and get started with. We’ll see how it looks after a few days, but thanks all for the ideas shared here. 👋🙂

I use Nextcloud Deck. It’s amazing.

It’s funny how this works… Right after submitting this I stumbled upon Vikunja. https://vikunja.io/ It looks good, at a glance. Anyone with experience using it?

I have been looking for a good to-do ecosystem for so long that I ended up with pen and paper. Hear me out. I bought very nice a6 paper notebook and very comfortable ball pen an I just enjoy having this one non-digital, offline thing. After years of not writing with pen and doing most of my life management digitally, having this one thing this way… It’s hard to explain but I enjoy. I even try to write with nice joined-up writing. At the beginning of the notebook I have next todos section, in the middle I have in progress long term todos and at the back I have inbox.

I’m sorry but this is kind of a wtf to me. What’s wrong with a text file? I thought I was being fancy by using org mode, which is just a text file with some markup. If you want to be really fancy you could use a bug tracker. fossil-scm.org has a built in one that I might try sometime.
