I just spent half an hour going through all of the app’s settings and I’m in awe from the amount of work that went into it. Some of the things that made me realize the author put their heart and soul into it:

  • Custom filters; pages that show tasks satisfying a certain criteria, e.g. due date is up until tomorrow
  • Notification sound can be played repeatedly 5 times to catch your attention
  • Random reminders in case you’re procrastinating
  • Optionally ignore fields you don’t use in the task editing screen. I hid reminders (because the defaults are good enough), tags, location, priority. I appreciate it so much.
  • The fucking widget is customizable to death, you can hide the check boxes, hide the dividing lines between tasks, change the font size.

It’s perfect, it’s obviously on F-Droid, and it obviously syncs with Nextcloud. The widget thing was what made me write this post. They really went out of their way to make the app satisfy everyone.

Thanks for listening

    Tasks is literally one of the best and most polished apps I have ever seen. I have it on my phone and it syncs with my CalDAV server really well. I should definitely use it more.
