TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that's so good

Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)

    May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn't collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it's packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.

    Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly

    I've tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn't have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?

    My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a 'household' project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.

    I'd really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn't have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!

    Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that's Google Calendar I think, isn't Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you're degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?

    Yeah to some extent I suppose a calendar colab would get some of the way there, but I don't think it gets as far as sharing to-do items between two different users. Maybe there's a way to set it up to work that way, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll look into it!

    Hey, sorry, I realise this is like, a month ago… but I thought I would be able to help you out! Tasks are actually just IMAP items, just like emails, meetings and notes. The way to collaborate with an IMAPS Tasks list is to share that list with another user - your underlying provider should have guidance on how to do that. Usually the way it works behind the scenes is that a “guest” account is created for the person you want to share with, unless you’re both using the same platform, in which case mailbox access permissions can simply be added. But you don’t need to worry about the specifics, really - the important takeaway from this is that tasks.org is not responsible for sorting it out, it’s down to your caldav provider - usually, your email provider!
