My wife and I have been struggling to find a decent app that we can use to check things off. Primarily, we’d be using it as a grocery list, but ideally I’d love for the same app to be able to handle her long-term “honey do list” projects, and for that one cloud-syncing is a must.

So far we’ve tried Apple Notes (buggy on her phone, but not mine), Google Keep (app won’t stay in the list when phone is locked. Also, privacy. All of a sudden we’re getting ads for stuff we’ve added; no thank you), and AnyList (company keeps all the decent features behind a paywall, so I don’t know if we’d actually like it).

Thanks for your thoughts!

I really like Nextcloud Tasks. It can sync with many apps: Tasks.org (Android), Reminders (Apple devices), Endeavour (Linux), and more.

Also you can have shared lists such as a shared grocery list that can both add two while still maintaining separate accounts.

If you dont want to host your own Nextcloud, there are third party providers you can use such as woelkli.com.

https://usememos.com for something simple if you can selfhost the server. Companion app for ios/android.

For grocery, KitchenOwl. And you can add custom items. Doesn't really work as a todo list though.

Different than what I expected, but could definitely work for groceries. Thanks!

Check out Joplin. It is pretty powerful, but can also just be used for simple checklists.

I use a combination of OpenTasks, Joplin, and the standard calendar app on my Android phone. I sync that through Nextcloud with OpenSync. On the desktop I use Joplin and Thunderbird. Thunderbird handles the task and calendar data.

Joplin is a note taking app but it does have to do but I have never tried them. I tend to just make lists in my notes directly. Then for repeating or scheduled to do stuff I use OpenTasks and for appointments the calendar.

Hi, I haven't seen it suggested yet so I'll go ahead: Simplenote (https://simplenote.com). My SO and I use it for shopping and haven't had any issues.

Looks great! I’ll check it out, thanks.
