It is half-baked. I'm migrating the Android app to Compose Multiplatform to target Android + desktop, and eventually iOS. There is a mountain of work left to do! If you used the installer from tasks.org/download you should find Ta

Sorry for the late response! Tasks supports infinite depth subtasks for offline, CalDAV, or EteSync tasks. Google Tasks are limited to a single level

As far as I know you cannot disable this protection. Even if you sideload F-Droid itself, it can't install other apps.

Tasks exports json backup files, but editing these and importing them would not be convenient. You could synchronize with CalDAV or EteSync and look for a CLI client (e.g. https://calcurse.org )

Tasks has two features you might be interested in One is the ability to schedule a repeating task based on the completion date rather than the due date. The other is to hide a task until a particular date I use these two features together f

You should be able to have all three installed at the same time Open up your device's settings, click on apps, and make sure Tasks.org is not there. If it is, tap on it, tap on the overflow menu, and select 'Uninstall for all user

That is bizarre, and now that you mention it, perhaps this is related to https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/971

The F-Droid version is built by the F-Droid build machine, not me, so it has a different signature. If you have the Google Play release installed then Android will only allow upgrades that are signed by me. If you uninstall the Google Play

I use Apple Reminders on my desktop, but the Apple Reminders app is fairly basic and doesn't support things like subtasks or tags. And unfortunately the app abandoned the CalDAV protocol in iOS 13/macOS 10.15 Technically the Apple

Currently the Nextcloud Tasks (web) app offers the greatest feature parity with the app. Thunderbird + Lightning + TbSync is another option. There are some others but I haven't used very many. I've heard from a couple users that r

I'm in the same boat! You can download the F-Droid APK and sideload it with adb

The app supports infinite-depth subtasks, but there is no way to link two tasks at the same level Subtasks are themselves tasks, so their priorities can be set separately from their parents. Collapsible subtasks will be displayed in searche

When you edit an existing task there is a big button on the app bar with a checkbox that completes the task. The button is not visible on a new task. Since you toggled on the "hide" option it will not be displayed at all. If you t

Yes it does! The CalDAV URL is https://caldav.fastmail.com/ . If you have 2FA enabled you will need to set up an app-specific password. E-mail support@tasks.org if you have trouble getting set up

I haven't looked too deeply into this, but I believe there are a few features supported by Tasks.org that aren't currently supported through DAVx5

Nextcloud supports list sharing, you can find some free providers at nextcloud.com/signup. EteSync also supports list sharing. The app itself doesn't include any sharing functionality, but if you set up list sharing through your p

Tasks handles synchronization itself (using libraries released by the DAVx5 developer). There is a request for DAVx5 integration on the issue tracker ( https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/554 ), which I am th

When Yahoo originally shut down Astrid I re-released it the same day under the namespace "org.astrid" without changing the name or graphics. It was predictably yanked for infringement. So I thought long and hard and came up with t

I would love to work on an iOS app, but I'm not sure if I'm able to (legally)? Perhaps someone could weigh in as I really don't know what I'm talking about... This app is based on the source code from Astrid Tasks, which

Thanks! Yes everything is handled on your device. If Tasks is killed then you won't get any notifications. If you have any trouble you can visit tasks.org/notifications, or send an e-mail to support@tasks.org

Thanks for the feedback! I plan to implement #1, and I get a few complaints about #2. I'm not sure what to do about it, but currently there are preferences to hide the check button altogether, as well as an option to save when back is
