“Honestly, Todoist is probably still your best bet here if you want that deep iOS integration plus a decent Linux client (via the web app or desktop wrapper). Most open-source stuff just lags way behind on the native mobile features like lock screen widgets.”
“Why don't you just sign up to Todoist as a Calendar in Apple Calendar. I do that and it updates pretty quickly, that way I can see my todoist tasks in my Apple Watch at a glance.”
“So far the best I could find is Todoist, but I‘m hoping to find something better. I found an open-source app Mindwtr, but it isn‘t very mobile-aware regarding the system features.”
“I love todoist for how easiy is it to add tasks but also to organize them with priorities days etc with simple shortcuts. What am missing is the ability to give each task a estimate of time to be completed so i can better plan my days”
“I would pay extra for a Personal & Work profile so I can firewall off those 2 things completely. I'm, still using Apple Reminders for personal tasks and would gladly have it all in Todoist of I could cleanly separate the two.”
“Separately, I’m almost done testing a Home Assistant automation that announces Todoist items with the @Announce label over my kitchen Echo. This shortcut is the missing piece to having any quick phone reminders I happen to set being announced at the right time the same as all my other reminders.”
“App Intents and proper Shortcuts support would likely resolve most of these issues, but I know the Todoist developers are lothe to add platform specific features”
“I have a Siri Shortcut on my iPhone that automatically pulls my Apple Reminders into Todoist whenever I open the Todoist app. It sucks that I have to do that, but it’s now only a mini inconvenience.”
“Out of interest, what are you using Apple Reminders for, that can't be accomplished in Todoist itself? I'm not sure I've ever used Reminders, apart from opening it once or twice early on.”
“Yeah the Todoist API and I think AppleScript for the reminders part. (And really it was Claude that did the work, and it’s been a year since I did it so I don’t exactly remember.)”
