Looking for an alternative to apps like TickTick and Todoist but I don’t want a subscription to deal with. I can justify a one time purchase of a todo app though as long as it’s reasonable. Any recommendations?

  • If you really want an app, Tusk is great, even just the free version. No ads. Nice colorful icons. Smooth interface, good scheduling options. Some functions are paywalled though, like calendar sync. I can’t remember if premium is a purchase or a subscription.

    But really pen and paper is the best, imo. You can get little pocket notebooks. Much more satisfying and less restrictive than an app, if you don’t need it to also be giving you notifications.

    Edit: Tody is great for household cleaning todos/scheduling. Also free and ad free, except for some paywalled functions.
