 Hey everybody welcome back to the channel today. I'm going to be talking about the best to-do apps for Linux now I'm calling them the the best. These are just the ones that I found that are reasonably okay really to-do apps are very personal things kind of like calendars and The one you like the most is the one you like the most might not and might not be the one that I like the most So the one I like the most happens to be closed-source and I'll talk about that the end the other ones on this list I believe are all open-source. So take that for what you will most of the time I recommend use flaw software this time the one I use just happens to be the best one out there for me So before we start just in the comments below Let me know what the to-do app that you use the most is and why and because It's one of those things like that. There's just so many to-do apps out there I've chosen five of them to put on this list, but there are like ten bajillion Out there so chances are maybe you've probably found one that I haven't so let me know what those are So let's go ahead and jump in the first one that I'm going to cover is called planner now as you can see this looks weird and This is not what it will look like for you Probably if you use a desktop environment like, you know, Katie your plasma and you know, whatever this is gonna look fine But if you use a window manager, it does not look good at least with the UWM I'm not sure if this would look the same and BS PWM or whatever or any of the others This is just what it looks like It's a shame that doesn't work well in window managers because this is probably the one that I would use if It looked better and that's just I guess that's just a shame The best part about this is if you use to-do list, this will actually sync with to-do list So you could use the mobile phone app of to-do list that's to sync tax tasks back and forth And that's, you know, really awesome. None of the other ones really truly have a sync feature to an actual app And to do is with the to-do is integration here. You also get the auto completion and the really cool I don't know what they call it. Basically it says I'm going to do a task tomorrow and it knows that I'm saying I'm going to do a test tomorrow So it schedules it for tomorrow and puts it on tomorrow's list Same thing if you I'm going to do it this task next week at 2 on Tuesday at 4 p.m It schedules it for Tuesday at 4 p.m. Next week. This will do that if you have to-do list installed There's also a lot of tagging things that you can do here You don't have to use to-do list if you don't want to with us. You can just use this as a standalone to-do app. I Believe there are other syncing capabilities here. I'm not actually sure See the the issue here is I don't think I can actually get to the No, maybe preferences. Yep. Here we go Yeah, it doesn't look like there's other syncing capability here So it's just to-do list, but there are some other customization things that you can do That aren't related to to-do list if you're not using it. So that's cool You can also obviously change it to dark mode just nice And and arc dark is here. So winning for that now like I said This one works best if you do sync with to-do list because a lot of the features I think really do revolve around to-do list. So I really wish it worked well with window managers But a loss. I'm just gonna have to live with my disappointment. Let's go into the next one The next one. I'm going to cover is to-do or to-do You are I Don't care for this one all that much mainly because it's not very well designed. I'm not actually sure if it's still being updated or not I think it is. Let me go look and see It's kind of still being updated the last update for the AUR package was in August of 2020 So, you know take that for what you will It's okay. If you want a just standalone task manager that does literally nothing else Use this one. It does have some options. So you can customize a few of the you know a few of the way that it presents your tasks to you and Some of the key bindings and stuff. It's cool and it does just enough to You know work as a to-do app allow all the other ones on this list do more than this one does They all also look better than this one. I think that this is a cute app. I'm not sure Personally if you're going if you need a cute app I would just use one of the k-suite stuff because Who the hell knows what it's actually called But Katie has their own little suite of Productivity applications that come with like K-mail and all that kind of stuff. So you could just use that That's what I would do. I Do not have any of the k-suite stuff installed on this computer Mainly because it would require a whole bunch of kd. You know dependencies I'm just not gonna do that. All right, so let's move on to the next one Okay, so the next one is an app called go for it. Now. This is a g2k application It's fairly well-designed. It's a little weird So it's most I would say that this one would work better for like Like grocery shopping lists than really to do to do apps, but it does to do less. Okay, I Say that because Unlike the other ones you can actually have separate lists. So like you can have like It's kind of similar like just during projects and like to do is or something where you could go through and just you know I you have a writing one and work one or a work list and a writing list and all these things That's kind of cool It stores them in text files So you could transfer these to other apps that maybe read will read text files quite a few these apps will actually let you do that I know I'm pretty sure to do or which we just saw will do that I think and this one will do that and I think the the next one. I'm going to show you will do that as well I'm not sure. We'll have to see I'm Maybe can own to do will do that too. I don't have going on to do installed But anyways, so that allows you to kind of create your own syncing capabilities and That's nice because other than that. There's no other syncing capabilities here. I Find it a little clunky though because We have all these big buttons and stuff and then the tests are really small now that might be Like I might be able to make it look a little bit better if I you know change the size of it but For the most part this one is just a little weirdly designed in some ways The cool thing is is this if you use the Pomodoro system where basically you work 25 minutes or something and then take a five-minute break and You can just keep doing that throughout the day This has a Pomodoro timer built right in and it can be associated with tasks So if you know you you can create a Pomodoro tile timer for this task Then once the task is done then the timer stops or whatever That's really cool. So if that's something that's you know, you prefer That this one might be the one for you. Let's move on to the next one. The next one is Super productivity all one word. I believe if you're looking for it in the AUR This one is Probably the most full-featured well-designed app on the list. That's open source. I'm extra I'm gonna say it's open source. I'm gonna have to go look okay So I just went and checked it is open source. It's under the MIT license. So that's a good thing It has a lot of options and a lot of settings and the ability to sync things to like Google Drive and webdav and stuff. So that's cool as keyboard shortcuts and The Pomodoro timer and this one is also built in I I Believe also has like habit tracking and stuff. So it's really cool and very well designed. I do have some gripes with it and One of them is that you just can't change this background apparently. That's just I don't know why that bothers me so much and maybe Yeah It just apparently you can't change it. I also Don't use it because it doesn't have the really cool predictive, you know thing that's to do is test so, you know that's disappointing but I would probably if if planner worked better, I would use planner This is the second one on my list that I'd probably use if it just didn't have the weird quirks that it has I probably Maybe someday Let's put it that way We'll give this a try because I do like the fact that it's open source because like I said the one That uh, I use is not open source. Let's actually go look at the one that I use Okay, so this is to do is now to do is is close source And this is actually the to do is electron app that is maintained by Just a regular old developer. It's not actually associated with to do us in any way as far as I know to do is does have their own Application but it's available as a snap or flat pack And it is an AUR, but I can't get it for whatever to actually launch once I install it from the AUR So there's some weirdness going on there, but I like to do this for A few reasons one it has it's a mobile application so I can sync these back and forth between my phone and my desktop that's Paramount for me because I want to be able to access my at my tasks while I'm on the go not that I go anywhere but whatever I also Like the way that it actually allows you to create tasks So if I create a new task here to just say I want to do this task Tuesday At 4 p.m. And it will schedule it for Tuesday at 4 p.m. And there are several things I could do I do this task next week And it will show it to me the first day of the next week I can also at a time I can have I could do that do it this way do this task every day And it would repeat it every day and I could just do it every day at 4 p.m And it would do every day at 4 p.m None of the other ones really have this except for planner planner will actually do this because it integrates very well with the doist so Like I said, I really wish planner would work well on window managers Really, this is the premier feature why I use to do this This the syncing capability I could do without the syncing thing because I could A lot of those ones that I showed you will allow you to export via text dot txt files or Some kind of common separated values or something And I could figure out with some kind of system for that But this predictive thing that or whatever they call it. I'm like I can't remember what they what to do is call this But this is just a feature that I I miss every time I try something else Like I don't want to have to go through manually schedule things because this here doesn't make me manually do it so that's just you know Kind of the reason why I do do things the way I do it with to do this so it was a disjointed video as per usual, but I hope that you've got something out of it I there were a couple that I didn't cover I didn't cover genom to do That one just didn't make the list for whatever reason I think it's okay. I haven't used it like forever like since it first was released. I think and But it's been I guess it's been forever as you use it, but it's probably pretty good There are also several Browser extensions that you could probably use that are Fairly decent, but these are the ones that I found like I said at the beginning There are a million gajillion of these things. So if you use something that's not on this list That's really good. Let me know in the top the comments below Also, if there's anything on these on the list that you use every day Let me know why because I would love to use one of the open source ones I would like like I don't prefer using closed source stuff. I would just prefer but that One feature of to do is keeps me there. Anyways, thank you for watching If you enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up.
