planify VS marktext

Not sure where you're looking but source code is here (not sure why they don't link to it?) and last update was about a year ago and there are recent commits.

I just discovered this and really like it, it's a huge improvement over GNOME Todo. My only complaint is that it seems to choke on a large number of (completed) tasks. Though that might be more of an issue with Nextcloud not clearing out completed tasks and a lot of caldav apps have this problem.

Also, Things sells for 45 USD? There are so many competitors in this space it's wild. Todoist, Endeavour, Planner, all the way to Asana.

Such time-based information/TODOs are much better stored in a task manager (such as https://useplanner.com/), with an automated notification reminder that alerts you on the date, so that you don't have to think about it until it reminds you.

No for the not so good news: Both MS To Do and OneNote are not available officially. You can use the web versions or use unofficial apps such as Kuro. But those are based on the web versions as well. Alternatively there are beautiful apps such as Planer which sync with other platforms (such as ios) via Todoist. The same is true for note taking. The Linux native solution here is Simple Note.

I've been using Planner for last few months. It had recurring task support earlier, but was probably removed sometime: https://github.com/alainm23/planner/issues/860

Marktext editor:

Marktext - A Markdown file editor. How to write in Markdown

Well, see comments below but you're wrong. I now huse Marktext and it's simply perfect.

I tried MarkText, but the collapsibility seemed terribly buggy, and a brief internet search did not increase hope.

I normally take Markdown notes with quick sketches from time to time with a Wacom tablet. I've used Xournal++ and Marktext to do all this, exporting my sketches into image files and inserting them into Marktext. However, I am starting to feel fatigued with this workflow and I discovered that Obsidian and the Excalidraw plugin could be an all-in-one solution for what I do, instead of having to work between two apps and exporting my sketches manually.

I have used syncthing + marktext[0] and or ghostwriter[1] depending on the content of my notes. For a daily journal I like to use ghostwriter as it has almost no distraction and it forces me to focus. It just got shifted over to being maintained by the KDE team and I really enjoy it.

I liked marktext over joplin for similar reasons. But I am probably a little overzealous in my search for distraction free note taking. I assume joplin provides more feature sets, I just happened to want less features for what I do on a day to day.

I know I am a little late, but I have had great experience with MarkText (FOSS, a bit buggy, but the best at what it does by far), Ghostwriter (FOSS, a good editor, recently absorbed by KDE), Visual Studio Code/VSCodium with [Markdown Editor](andhttps://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=zaaack.markdown-editor) (a WYSISWG markdown editing extention) and Obsidian (which I think you already have heard of).
