session-settings VS planify

elementary OS provides an override file that works around this issue by ensuring Files gets first priority for opening folders.

We're actually very close to a fully functional, install-from-official-repository, Pantheon on Archlinux. In theory, the official release of elementary OS 6.0 should solve nearly all the remaining issues. Those issues are primarily things like not having any official release version, which prevents a software from being published in an official Archlinux repository.

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
