Tracks VS tasks

Tracks https://www.getontracks.org/

The "single ticket per client per month" sounds interesting. However, I use something called tracks to manage anything that isn't client related.

Tracks - Not a bug tracker

https://www.getontracks.org/ - No mobile friendly view.

The most useful aspect of my to-do list system is that one of my monitors acts as a bit of a dashboard where my events in my calendar and items from my to-do list are written to the current wallpaper using Imagemagick. (Along with a five day weather forecast, my children's school time-tables and a bit of other stuff.)

This way, the info is always visible (when I'm not using that monitor for anything else) so easy to look at at a glance.

One of my to-do lists is simply a text file in Dropbox (so I can also edit it from my phone when not at home). I can also open it fast with a simple key-press on my computer. It tends to be the spot where, as soon as I think of something I have to do, I'll open that file, write a line for it and save it. Then I know it is out of my head and I don't have to worry about trying to remember it any more.

The other to-do list I use is Tracks[0] running in a Docker container. This is used for more organised to-dos and particularly things that I have to do at a future date (currently my must far-flung to-do is for 2026). Things that are to be done down the track I'll also add a show-from date to (either on the day or a little before) so they they're not visible on the main page. I don't need to see them, and doing so only wastes brain cycles when reviewing the current list.

Items in either a particular category, or are visible with a due date get merged in with the calendar for the next seven days and display with their own high-lighting on my wallpaper/dashboard.

Been using this more-or-less for quite a few years now and feel it works quite well. I do have grandiose thoughts of moving to using Taskwarrior as I do have the occasional Trello board or Jira project I wouldn't mind integrating into a holistic miasma, but I would still like a good web interface similar to Tracks to visualise and triage. Could not find something I was comfortable with last I looked.

Personal, look into Tracks (https://www.getontracks.org/)

I'm curious, did you mean https://tasks.org/ or something else?

Kalender mit CalDav und der App "Tasks" auf Android

Tasks.org: Open-source To-Do Lists & Reminders (version 13.6): Fork of Astrid Tasks & To-Do List

tasks for Tasks.org mobile

I thought it was a great idea to find out how certain features are implemented in other people’s projects. I know two open-source apps that are similar to what I want to build: uhabits and tasks.org.

I think it really depends on what your definition of "productive" is.

Let me try and quantify it. I looked through my apps that I installed from F-Droid, then looked at their GitHub issues and picked one [0]. I bet I could implement that in less than a week with 0 Android development experience.

> Every Android version is basically a reboot in many parts of the framework, the device fragmentation is hardly any better than J2ME days, several features are only documented via samples or Google IO talks, Gradle plugins require rewrites between upgrades, and each Android Studio release is a box of surprises what quirks it has.

Does any of that really matter if you're hiring someone into an existing org? Doesn't Android have amazing backwards compatibility? I'm sure I have some dice app from 2012 that still runs. The company is probably targeting some version of Android and isn't changing to the latest one every time a new version is released.

Edit: and neither do some other features such as 'Filters'. I was aware that some of the features would not sync since that was mentioned in the tasks.org website. But I did not expect this to happen since the website specifically says that tags are synced with DecSync CC.

I just kept bringing up replacing Synology with Nextcloud because of the reminder sync issue and the superior web app. If you don't rely heavily on reminders then its not a huge deal. You can read more about this at https://github.com/tasks/tasks/issues/1802

I've been trying out a TON of GTD-related apps over the years and recently settled on tasks.org to complement Google Tasks. Honestly, this is an amazing app, but it lacks features that I really want: A Web interface and integration with other applications. Then a week ago, I moved to Todoist, and while it worked great and provided much of what I wanted, its free account limitations were apparent. Bummer, as I didn't want to pay what they ask for a premium account.
