Alternatives to Tasks.org
Open source Android tasks with CalDAV sync
Tasks.org ranks #9 of 20 in Task managers, with an Alt Score of 71. It is licensed under GPL-3.0, freemium from $0.99/year and available on Android. 9 of 11 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Android users who want a privacy-focused, open-source to-do list app, especially those who already rely on CalDAV, Google Tasks, or EteSync for calendar/task sync across devices.
A free, ad-free GPLv3 task manager with lists, tags, filters, infinite-depth subtasks, manual sorting, recurring tasks, and location-based reminders. It syncs via Tasks.org's own service, Google Tasks, CalDAV/DAVx5, EteSync (end-to-end encrypted), or DecSync CC, making it compatible with Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Reminders. It works fully offline and never shares your data.
You create tasks and organize them into lists with tags, due dates, and reminders, nesting subtasks as needed and sorting or filtering the view. Connect an account (Google Tasks, a CalDAV server, or EteSync) to sync tasks across devices, including a desktop app (alpha) and Pebble smartwatch support.
