Who each one suits
Planify

- Keeping tasks on the local disk with no account

- Google Tasks or Microsoft To Do users who want a fuller Android client
Worth knowing
Planify
- Linux only: it is distributed on Flathub or built from source, with no Windows, macOS, web or mobile version.
- It has no sync service of its own, so reaching tasks on a phone means using the Todoist or Nextcloud apps.
- Planify is not created by, affiliated with or supported by Doist, the company behind Todoist.
- Development is funded by donations; the site lists Patreon, PayPal, Liberapay and Ko-fi.
Tasks.org
- There is no iPhone or web app. Apple devices reach Tasks.org lists through Apple Reminders over CalDAV.
- The desktop apps are labeled alpha and need a subscription, and the maker says matching the Android app's features will take a while.
- Tasks.org Cloud sync needs the $2.99 a month or $29.99 a year subscription; the name-your-price tier does not include it.
- On Google Play installs, custom themes and icons and sync through DAVx⁵, CalDAV or EteSync all need a subscription.
Key features
Planify
- Todoist, Nextcloud and CalDAV sync
- Syncs with a Todoist account or with Nextcloud and CalDAV servers such as Radicale and Baïkal, with several accounts at once. Nextcloud Deck boards sync two-way as projects.
- Projects, sections, labels and filters
- Tasks are grouped into projects and sub-projects with sections, labels, priorities and custom filters, and each project shows a progress indicator.
- Board view and calendar
- A project can be shown as a board for visual planning, and calendar integration displays scheduled events next to tasks.
- Quick Add with natural-language dates
- A global keyboard shortcut opens Quick Add, which parses dates written in English or Spanish and uses @ for labels, # for projects and ! for priorities.
- Reminders, recurrence and attachments
- A task can carry several reminders, a recurrence pattern, file attachments and links, with Markdown allowed in its title and description.
- Command-line interface
- The bundled CLI adds, lists and updates tasks and exports a JSON backup. Every command returns JSON, so it can be piped into scripts.
Tasks.org
- Offline lists with deep subtasks
- Tasks, lists, tags and reminders are unlimited and need no account or internet connection. Filters, manual sorting and subtasks nested to any depth are included.
- Recurring tasks and location reminders
- Tasks can repeat and send notifications, and reminders can be tied to a location. Both are part of the free Android app.
- Sync with services you already use
- Google Tasks and Microsoft To Do connect for free. Sync through DAVx⁵, a CalDAV server, EteSync or DecSync CC needs an in-app subscription.
- Tasks.org Cloud
- The maker's CalDAV-based sync service adds list sharing with up to five guests, an email-to-task inbox and app passwords for clients such as Apple Reminders.
- Desktop apps in alpha
- Early-access apps for macOS, Windows and Linux sync with Tasks.org Cloud, Google Tasks, CalDAV and EteSync. One subscription unlocks both Android and desktop.
- Open source without ads
- The Android and desktop apps are licensed under the GNU GPLv3 and show no ads. Installs from F-Droid unlock in-app features without a subscription.
