# Errands

> Simple open-source to-do app for the GNOME desktop on Linux

Errands is a free, open-source to-do app for the GNOME desktop on Linux, aimed at people who prefer simplicity. It keeps multiple task lists with tasks and sub-tasks, lets each task carry an accent color, and supports drag and drop and importing .ics files. Tasks can sync with Nextcloud or other CalDAV providers, though the developer says only Nextcloud is known to work well. It is distributed as a Flatpak on Flathub.
