LibreTube for Android. YouTube just has too many ads.

TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that's so good

Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)

I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”

May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn't collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it's packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.

Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly

I've tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn't have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?

My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a 'household' project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.

I'd really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn't have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!

Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that's Google Calendar I think, isn't Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you're degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?

[–] CarbonConscious@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah to some extent I suppose a calendar colab would get some of the way there, but I don't think it gets as far as sharing to-do items between two different users. Maybe there's a way to set it up to work that way, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll look into it!

Hey, sorry, I realise this is like, a month ago… but I thought I would be able to help you out! Tasks are actually just IMAP items, just like emails, meetings and notes. The way to collaborate with an IMAPS Tasks list is to share that list with another user - your underlying provider should have guidance on how to do that. Usually the way it works behind the scenes is that a “guest” account is created for the person you want to share with, unless you’re both using the same platform, in which case mailbox access permissions can simply be added. But you don’t need to worry about the specifics, really - the important takeaway from this is that tasks.org is not responsible for sorting it out, it’s down to your caldav provider - usually, your email provider!

Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.

Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴‍☠️

Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.

Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.

Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.

Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).

Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.

Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.

Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.

Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.

Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)

Smart Dock

Classic PowerMenu

Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid

Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.

Runners up:

Download Progress ++ and Media Bar

I think this would be the summarized list.

Just as an FYI - tasks.org and iOS Reminders are compatible if you use a CalDAV provider as the underlying source. EteSync also works, but not very well, so I’d suggest CalDAV.

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw something like that when I knew about tasks.org, unfortunately I don't have my Mac right now to test it, but I will once I get it back!

[–] Blake@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I have had it set up and working, let me know if you need help :)
