Sorry, Ken, and thanks for letting me know. That helps a small amount with the Mac vs. Windows imbalance.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. I recently received a Kokuyo Techo Jibun 2019 diary. Similar features to the Self Journal, it appears.

Those interested in multi platform, free and local plus cloud might want to check out something mentioned only once in this thread, also censored from the list as I expected, Microsoft To-do. The strong point apart from the above, integrates into MS online offline Office suite, Word Access excel etc not to mention onedrive cloud storage, free or otherwise. That’s why I contested it with Google suite. These two are multi platform multi app suites. Different dimension to a little app here or there, that might be abandoned by the dev. So also long term strategy.
But I don’t use MS To-do. I was using a couple of others mainly, also not mentioned so far, interesting to see results.
Finally I’m actually using, or trying out, something which is not a task or to-do app. Has calendar views, reminders etc plus has other advantages. I’d recommend looking into other genres of apps with much more features, as long as they have a calendar. Then you’ll find tools which offer a lot more than a mere to-do task app. Just needs a little open minded approach, not the usual laser focussed.

Thanks for the summary. To elaborate a bit, I use 2Do for all my personal tasks, but I also use Todoist, Trello, and Dynalist. I wouldn’t include Dynalist here because I don’t use it as a task manager. But I use Todoist and Trello for collaboration since 2Do doesn’t have collaborative features built in. (Actually, if you sync with Apple Reminders you can have a shared list, but that is too limited for my needs.) I tend to use Todoist for simple projects and Trello for larger event planning. I also use Todoist to keep track of my wishlists (gifts shopping, books to read, films to watch, etc.)

I don’t know/think I was in on this. Anyway, for what it’s worth you can add me to the lists for Todoist and Google Keep. (Not completely happily, though they get the job done better than the alternatives I’ve tried - and I’ve tried/bought a lot.)
