Tasks app recommendation with notifications? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

I'm desperate for a good Todo app with proper Android notifications support, or at lease web push notifications from the browser.

Best I could find was Vikunja, but email notifications aren't very practical for multiple daily tasks with reminders.

Lately I've been trying to use Obsidian as my tracker for things to do, but it's just not that convenient for me and doesn't trigger notifications.

I know selfhosted push notifications isn't a simple problem to solve, so I don't have much hope got a solution.

I'm so close to going back to Todoist, which to me is the gold standard, you guys are my last attempt ๐Ÿ™

Baikal backend, DAVx5 android app and tasks.org android app.

Thats what you want. All open source.

Been using for notifications for a while and its great.

If super productivity + nextcloud ends up not being a good fit, i'll give this a try, thanks :)

I'm using a similar stack, Radicale on backend, DAVx5, and Calengoo as app.

Calengoo is not open source but you can buy it directly from the developer without Google integration. It's the only calendar app I've found that also does tasks properly, in that if I dismiss a task without explicitly marking it completed the notification will come back. It looks a bit strange out of the box but it has multiple themes and it's super configurable.

The one thing I don't like is that it uses a direct connection to CalDAV to mark tasks completed, instead of going through DAVx5 (not sure if it's a limitation in the Android chain or what).

yeah i do exactly this and it's very stable and unproblematic. has made a significant difference in my life

Yeah I guess I should of noted that this was like one of the first things I selfhosted 2 years ago and its like one of the very few things that never breaks or annoys me. It just works very reliably.

Plus you also self host your calendar and contacts list with this.
