It’s to avoid trackers and/or paywalls, and also to preserve it just in case. But yes, to each their own.

When creating a task, you can choose a Start, End Date and a Timer.

You also have to select the Calendar where you want Tasks.org to save your task.

In Nextcloud is the same while creating tasks, but it’ll create a Calendar for every kind of task.

I’m using Tasks.org with DAVx5 (android) and an external Nextcloud hosting.

You can set blocks of time, nested tasks and it adds them to the Nextcloud calendar. I think Tasks.org can sync with Google Tasks, but it has limitations.

My only step left is self-hosting Nextcloud.

I gotta say I’m pretty good finding stuff, but i swear Google makes it more complicated for me. In DDGO I only need to change words, in Google I need to filter out half the results to get something human.

But that was when I used to use DDGO, I now self-host SearXNG and only use DDGO for simple searches and when using my phone.

I guess Google needs constant use to give something better(?, which would be another reason for me not to use it hehe

I always see people saying Google provides better results, but to me it’s awful. I don’t even use DDGO anymore, but Google only shows ads and SEO optimized results that look AI generated. Is this common or am I just an isolated case?

Yeah, I use it for course notes and so, but it’s kind of expensive for where I live, so I use it in pair with pCloud and a backup in other cloud.

Btw, if you say it for the to do apps, I’ve tried, but it just doesn’t work for me as a to do hehe

• Sesame Shortcuts. I know there are launcher with similar tools included, but I also use Nova Launcher and paid for it. I’ve been thinking to migrate to alternatives, but I haven’t done it yet.
• Microsoft To Do. The alternatives are incomplete, ugly or don’t have the same capabilities. I’d gladly pay for any FOSS and Privacy respectful To Do app, but I guess setting up sync servers may be hard. I’ll give a try for tasks.org again in some days.

I’m glad I don’t get to say Notion anymore, Anytype.io is missing some features, but I can manage to live without them and Notion was getting worse with time.
