Planners
I literally cannot find a good planner and it’s driving me crazy.
A good planner would:
- Follow GTD - capture with an inbox, tags, etc.
- Be native - I don’t want a slow unresponsive electron app
- Be open-source - I dont want people spying on what I’m actually doing
- Have an easy to use phone app - so I can check, update or add tasks from anywhere quickly
- Sync with git - reliable, easy, sustainable sync that doesnt require use of a cloud service
- Not be bloated - we don’t need timers (super productivity) or calculators (taskwarrior) in our task managers
- Have do and due dates - one of the best features from things (app on iOS and macOS), saying when you’ll do something but also keeping the date it’s due for (i.e. assignments, projects)
Is there anything?
There literally nothing that ticks all of these boxes. It’s shocking. Regardless, I would say that dstask is probably the best at the moment, but it’s still a bit clunky, lacking an actual phone app and do dates, which is pretty critical to my work.
So, in conclusion
I’m probably going to have to make one of these things myself.
