As far as I know you cannot disable this protection. Even if you sideload F-Droid itself, it can't install other apps.

Tasks exports json backup files, but editing these and importing them would not be convenient. You could synchronize with CalDAV or EteSync and look for a CLI client (e.g. https://…

Tasks has two features you might be interested in One is the ability to schedule a repeating task based on the completion date rather than the due date. The other is to hide a task…

You should be able to have all three installed at the same time Open up your device's settings, click on apps, and make sure Tasks.org is not there. If it is, tap on it, tap on the…

The F-Droid version is built by the F-Droid build machine, not me, so it has a different signature. If you have the Google Play release installed then Android will only allow upgra…

Currently the Nextcloud Tasks (web) app offers the greatest feature parity with the app. Thunderbird + Lightning + TbSync is another option. There are some others but I haven't use…

I'm in the same boat! You can download the F-Droid APK and sideload it with adb

When you edit an existing task there is a big button on the app bar with a checkbox that completes the task. The button is not visible on a new task. Since you toggled on the "hide…

Yes it does! The CalDAV URL is https://caldav.fastmail.com/ . If you have 2FA enabled you will need to set up an app-specific password. E-mail support@tasks.org if you have trouble…

Tasks handles synchronization itself (using libraries released by the DAVx5 developer). There is a request for DAVx5 integration on the issue tracker ( https://github.com/tasks/tas…

I would love to work on an iOS app, but I'm not sure if I'm able to (legally)? Perhaps someone could weigh in as I really don't know what I'm talking about... This app is based on …
