Taskwarrior on Desktop and Taskwarrior + Termux on Android is the most flexible, private, open and lightweight TODO manager I've ever used. No eye candy whatsoever, just pure power. I've been using the combo for a few years now, give it a look.
OMG that is AWESOME
Seems like users need to have an (Office 365/Outlook) account with Microsoft to use To-Do. Big turndown, most of my colleagues are using Macs and have no need for Microsoft (no, not even Office), seems we need to switch (again).
what do you use instead of MSOffice?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use Google Keep for this. Works well enough. When Microsoft bought Wunderlist I moved away from it as I guessed it would be replaced by a lesser product (at least initially) and probably folded into Office 365.
I mustn't be the only who thinks it's ironic to move to a Google product/service in hope of avoiding something disappearing. ;)
For now at least it seems Google is putting work into Keep so I hope it won't disappear anytime soon.
Unfortunately having a todo/notes app that allows for account controlled sharing is tricky to do without some kind of service. Unless you want to get all ghetto and build something that works on top of something like Dropbox but that gets problematic as Dropbox isn't designed to be used that way.
I built my own test program that used a protected-shared Google Sheet as its data source but at that point you might as well just use Keep!
Damn, now I need to move faster. My app must be ready by the time they close Wunderlist. I expected an eventual closure, but not that soon. I've spent the last two years developing a todo app that would be a good replacement for Wunderlist (and Astrid, if anyone still remembers that). The app will include with some major / critical features both those apps lacked: proper hierarchies / first-class subtasks, automatica…
Why would you write a ~9k “loc” long spec over 6 month instead of coding it directly ? The only reason I can think of, is if you want to out-source the development. Is there any good reason to work this way on a one-man project ?

In terms of product - it's as simple to use as Wunderlist, but does have a few extra features. And they are cross platform like Wunderlist.
(I'm not affiliated with them. Just a happy user.)
Sparrow, Sunrise, Wunderlist... all the good apps just get bought and killed.
self hosting where possible from now on for me Wunderlist was super useful - fast, all devices in sync, excellent browser version starting to rethink using so many hosted services now - Zerigo is closing too in 10 days - that was another service a lot of time had been invested in setting up it feels like the better a service is the more chance the team gets borged and the app shut down
Then I put my cane away because as much as I wave it at clouds, I will still use cloud services over having to host my own.

(before the obvious objection: exceptions are toy programs which you write to find out how to build something, in which you focus on the technical aspects. The technical aspects ('how does it work') don't matter for the end user (= your potential customer), they only care about 'what does it do'.)
