I like todo lists, and I like time blocking so I can schedule out specific hours to work on each task. However I have yet to find an app that combines these cleanly.

Features I am looking for:

  • Todo list that allows nested lists, and adding details to each item (due date, more detailed instructions, etc.)
  • Seamless integration with a calendar, so I can assign a given todo item to a date and time
  • Adjustable time durations. Not every task is exactly 1 hour.
  • Accessible and syncable across PC and Android,
  • Freeee…?

Nice to have:

  • Sync with Google Calendar/Tasks
  • Color-coding tasks

    https://tasks.org/

    When combined with Davx5 it will sync to a server. Integrates with calendars as you desire, I think (my workflow doesn’t include the time blocking but the tasks show up on a calendar and you can specify their duration but I’m not certain about the time blocking).

    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.

        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 list of tasks (e.g Personal tasks, College tasks, etc)

          Ah, that explains it. I removed the “Start time” field for tasks because I never used it, and then forgot about it.
