Hello,
I’d like to move on from Google Keep for shopping lists and other similar simple to-do lists.
I’ve checked the thread for task lists, but all of them require you to make tasks one by one, and I’m just looking for a simple list that I can add to by typing something and pressing enter to create a new line.
It would also need to have tick boxes to mark the task as done and ideally move it to a section of tasks that are done.
You know, like a simple to-do list works.
Any recommendations? :)
Edit: I’m going with Quillpad, thank you ropatrick@lemmy.world !
Quillpad is worth looking into.
this seems like exactly what i was looking for, thank you :)
Joplin is great, and I’ve been testing https://tikski.com/ lately and really enjoying it.
My wife was a Keep freak and I was able to get her to switch over to Jotty. It is self hosted though.
My partner and I use Obsidian and Obsidian Sync using this tutorial.

It’s a little buggy at times, and was somewhat oainful to set up, but it’s been working for a couple years now.
It syncs to all of our devices. What’s cool is I’ve created a recipe template that syncs to the shopping list. So when I uncheck any ingredient in a recipe, it adds it to my shopping list.
I am a barbarian. I just keep my tasks in a list of notes and then put an “X” beside them when they are finished.
I use Fossify Notes from fdroid
didn’t even cross my mind you could do that
that’s respectable :D
I built tinylist.app a few years back and while it’s still chugging along, it’s basically in maintenance mode now.
Holy SCHIIT!
You did it!
I’ve been looking for a genuine Keep alternative for years! Lots of them were either too complicated, missing sharing, or just not even close. But you did it. Now one of us can be in the grocery story, while the other is checking what we need. It’s perfect. And as things get checked of or on, they keep their order! So we can put them in the isle order of the store and we don’t miss things, having to go back and forth.EDIT:
I tested it all on my own and it all seemed to work great. Then while we’re both using it, the shearing stopped updating. Every time we reload the page it checked and unchecked items get reset.
Android and Desktop, Firefox everywhere.Yeah the conflict resolution of the live updates is really tough. It has such spotty usage that I never truly ironed it out. It works fine if it’s not at the same time. This is more a function of the local-first strategy that keeps the UX better. I really have wanted to improve it but didn’t really see a reason to with such low usage.
Tasks.org or any markdown editor plus syncthing.
two recs, nextcloud notes using the quillpad app (you need a nextcloud instance tho) or SilentNotes. Silentnotes has the downside of not having a desktop app (yet, its apparently in the works eventually) so if thats a concern, nextcloud with quillpad is probably a better bet.
NotallyX is the only one I’ve used that has the ability to indent items to create sublists, which I need. its not quite as stable as some options though, I occasionally get a bit of jank. Though I haven’t seen any odd behavior for a while so maybe that has improved, not sure
Edit: meant to say NotallyX. Regular notally doesnt have indentable lists
I’ve switched to Obsidian with the Tasks plug-in. It is not as simple as Keep, but it does have checkboxes (and the “enter to create new task” functionality we both like). I keep it synced across devices via SyncThing on my home server.
didn’t even know obsidian had plugins!
that seems to work, i’m already using obsidian for other kinds of notes :)
what’s slightly annoying is the pop up for “due date, start date, scheduled date” and so on, is it possible to hide that?

Not that I know of 😹
Just saved this to Keep to come back to later
