I would like recommendations for an Android / web-based to-do list / reminder application. I was happily using Astrid until a couple of months ago, when they were bought up and mothballed by Yahoo. Something that works with minimal setup, where I essentially stick my items in a list, and it tells me when to do them.
Wunderlist 2 has android (it only speaks english in the phone app, but it does portuguese in the normal online version.
it puts your tasks in the cloud so you can catch up with what you wrote in other services.
I'm amazed by David Allen's GTD at the moment, so I want to recommend it, despite still being on honeymoon effect.
Looking into Wunderlist now.
Don't worry. I read GTD several years ago, and stole plenty of stuff from it.
I want to tack onto this and ask for a solution that provides some privacy, that is where I can run my own server.
I was on Astrid too. I switched to Wunderlist mostly because their import from Astrid worked correctly. Wunderlist is OK, though I can't say I'm completely satisfied with it. Its UI is laggy (on a Nexus 4!) and unreliable, for example the auto-sync often destroys the last task I just typed in, or when I accidentally tap outside the task entry box the text I just typed is lost forever.
I'm looking at alternatives, and the one I like the most so far is Remember the Milk. Last time I tried it (probably a year ago) it was rubbish, but the latest version has a clean and fast native Android GUI and some nice extra functionality (e.g. geofencing). I'm thinking about switching, but it doesn't have import from Wunderlist, so I'll have to move about 200 tasks manually.
I've been happily using http://www.rememberthemilk.com/ to manage my GTD system. It's got a simple, intuitive interface, both on desktop and on Android. I'm not sure if it has the reminder features you're after, since that's not something I've ever wanted.
