I'm looking for a simple to-do list, that preferably is cloud-synced. I'd like something with a relatively light-weight, simple interface, similar to Any.Do or #fetchnotes. I was using CheckMark Pro, but it is really WAY overkill for what I want.

My biggest criteria is that I want to be able to set a task to repeat, some interval from the date it is completed. Most of them let you repeat every 6 months or 2 weeks or whatever, from the due date. But take this example:

Task with due date of 5/30. Task set to repeat every 6 months from completion. I complete the task, marking it done, on 5/13. The next occurrence should now repeat 6 months from 5/13 (the completion date), not from 5/30 (the original due date).

And of course whatever reminder is set (2 weeks for example) should be relative to the new due date, 5/13 in the example above.

Most of the one's I've looked at either are not cloud-synced. And I've not found any others than CheckMark Pro that allow the next occurrence to repeat based on COMPLETION date rather than DUE date.

Astrid has support for scheduled reminders based on completion date.

Cloud support is also present - tasks sync with astrid.com

reminder

Also Remember The Milk allows a user to schedule due dates depending on the completion of a task - one needs to enter "after x days" instead of "every x days". Android and iOS apps available.

  • Stupid, I know, but boy does that Astrid icon irk me! LOL . I didn't realize they'd added this repeat mode though, I'll have to check it out again. Modern launchers mostly let you change the icon for shortcuts anyway. B)

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the default calendar allows you to repeat events. The following repeat options exist:

  • None
  • Daily
  • Weekly (every Sunday)
  • Every 2 weeks (Sunday)
  • Monthly (every last Sun)
  • Monthly (on day 29)
  • Yearly (on April 29)

NOTE: The dates are Sunday, because it's Sunday here.

  • No. None of those repeat options meet the requirements. Those are simply hardcoded repeats. I need it to dynamically adjust the repeat date based on the completion date.

Google Tasks Organizer Lite by Tinjasoft does that.

  • Are you affiliated to Any.do by any chance, or just a happy user? If you are affiliated the rules of this site require you to mention this in your answer.

    Happy user of course. Although I would like to be able to choose pospone time (you currently can only choose to pospone by 15m, 1h, 3h, tomorrow)

    Last I checked though, it does not have the one requirement I really need, which is repeat interval based on completion date. If I complete the task early, the next reminder needs to come up 6 months earlier, from the date COMPLETED, not from the last due date. Unless they've since added this? I did always like the LOOK of any.do, it is beautiful, but I really do need this feature.
