TickTick would be hard to replace. Ive yet to find another cross-platform reminders app that’s so good
Most of my other fav apps (Voyager for Lemmy, Bitwarden, NextCloud, NeoStore) could be replaced if I needed pretty easily (altho itd be a downgrade)
May I recommend Tasks? Not only is it open source and doesn’t collect nearly as much information as TickTick apparently does (according to Play Market), but it’s packed full of features, and also interfaces with a bunch of other apps, like Google Calendar and Google Drive for backups.
Edit: it also is still maintained and updated regularly
I will check it out but, unless I’m just missing it, it doesn’t seem to have an iOS/iPad app. That unfortunately might be enough to be a dealbreaker
I’ve tried to get into Tasks.org a few times, and I really like just about everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is that is seems like it doesn’t have any collaboration features - can anyone tell me otherwise?
My partner and I have been making really good use of Todoist and its (admittedly limited) collaboration features - we have a ‘household’ project, and anything on that list is visible to both of us and can be assigned to a person.
I’d really love to get on a proper FOSS solution, but so far many of them are missing collaboration. Vikunja is really cool and has collaboration, but doesn’t have any widgets atm (important for my scatter-brain). Still on the hunt!
Hmm, it says it can synchorize with your Google account - that’s Google Calendar I think, isn’t Google Calendar collaborative? Or if you’re degoogled - are any of the alternatives collaborative, like EteSync or CalDAV?
Yeah to some extent I suppose a calendar colab would get some of the way there, but I don’t think it gets as far as sharing to-do items between two different users. Maybe there’s a way to set it up to work that way, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll look into it!
I didn’t read close enough and thought you said TikTok. I thought to myself, “TikTok has reminders?!?”

Sync for Lemmy, Voyager and Summit, if I need to narrow it down to three Lemmy clients.
Google Photos with Pixelifly 🏴☠️
Telegram to discuss about custom ROMs and talk with my gf.
Spark Mail because I love Inbox Zero, also has some nice team features.
Spotify for music, ViMusic as a close second.
Google Chrome (looking to replace it with Ice Raven, Firefox when it gets full extension support).
Feedly and Feeder, the one to discover and manager plus multi platform, the second because I think it is a superior RSS app, used along with Discovery Killer to replace cringe Google Discover.
Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) for password management.
Showly synced with Trak.tv to manage my TV shows/Anime and Movies.
Todoist (looking to replace it with Tasks.org, but I really need this to be multiplatform, just as with Feedly), also testing with Ruppu for simpler stuff.
Droidify to handle all these awesome Open Source mess ;)
Smart Dock
Classic PowerMenu
Ice Box and App Manager/SD Maid
Franco Kernel Manager and Magisk.
Runners up:
Download Progress ++ and Media Bar
I think this would be the summarized list.

Pixelifly for Google Photos allows you to spoof the Google Photos app to the Pixel XL, meaning we get full quality unlimited storage for the photos and videos (requires root).
Smart Dock is a dock which places in the bottom of your screen for quick access to apps and system actions, it can be used to replace the Android app switcher and Android Buttons, but I only use it for multitasking and accessing my favorite apps quickly.
Classic PowerMenu allows you to have your Gpay stuff when you hold the power button, I don’t use it because my country does not support it lol, I mainly liked it because I like the quick access to the smart devices, also requires root.
Download Progress and Media Bar add a tiny bar near the statusbar, one for downloads from every app (no need to pull down QS 😂) media bar for all music and video apps, also lets you to rewind, forward and pause from there, as many other features.

I tried tons of third party apps (Omnifocus, Ulysses, Agenda, Things, Fantastical, Pro Tools…) but always end up using Apple’s stock apps because I love simplicity and I discovered that with my overthinking bad habit, having a good but simple/limited app is more efficient than an overkilled one.
If you’re on iOS I’d give Memmy a shot. It’s very similar to Apollo, and I’m really liking it. The devs are great too
If you like Memmy id recommend giving Bean a go too.
I tried bean in the early stages and didn’t really like the interface. I’ll try it again now that it’s out of test flight but I’ve really enjoyed Memmy so far.
Thanks for the advice but I already tried Memmy and a bunch of others and I always ended up back to using WefWef webapp, so I’ll stick to Voyager
That’s fair. It all comes down to preferences in the end.
