Curated, verified, and actually free. No trials, no crippled tiers. Star counts and last-activity dates checked by hand, not scraped and forgotten.
Una lista de tareas seria para Android con recurrencia y recordatorios; el escritorio y la sincronización CalDAV son de pago
licenseGPL-3.0
runson your machine
installInstall the Android app from Google Play or F-Droid; an early desktop app is optional
dataTasks are local and offline-first on Android; optional synchronization targets Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Tasks.org Cloud, CalDAV/DAVx5, EteSync, or DecSync
the catch vs Any.doTasks.org is Android-first, with no mature iOS or web client and a much less polished calendar and daily-planning experience than Any.do.
setupLocal Android use is straightforward, but most non-Google/Microsoft synchronization options require an in-app subscription or separately configured sync service, and desktop support is still early

La gente sigue pagando por Any.do porque el software de tareas engancha: la confianza, la velocidad y la captura ubicua importan más que el esquema de la base de datos. El costo recurrente compra casos límite de recurrencia, notificaciones, conflictos de sincronización, APIs de calendario, captura móvil y respaldos, no solo la interfaz visible. If none of that applies to you, any pick above saves $95.88 a year.
Is there a free alternative to Any.do?
Yes: Tasks.org, Vikunja, Microsoft To Do and 1 more. Every tool on this page is either open source or genuinely free to use long-term: no trials, no crippled tiers.
Should I just build my own Any.do?
Our verdict is SÍ. El bucle principal es lo bastante pequeño como para que un agente de código capaz produzca una versión local útil en una sola sesión. Para Any.do, gestiona tareas personales, listas, recordatorios, elementos recurrentes y un flujo de planificación diaria. El límite difícil es la captura móvil, los widgets, las funciones familiares, la integración de calendario y la sincronización, además de la confiabilidad entre dispositivos y el pulido del flujo de trabajo. If you'd rather build, the exact one-shot prompt is free at puedovibecodearlo.app/anydo.
