Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro 100% Free
Just like todo.txt cli, this is 100% free (although donations are accepted).
Pro Also comes in a cloudless an Owncloud version
For those who don't care about syncing there is a cloudless version while people who run Owncloud may opt for the Owncloud version.
Pro There is an add to calendar button
This not only tells one's calendar (and thus any devices that sync with your calendar) about the todo, but allows all synced calendars to play an audible alarm when the todo is scheduled to be finished.
Pro Seemless compatibility with todo.txt cli
Let's one sort to-dos by due date then priority
Pro Specifically designed for GTD
Pro Automated Next Steps
Next steps have a separate view. Tasks can be updated sequentially or parallel.
Pro Projects and Tasks can be endlessly nested
You can nest multiple projects with tasks, there is no limit.
Pro Has an offline mode
No permanent internet connection needed.
Pro Cross-platform
Web-based, progressive-web-app (PWA).
Pro Realtime synch
Data instantly updates on all devices.
Pro Clean design
Lots of space helps focus on the tasks.
Cons
Con Must use DropBox service
Con As far as I know this app is Android only
I believe Simpletasks is an Android only app.
Con Beta interface is confusing for first-timers
The interface is very opinionated (this is a good thing). But it is not obvious how to map user's own GTD variant onto the one the author has in mind. Maybe after it is in production, there will be better on-boarding.
Con No native apps
Con In Beta (development)
