I’ve tried so many and even programmed my own and none of them worked for me. I was especially disappointed in the ones that claimed to be AI-assisted.
I wrote one many times over during my career that was amazingly effective, not just for myself but others, too. I can’t figure out how to write it for the phone because I am a crummy programmer. I would love to have it again. It had one feature that I am unable to find on any other to-do list app.
In my last version I had a single list of tasks, and each had a list of “excuses” which were pointers to other tasks. I had filters for showing “all tasks”, “not done”, “can be done”. The one other feature that was helpful was being able to reorder tasks.
Maybe I will get back to work on it. I thought I had found a perfect set of alpha users in the /r/productivity sub, but I’m not on reddit anymore.

What was the feature?
Zero or more prerequisite tasks. End to start dependencies in project management parlance.
Me too! This and auto-populating a “do next” sublist are key features that no commercial software seems to have.

Keep us in the loop?
Certainly.
I just got used to being disappointed in myself and don’t make lists anymore.
