Non-FOSS alert!

Remember The Milk: An Effective To-Do App
Remember The Milk is a to-do app that includes a bunch of essential features required to manage your daily tasks. In addition to the mobile apps (and the support for Apple Watch), it also offers desktop counterparts (electron-based) and the ability to integrate with various services like Gmail.
No matter whether it’s your personal set of routines or just work – you can use it for almost anything you want.
It is worth noting that is not an open-source solution. However, it does provide a Linux package if you do not want to utilize the web browser. So, if you are looking for some other solutions that are potentially open-source, you can take a look at our list of Evernote alternatives as well.
