Simpletask Cloudless
A mobile app for organizing tasks and to-do lists.
A simple task list manager that strives to have just enough features to do GTD, but no more. Based on the 
Todo.txt app so a todo.txt file.
Sync your list the way you want or only keep it on your device.
Instead of including all kinds of cloud providers, the app will put your todo list on internal storage in ./data/nl.mpcjanssen.simpletask. You can the use external applications such as Foldersync or Bittorrent sync to sync to a large collection of cloud offerings or own machines.
If you use any cloud service to sync, the task list will be reloaded if the todo.txt file is updated in the background.
With the new sorting options it can also be used for MYN/1MTD. See the screenshots for an example of how to use it for MYN.
Features
- True to GTD without unecessary bells and whistles
- Todo list stored in the todo.txt format
- Comprehensive filtering and multi sort
- Quickly filter tasks using the left navigation drawer
- Save common filters in right navigation drawer
- Create calendar reminders for specific tasks directly from the app
- Share the complete tasklist or selected tasks using the Android share feature
- Tasks can deferred into the future. Combined with the "Show future tasks" filter it allows you to get tasks out of your face (as in 1MTD/MYN)

Comments and Reviews
Said about Simpletask Cloudless as an alternative
JohnFastman Simpletask Cloudless is an excellent, free, open source and private Android app that allows you to sync the to-do list however you want, supports reccuring events and theming and doesn't compel you to obey any particular company's privacy rules. It's also based on the todo.txt system which means your todos will be in a future-proof format. Unfortunately, no desktop app. But Simpletask Cloudless is truly excellent.

This is a fantastic Android app. It's built on the todo.txt system, which is just a way of writing tasks down in text format in a way that doesn't lock you in to a specific service. It's free, open source and it doesn't complain on your phone when you don't give it access to Google's API - which is good for your privacy. (You can't say that about ToDoIst or Asana.)
In addition to the established todo.txt system, Simpletask Cloudless lets you set recurring events. It is also themable and has a widget.
Simpletask Cloudless saves your list of todo items in a simple text file, as it does with task that are completed and archived. As such, you can sync your list of things to do between devices using a service you prefer, so you're not dependent on the apps functionality being tied to a specific company's legal situation or terms and conditions. Again, a huge privacy bonus.
I sync my Simpletask Cloudless files with Tresorit, but I also used to do it with a password-protected Seafile.de folder.
The only drawback is that the recurring tasks feature is hard to find on desktop todo.txt apps. For this reason, I would highly recommend Simpletask Cloudless to those to anticipate accessing their to-do list on Android or who don't need the recurring tasks feature.
But it's a brilliant little app that doesn't jeaopardise your privacy. Give it a go.
