    Super Productivity is amazing. A lot of cool features, but lose in terms of integrations.

    FOSS. No paid subscription BS. It won't irretrievably delete your data after 1 year of inactivity like Todoist does, since it gives you absolute control over your data. No telemetry, privacy-focused.

    Android-based task lists, and reminds me very strongly of Astrid. That, and I find it actually more convenient to use than Todoist.

    Not quite as feature-rich or intuitive as Todoist, but it is open-source, self-hostable, and an overall excellent application.
