Tasks app recommendation with notifications? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

I'm desperate for a good Todo app with proper Android notifications support, or at lease web push notifications from the browser.

Best I could find was Vikunja, but email notifications aren't very practical for multiple daily tasks with reminders.

Lately I've been trying to use Obsidian as my tracker for things to do, but it's just not that convenient for me and doesn't trigger notifications.

I know selfhosted push notifications isn't a simple problem to solve, so I don't have much hope got a solution.

I'm so close to going back to Todoist, which to me is the gold standard, you guys are my last attempt 🙏

The only weird setting I had the set was the background refresh interval. Mind defaulted off, which seems dumb.

If you don't set that, it won't pick up new tasks that you added via the Web UI , and so you might not get notifications for those.

Once I set that I've been getting notifications pretty consistently. Also check that you've allowed notifications for that app. And the task needs to have a due date set for the notification. Not sure if it also needs a reminder. I think I just do due date.
