What are you using to track daily tasks?
-
I am currently using Asana to track my day to day tasks but I'd like to find something self-hosted and open source if possible.

We currently use Microsoft Planner but I think looking at something else. Eh it's whatever.

I use OneNote. I have a tab just for daily tasks. Every line is a task and In put details in there so I can search for things when I need to.

We use Kanbanflow although not entirely free works for us and the web team/developers.

I'm currently using Outlook Tasks. I've looked at self-hosted and open source stuff and they all try to be the next big thing with a million features. Too much for me. Simple Outlook tasks is great.

Outlook and "Simple" never go together.

Tasks in Outlook can be simple is a matter of either flagging or completing and that's it.

Love it or hate it, it's not simple. It's complex and requires special handling to be reliable.

Tasks themselves can be simple, but Outlook is not.

Yeah, two different things.

If Outlook was simple and reliable, I'd be just fine with it.

I rarely have issues with Outlook. Granted years ago it used to be a bigger problem. And I'll admit I don't use OSTs (I know people have issues with those things too).

From an MSP side, Outlook seems to exist just to generate billable support hours. Don't get me wrong, it makes money for us like crazy, so I'm thankful for it from a business perspective. But I'd have to be pretty unethical to recommend it, because it just screws the customer and lines the hourly support IT pockets.

I'm quite happy with Outlook TASKS. I've tried a ton of other things and they are all WAY over complicated full-blown project management crap. Not what I want. Your view of Outlook Tasks is subjective.
It's fully copy/paste anything and everything into it and out of it, trackable, usable on any device with OWA, and there's a ton of features you can use that aren't shoved down your throat. It's simple and effective for daily/weekly/monthly task and simple project management tracking for yourself, and also some simple sharing and collaboration features if needed.

I'm old school... I use sticky notes.... They're everywhere! It doesn't work, but it's what I use.

Tasks is fine, it's all of the support needed to make it work. If they separated it out and it was its own, simple thing. Sure.

If you can use it with OWA, is it really Outlook Tasks? Now it is just Exchange Tasks, which I'm fine with if you don't have to install Outlook.
OWA / Exchange's task list is simple and easy.
See, Outlook is so complex, even conveying the tool you want to use isn't simple.

Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list. Google tasks isn't bad either.
-
NextCloud has tasks, too. Very simple.
