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

        Simple Outlook tasks is great.

        Outlook and "Simple" never go together.

        You're disdain for bad products is showing again.

        FTFY

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

        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.

        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.

          It's fully copy/paste anything and everything into it and out of it, trackable, usable on any device with OWA, ...

          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.

                Yes, the URL says outlook.office365.com, and a button at the bottom says "Tasks"...

                https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?path=/tasks

                Also, the "O" in "OWA"... do you know what that stands for?

                    I'm not sure what you're on about now? Exchange OWA is basically Outlook, only completely hosted. Very few things that Outlook can do that OWA can't (add-ons is a huge one, but I know of a few other smaller features (tasks related actually) that I do miss from OWA).

                          You said many years ago that locally installed Office is just a web app running locally... how does that make Outlook local any different from Outlook from Exchange? (sadly I do know the code base is different - see last post).

                                      Wunderlist is nice for just a simple task list.

                                      I'm using Wunderlist until it completely dies. (MS todo sucks)

                                            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.

                                            Yeah it has like 10% promise, 70% wanted to gouge your eyes out, and 80% confusion about Sharepoint and where everything is stored.
