It is half-baked. I'm migrating the Android app to Compose Multiplatform to target Android + desktop, and eventually iOS. There is a mountain of work left to do!

If you used the installer from tasks.org/download you should find Tasks.org under 'Installed apps' in your system settings. Here you can click on ⋯ and select uninstall. If you have any more trouble with this please contact [email protected] to follow up with me!

Sorry for the late response! Tasks supports infinite depth subtasks for offline, CalDAV, or EteSync tasks. Google Tasks are limited to a single level

As far as I know you cannot disable this protection. Even if you sideload F-Droid itself, it can't install other apps.

Tasks has two features you might be interested in

One is the ability to schedule a repeating task based on the completion date rather than the due date. The other is to hide a task until a particular date

I use these two features together for all of my habits/chores that I don't need cluttering up my to-do list

The F-Droid version is built by the F-Droid build machine, not me, so it has a different signature. If you have the Google Play release installed then Android will only allow upgrades that are signed by me. If you uninstall the Google Play version then you should be able to install the F-Droid version

I use Apple Reminders on my desktop, but the Apple Reminders app is fairly basic and doesn't support things like subtasks or tags. And unfortunately the app abandoned the CalDAV protocol in iOS 13/macOS 10.15

Technically the Apple Reminders app can still be used with third party CalDAV servers, and third party clients can still synchronize with iCloud, but icloud.com, icloud.com list sharing, and Apple Reminders with your Apple account on iOS 13/macOS 10.15 now use a proprietary protocol.

Currently the Nextcloud Tasks (web) app offers the greatest feature parity with the app. Thunderbird + Lightning + TbSync is another option. There are some others but I haven't used very many. I've heard from a couple users that run tasks.org on their desktop with Bluestacks

I'm in the same boat! You can download the F-Droid APK and sideload it with adb

The app supports infinite-depth subtasks, but there is no way to link two tasks at the same level

Subtasks are themselves tasks, so their priorities can be set separately from their parents. Collapsible subtasks will be displayed in searches and filters, so if you have a custom filter for high priority tasks, you will also see their lower-priority subtasks

Sharing is done at the list level, and this is handled by your synchronization service

I haven't personally used any command line CalDAV clients so I have nothing to offer there, sorry!
