In their own words
Lunatask
Lunatask is an encrypted, cloud-based personal organization app for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with API and browser-extension support. It combines to-do lists, habit tracking, journaling, life tracking, notes, and relationship reminders. Task workflows include a Kanban-like approach, Must/Should/Want, the Eisenhower Matrix, timers, and work-in-progress limits. It also tracks moods, emotions, energy, and stress. Notes and notebooks can be PIN-protected, and calendar connections include Google, Outlook, iCloud, Proton, Fastmail, Hey, Facebook Events, iCal/ics, and CalDAV; these currently sync one way into Lunatask. Free includes 2 Areas of Life, 7 Daily Habits, and 30 Relationships. Premium costs $6 a month when billed annually or 8.00 USD monthly, adding unlimited areas, habits, and relationships plus calendar integrations and additional planning tools. Data is encrypted on the device before cloud storage, although task metadata remains unencrypted. Offline use is temporary, with later synchronization.
Tasks.org
Tasks.org is a free, open-source task management app for Android, with desktop builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It organizes work with lists, tags, filters, manual sorting, and subtasks that can nest to unlimited depth. Tasks can recur, trigger notifications, and use location-based reminders. The free plan includes unlimited tasks, lists, tags, and reminders, and requires neither an account nor an internet connection. Mobile offline use is supported; synchronization options include Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, DAVx⁵, CalDAV, EteSync, and DecSync CC. Tasks.org Cloud uses CalDAV and can connect with apps including Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Reminders. Its Cloud plan adds cross-device sync, list sharing with up to five guests, and email-to-task. The desktop download page offers Windows, macOS, and Linux builds, though the homepage labels desktop as alpha. Name-your-price starts at $0.99 per year, while Tasks.org Cloud costs $2.49 per month, billed annually at $29.99 per year. Calendar sync is not supported.
