From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Calcurse why didn't you guys tell me about calcurse!

edit: I am freaking frustrated. I just am using crontab to remind me and super productivity as a to do list.

super productivity is a snap and won't give you background notifications.

No Snaps/App images, they won't allow background notifications. I mention xfce because I want to get notifications even if the app is not open.

I really want the reminders feature. This is not due to lack of trying that I am asking. Gnome to-do and some other apps don't have reminders.
Planner for some reason doesn't have reminders?
GoToDo is a Snap

And I have tried many others too.

Command line interfaces are ok as long as I can set reminders and edit them.
I like if it's open-source, but I don't care until it works. It must work.

Trello, Google Calendar, Notion, Evernote, Proton Calendar, etc, etc..

If you want to really DIY it, and depending on the things you want to be notified of, the Pushbullet API is pretty decent. I have been using that for years. You could probably do something with IFTTT or Zapier or something similar too.. I haven't dug into those.

Looks like Focalboard is an option too.
