If you have a planned list of things to do, it makes your work easier. So, it’s no surprise why we’re talking about to-do list apps on Linux here. + +Sure, you can easily utilize some of the [best note taking apps on Linux][1] for this purpose but using a dedicated to-do app helps you stay focused on work. + +You might be aware of some online services for that— but how about some [cool Linux apps][2] that you can use to create a to-do list? In this article, I’m going to highlight the best to-do list apps available for Linux. + +### Best To-Do List Applications For Desktop Linux Users + +![][3] + +I have tested these apps on Pop!_OS. I have also tried to mention the installation steps for the mentioned apps but you should check your distribution’s package manager for details. + +**Note:** The list is in no particular order of ranking + +#### 1\. Planner + +![][4] + +Planner is probably the best to-do list app I’ve across for Linux distributions. + +The best thing is — it is a free and open-source project. It provides a beautiful user interface that aims to give you a meaningful user experience. In other words, it’s simple and yet attractive. + +Not to forget, you get a gorgeous dark mode. As you can see in the screenshot above, you can also choose to add emojis to add some fun to your serious work tasks. + +Overall, it looks clean while offering features like the ability to add repeating tasks, creating separate folder/projects, sync with [todoist][5] etc. + +#### How to install it? + +If you’re using [elementary OS][6], you can find it listed in the app center. In either case, they also offer a [Flatpak package on Flathub][7]. + +Unless you have Flatpak integration in your software center, you should follow our guide to [use Flatpak on Linux][8] to get it installed. + +In case you want to explore the source code, take a look at its [GitHub page][9]. + +[Planner][10] + +### 2\. Go For It! + +![][11] + +Yet another impressive open-source to-do app for Linux which is based on [todotxt][12]. Even though it isn’t available for Ubuntu 20.04 (or later) at the time of writing this, you can still use it on machines with Ubuntu 19.10 or older. + +In addition to the ability to adding tasks, you can also specify the duration/interval of your break. So, with this to-do app, you will not just end up completing the tasks but also being productive without stressing out. + +The user interface is plain and simple with no fancy features. We also have a separate article on [Go][13] [For It][13] — if you’d like to know more about it. + +You can also use it on your Android phone using the [Simpletask Dropbox app][14]. + +#### How to install it? + +You can type the commands below to install it on any Ubuntu-based distro (prior to Ubuntu 20.04): + +``` +sudo add-apt-repository ppa:go-for-it-team/go-for-it-stable +sudo apt update +sudo apt install go-for-it +``` + +In case you want to install it on any other Linux distro, you can try the [Flatpak package on Flathub][15]. + +If you don’t know about Flatpak — take a look at our [complete guide on using Flatpak][8]. To explore more about it, you can also head to their [GitHub page][16]. + +[Go For It!][16] + +#### 3\. GNOME To Do + +![][17] + +If you’re [using Ubuntu][18] or other Linux distribution with GNOME desktop envioenment, you should already have it installed. Just search for “To Do” and you should find it. + +It’s a simple to-do app which presents the list in the form of cards and you can have separate set of tasks every card. You can add a schedule to the tasks as well. It supports extensions with which you can enable the support for todo.txt files and also integration with [todoist][5]. + +[GNOME To Do][19] + +#### 4\. Taskwarrior [Terminal-based] + +![][20] + +A command-line based open-source to-do list program “[Taskwarrior][21]” is an impressive tool if you don’t need a Graphical User Interface (GUI). It also provides cross-platform support (Windows and macOS). + +It’s quite easy to add and list tasks along with a due date as shown in the screenshot above. + +To make the most out of it, I would suggest you to follow the [official documentation][22] to know how to use it and the options/features that it offers. + +##### How to install it? + +You can find it in your respective package managers on any Linux distribution. To get it intalled in Ubuntu, you will have to type the following in the terminal: + +``` +sudo apt install taskwarrior +``` + +For Manjaro Linux, you can simply get it installed through [pamac][23] that you usually need to [install software in Manjaro Linux.][24] + +In case of any other Linux distributions, you should head to its [official download page][25] and follow the instructions. + +[Taskwarrior][21] + +#### 5\. Task Coach + +![][26] + +Task Coach is yet another open-source to-do list app that offers quite a lot of essential features. You can add sub-tasks, description to your task, add dates, notes, and a lot more things. It also supports tree view for the task lists you add and manage. + +It’s a good thing to see that it offers cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, and Android). + +Overall, it’s easy to use with tons of options and works well. + +#### How to install it? + +It offers both **.deb** and **.rpm** packages for Ubuntu and Fedora. In addition to that, you can also install it using PPA. + +You can find all the necessary files and instructions from its [official download page][27]. + +You may notice an installation error for its dependencies on Ubuntu 20.04. But, I believe it should work fine on the previous Ubuntu releases. + +In my case, it worked out fine for me when using the [AUR package][28] through Pamac on Manjaro Linux. + +[Task Coach][29] + +#### 6\. Todour + +![][30] + +A very simple open-source to-do list app that lets you utilize todo.txt file as well. You may not get a lot of options to choose from — but you get a couple of useful settings to tweak. + +It may not be the most actively developed to-do list app — but it does the work expected. + +#### How to install Todour? + +If you’re using Manjaro Linux, you can utilize pamac to install Todour from [AUR][28]. + +Unfortunately, it does not provide any **.deb** or **.rpm** package for Ubuntu/Fedora. So, you’ll have to build it from source or just explore more about it on its [GitHub page][31]. + +[Todour][32] + +### Wrapping Up + +As an interesting mention, I’d like you to take a look at [TodoList][33], which is an applet for KDE-powered distributions. Among mainstream to-do list applications, [Remember The Milk is the rare one that provides a Linux client][34]. It is not open source, though. + +I hope this list of to-do specific apps help you get things done on Linux. + +Did I miss any of your favorite to-do list apps on Linux?
