Maybe one of the "todo.txt" apps? SimpleTask is a good example. Their native format is .txt, with each line a to-do item, so a copypasta'd (from Excel into a txt file) file with each line one record should import successfully.

Here's the app on the Android Playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.mpcjanssen.simpletask

And here's their GitHub page: https://github.com/mpcjanssen/simpletask-android

I don't use iOS but I'm sure they're apps that can manage todo.txt files. But most task manager apps should have categorization and will get the job done.

Really glad you liked Markor. I also combine it with Simpletask for task management.

Everything is saved inside readable text files (markdown and todo.txt).

Simpletask is my favorite. Sorting tasks by multiple criteria at once is the main reason why I find it so friendly to use. See screenshot

And it's based on the todo.txt format so it should be familiar to you.

MyTinyTodo - http://www.mytinytodo.net/

fluxday - http://fluxday.io/ (more team oriented though)

Then there is kanban boards.

Then there is full blown project management tools like

https://www.openproject.org/

Finally there is simple todo.txt syntax approach.

http://todotxt.com and all of the implementations that are built with it.

I built my own solution with this because none of them really work for me like I wanted and this syntax has a ton of potential in implemented properly. My approach is multiple todo.txt files depending on the project or topic.

You can sync these files to your Android phone, if you have Android, and use SimpleTask. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.mpcjanssen.simpletask

I think todo.txt's official android app is terrible which is why I linked to SimpleTask which is great and also open source. https://github.com/mpcjanssen/simpletask-android

To be honest, I think everything todo.txt made is terrible except for the syntax itself. The script is not efficient at all and in my opinion, it just adds a headache to using it. Their mobile apps all require Dropbox which is incredibly irritating and due to the lack of security in Dropbox, maybe even dumb.

However, the syntax is quite awesome and I'm a big fan of that part.

For someone who wants something similar to mine but doesn't want to go to the extremes then I'd suggest:

Desktop: QTodoTxt (python cross-platform)

Mobile: SimpleTask Cloudless - Source - (cloud version requires Dropbox)

Syncing: Syncthing or Nextcloud

I didn't like any of the available options so I created my own.

Here are the tools I used to create mine.

todo.txt syntax
Syncthing
Sublime Text to view and edit on my desktop & laptop
InsertDate (Sublime Package) to quickly insert the date for the tasks and due dates.
Simpletask Cloudless - lets you use todo.txt files without being forced to use crap like Dropbox.

The above are tools that can be combined to create a similar structure to mine. However, I also created custom pieces that aren't available for download at least not right now.

Syntax Highlighting for Sublime Text (there is one already but I didn't think it did enough so I made my own)
I modified InsertDate to perform extra actions like added a completion date with the "x" in front for todo.txt syntax.
I wrote a bash script that performs actions on multiple todo.txt files as I dont use just one. I wanted one per project so I currently have about 30.
- Scans multiple todo.txt files to create an agenda (today, tomorrow, this week, and all) for what is needed to be done in priority based on due dates.
- Scans the multiple files to track how many todos are needed to be done across all of the files and creates a stat list of how many for each list and a total.
- ^ same as above but also does it for completed tasks.

There's probably more I did on the script but I don't remember.

Anyway, I'm describing it because I might be willing to package it up and release it if people want it but it is pretty custom to my workflow so if you don't use Sublime Text then I don't have any highlighting or etc for you but in theory the script will still work as long as you adhere to the todo.txt syntax.

What works for me is todo.txt on my laptop and desktop I use Linux Mint. So I use the command line interface mostly, to keep a track of it I run conky so my up to date list is on my Desktop. For Android I use simpletask

Reminders

Forgetfulness can be fixed with things like todo.txt, reminders, calendar systems, notebooks, whatever. The trick is using them. It doesn't matter how good a tool is if you don't use it. I have a regular alarm on my phone that reminds me every day to go through my todo.txt app on my phone. I use simpletask on android. Still working out the kinks, but it helps. The theory is based on the GTD system: get the to-do list out of your head and into something to track it. Here's a podcast all about it: http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast/39 he breaks down the concepts into a bullet point list in there somewhere, but I gave you the big one: quit trying to remember stuff with your cranial swiss-cheese and just write it down or something.

Here's how I would do it: Open Bill. Note details. Open app, add what, how much, and due date less a comfortable margin of days. Give it a category of say, bills. Then, when the reminder alarm goes off, I would see that bill is due every single day right up until I put it on the 'tomorrow' list which I look at to start my day. Boom. Paid. If I forgot, I'd see it didn't get done that evening when the alarm went off and I could deal with it right then.

Budget

Remembering helps, but the real solution is the same for everyone, ADHD or not: get ahead of the bills so you're paying this month's bills with last month's income. Next month's bills are paid by this month's income. No more scramble, no more waiting for the next check before paying a bill, etc.

If you can manage that, you'll always have the money to pay the bills and you can pay them immediately (or automatically). Build a slush fund, emergency fund, etc. It helps to have a place for 'oops' and things you didn't expect -- budget what you can spare for it, but make sure it's enough to grow slowly over time. Then when stuff blind-sides you the funds to deal with it are already there.

Yep, impulse purchases will have to stop, at least for a while. You can put a small amount away for that, too. The basic idea is this: if you spend money on it, you make a fund for that thing and you know it takes x% of your income. Every dollar accounted for in the budget. Even movie tickets, eating out, etc. All of it.

Track everything and then be floored by how much you spent on that thing you don't actually need. I added up how much I spent on cigarettes once... That was quite the sticker shock when I realized the annual cost of that.

If you need help to get there, there's /r/personalfinance and lots of helpful tools though a decent spreadsheet will do just fine. Here's some tools though, in case anyone is lacking in the spreadsheet skills:

http://homebank.free.fr/ is free, cross platform and makes pie charts. I found it more useful for seeing where money went than for planning.
https://www.youneedabudget.com/ is crazy popular for some reason. I think their guidelines they use are much, much more important than the software. It's available on Steam, but I advise reading reviews before you buy it. If you have reasonable spreadsheet skills, you don't need this.
google drive spreadsheet templates I use some of these myself. Most of these are better for laying out a budget than for tracking expenditures. I use libreoffice instead of google drive, but whatever works for you.

Know where your money goes! If you do that, you can fix your budget. Then stick to it.

Well, that became a really long post. Sorry about that.

Todo.txt is what I use but I have a heavily customized solution. I am also working with another project to improve mine and theirs.

Todo.txt is a GREAT structure and syntax for to-do lists but their applications are lacking and fundamentally poor. Their Android app however is just utter garbage, it forces you to use Dropbox and ONLY Dropbox for syncing.

So I'll describe my structure.

Linux Desktop:

Text Editor, requires nothing and works with any editor, just use the syntax.
Go For It, for a great GUI front-end to using the syntax plus Pomodoro timing system.

Android:

Simpletalks Cloudless, let's you use files stored on your phone so you can sync with something else.

Sync:

I use a Wi-Fi sync tool called SyncMe Wireless which is an Android app but the syncing could be done with anything.

I am working with Go For It to improve their project as well as build stuff for myself.

I hate having only one todo.txt file and one done.txt file. I want one set for each project I'm working on. So I make one set for each client and then use that to keep it organized better.

Todo.txt works only on the way of ONE file so I hate that. Their script is also crap because of the one file limitation. How the hell is a script running commands faster than just typing it straight into a text editor?

So I think their script is almost worthless.

Anyway, I built my own script, which yes I do plan on releasing, that supports multiple todo.txt files.

My script has

Archiving of done tasks
Agenda creation of tasks due for everyday for a week and overdue tasks
Stats builder for how many tasks are to be done per project as well as how many are done per project.
Time Calculation for how much time was spent on a task.

I have more planned features as well.

Anyway, everything except my script is available right now so you could get started with that and then use my script when it is finished.

Best part is this solution is compatible with EVERYTHING!

SimpleTask, maybe?

SimpleTask (Cloudless) is good too.
