I use a mix of Org mode via Emacs and Orgzly,
and Notally, which is still my main notes app while I'm still working on transitioning to Orgmode completely.
Weird to not see (at the time Iβm writing this) any mentions of βtodoistβ which people on forums have loved for ages. Iβm not a fan at all so Iβm glad to finally not see it as frequently. My preference for work, where I have multiple categories and statuses (including a βdone and waiting for the other person to confirmβ status) is Trello with some automations. For home, just simple reliable entry on phone and desktop, is Ticktick. I particularly love the natural date parsing built into Ticktick (can also be done in Trello with an automation), very useful for super fast task entry and due date/time scheduling.
I make lists in Simplenote. I also add stuff to my native Reminders app and then ignore them notifications or keep pushing them off by setting them to fire again later. Sometimes I actually get around to them when I need a task to keep me busy during podcasts.
Google Calendar
Superproductivity but I'm so irresponsible. Every to do list app I do, I never follow through.

I use Trello to manage several lists (recurring daily, Tuesdays only, one-offs, etc) and reconcile them into a daily plan each morning
My nextcloud + Deck
Org mode on GNU Emacs.
Went back to college last year and Joplin's been amazing. More off-topic, but the only thing I wish it had was better search result organization.
Bitwarden notes
Apple reminder. It syncs with nextcloud ( unfortunately no sub tasks possible) but i am using icloud. The app itself is pretty descent with some cool features
None because I don't do shit.
I didn't do shit, but I use TickTick to help organize the shit I'm not doing.
Google Tasks. Does not have all the features of other apps but does everything I need and was preinstalled
I've tried so many and even programmed my own and none of them worked for me. I was especially disappointed in the ones that claimed to be AI-assisted.
I wrote one many times over during my career that was amazingly effective, not just for myself but others, too. I can't figure out how to write it for the phone because I am a crummy programmer. I would love to have it again. It had one feature that I am unable to find on any other to-do list app.
What was the feature?
Zero or more prerequisite tasks. End to start dependencies in project management parlance.
Me too! This and auto-populating a "do next" sublist are key features that no commercial software seems to have.
In my last version I had a single list of tasks, and each had a list of "excuses" which were pointers to other tasks. I had filters for showing "all tasks", "not done", "can be done". The one other feature that was helpful was being able to reorder tasks.
Maybe I will get back to work on it. I thought I had found a perfect set of alpha users in the /r/productivity sub, but I'm not on reddit anymore.
Keep us in the loop?
Certainly.

I just got used to being disappointed in myself and donβt make lists anymore.
My main requirement is that it has to be available on my heavily locked down work phone and work laptop as well as my home ones. If it isnt in my face whenever I look at a screen, it isnt going to work. So it ends up being Google tasks.
I use neorg for neovim, specifically I use:Neorg journal today to open up a daily .Norge file that I maintain notes, todo, etc on.
If I need to leave a note for myself for the future, I create a note for that day ahead of time.
I've been using a lot of different apps. Then I tried using tasker plugin along with dataview in Obsidian - but it was too convoluted. I settled on using vikunja for tasks that I need to keep track of, and the things I commit to goes into my "today" note in Obsidian.
Generally it is not advisable to have more than one source of information for your tasks, but this setup worked for me.
I just recently started using Vikunja too, and it's pretty great but really needs more recurrence options. For 90% of my things it works, but there's some things lacking.
Tasks.org, synced with Nextcloud tasks.
You must download it from F-droid for the sync to be free. On Play Store it's under a paywall by dev decision (to promote open source portals).

Isn't it moreso to support the dev easily?
I use Tasks too :))
