    Looking for best to-do-tasks software


    Hello,

    looking for best to-do-tasks software/browser app for Desktop. Don't care how much it costs... I tried dozens and they are all so stupid it is unfathomable...

    It should have following features:
    - set recurring tasks e.g. at daily basis
    - as you enter name of task it should be persistent e.g. if you change it in a random day, it wouldn't change name of a recurring task, or there should be description field to add specifics there instead to the name of a task
    - ability to set repeating reminders e.g. if you close reminder, it will pop out like 3 times again after 10 minutes (user should be able to set random intervals/number of times it'll happen)...
    - get sound notifications + popout window as reminders for tasks (ability to disable bring it to the top of focus, in case user is in fullscreen mode)
    - set time when it should remind to do a task
    - there should be at least well arranged overview which goes at least week back so I can see quickly on which tasks I was slacking
    - ability to spawn tasks in a list on a custom position - like third from top
    - ability to group them
    - set multiple lists for different tasks
    - some programs if you don't finish task, and finish it e.g. 3 days later, it will show date finished of the day 3 days before, instead of current date which is annoying

    Optional:
    - ability to have limited about of points and you can spend only certain amount of points for doing tasks

    I don't have even strength to try these currently, that's why I asked for help, I have chronic pain... I would need specific name. Before I set it up and then I realize after a while it is missing critical features... All these programs are usually counter-productive... I can't believe no one thought of like feature for setting repeated reminders etc.

    Read each description and email the respective companies with your requirements.

    Best way, IMHO.

    Feel better. It's easier said than done.

    I went over all these and couldn't find anything. I was hoping someone would recommend me something specific. I don't want some expensive service which will make me pay additional 10-15$ for adding +12 tasks LMAOOO. I would rather get a program... But most of these solutions/even paid are soo bad. They expect you to buy expensive program, or subscribe for to do lists LMAOOO while it can't even set a reminder, or custom snooze period... I don't know why so many of these programs suck, to no one has occurred that user might want to set a reminder for a task? If anyone made program with all cores features, it would be pretty easy, he would become millionaire, because all these programs are overexpensive while sucking hard! It is so impractical, that I don't even, can't even look for completed tasks like in calendar view a week back, OK... All is usually garbage freemium and for it to not suck hard you would have to pay 30$+ monthly while it is still missing important features, and is not very practical...

    I do not believe that you will find an application with all those capabilities.

    I do not understand what this means.

    Actually Microsoft Outlook does pretty much everything on the OP's list, except meet his cost requirement.

    x509,

    You are mistaken.
    Outlook fulfils only some of them and the OP is not interested in partial fulfilment.
