Taskwarrior on Desktop and Taskwarrior + Termux on Android is the most flexible, private, open and lightweight TODO manager I've ever used. No eye candy whatsoever, just pure power. I've been using the combo for a few years now, give it a look.

How do you sync between devices?

The desktop runs a cron job to sync every X minutes with a taskwarrior server on an amazon instance. The cellphone syncs manually, or you can automate a sync installing Taskwarrior for Android. The UI of this Taskwarrior for Android app is not very good for me, but it allows you to sync the taskdata files every X minutes if you want. You only need to make sure to point the app to the termux .task folder so both the Taskwarrior for Android and the Termux + Taskwarrior CLI use the same data files.

Do you use a special keyboard like Hacker's Keyboard for Taskwarrior CLI?

EDIT: I just found out about the Volume Up+Q thing, maybe I don't need another keyboard. I would prefer it that way so I can swipe when typing new tasks.

I configured a SyncThing[1] between my devices with the taskwarrior file included in the synced folder and it's been working well, without having to setup a taskwarrior server.
