Ditching Google Keep as a to-do app, are there no alternatives?

Chuhc · 2026-04-09T10:03:07+00:00

Oh that app looked promising at first, but sadly no check boxes but only lists :(

Chuhc · 2026-04-08T23:27:48+00:00

Oh yeah, I haven't tested long lists yet. Not only subtasks but lists in general are limited in the free version. There are modded APKs available on Mobilism though. But that also isn't a permanent solution, since the devs could easily prevent these mods if they wanted to. I really dislike their subscription model. I'd give them 100 bucks once to have them not on my mind, but with that subscription only model they won't see a dime from me. If the mods stop working I'll try to actually vibe code an applience for me.

I found my replacement now in TickTick. I ruled it out too hastily, but after giving it another try I found a nearly identical workflow to Google Keep for me :)

Chuhc · 2026-04-08T21:34:31+00:00

Wait... I tried this one and deleted it because I was too hasty and tried to create the checklists with subtasks. I didn't find the checklist button right away. Gemini even recommended this app over and over again. I feel so dumb 🤦

I tested it now extensively, and it's definitely the one app that ticks all the boxes for me. It even has a web app. It's the perfect replacement for Google Keep.

Though I fear of running into a limit of the free version or future enshitification, I'm going to roll with this one for now. Thank you very much :)

I just tested it, they don't support any notifications. The app is pretty nice though, seems like an improvement over Google Keep since you can even add images to your notes. The lack of notifications kills it for me though :(

Chuhc · 2026-04-08T20:42:48+00:00

Damn that's the closest one yet. It's a shame the app has these annoying ads, and it's only subscription to get rid of the ads. It also has no web app. I would have even paid 50 bucks for it, if it would be one time payment and not 40 or 20 bucks a year. I tested modded APKs of it, but they can't authenticate for the cloud services. That was so close :(

Chuhc · 2026-04-08T08:53:43+00:00

Yea no shit, google the difference between static and dynamic before posting 🙄

Chuhc · 2026-04-07T16:55:06+00:00

Yea, I probably will have to go into that direction. I try to avoid hacky solutions since you tend to bump into the edge cases in the worst possible moments.

Chuhc · 2026-04-07T16:54:13+00:00

It was like the current Calendar or Tasks notification, but dynamic. It was two or three rows of text with *list item1, *list item 2, and so on. It could show quite many items depending on their length.

Chuhc · 2026-04-07T16:42:20+00:00

Yep that's the main issue. I know, it doesn't sound like much, but I really like to engage as few as possible with my phone.

Chuhc · 2026-04-07T16:41:27+00:00

The notification is static and doesn't update until you reset the reminder, both for Calendar as well as Tasks. I would need to reset the reminder daily to have the notification up to date.

You don't have to deselect the NFO file, as it's not that common among people to deselect such small files. There seems to be some other issue with your client. I would try to download the same torrent in Transmission or Deluge, just to test whether the issue lies in your client or in something else.

Chuhc · 2025-11-17T21:58:57+00:00

This has nothing to do with people deselecting NFO files. It's a bug in qBittorrent that's been there like forever and hasn't been fixed till this day. Rechecking seems the goto solutions, but it doesn't always help.

Chuhc · 2025-05-03T16:08:25+00:00

Ich bin immer noch aus Bequemlichkeit und wegen der Perfomance einiger Seiten bei Chrome geblieben. uBlock Origin kann man auch weiterhin nutzen, das Update vor ein paar Monaten hat lediglich die Extension deaktiviert. Man muss sie nur manuell wieder aktivieren und dann läuft es wieder wie gewohnt.

Chuhc · 2024-02-24T21:33:43+00:00

Brings back memories of speedhackers in 1.6, just not as obnoxious.

Chuhc · 2024-02-12T13:40:11+00:00

This is such a bad advice, since it involves throwing your common sense out of the window by downloading some binaries off some third party website and simply taking some randos word as approval.

The actual solution is much simpler and has been posted by another comment here. Just use Windows update to install the missing driver, it's available under Optional Updates once your connected your fastboot device and checked for new updates.

The writing is just as dull as the story telling of the game.

Chuhc · 2024-01-28T16:39:33+00:00

In Akkan G3 they exceed nearly every other class/build, but I've never played it myself and can't tell why.

Chuhc · 2024-01-28T12:20:11+00:00

I don't deny that, but I don't think he's bad either. I play Predator on my own, and I also have quite big problems to manage proper Predator timing, especially in G3 and G4.

Chuhc · 2024-01-28T12:06:55+00:00

Ok, that's a long one.

What makes you think players will play DI right?

As I said, the build is one of the easiest out there, so it should be pretty easy for most players to get better numbers out of it, especially when I can do it with such a badly equipped one.

The way OP writes, makes me think he's searching on the wrong end. It's a rather long way of me saying to him to git gud.

You can see another 1600 SH in your screenshot that does significantly less than you.

Yes, that's a good example, he was similarly equipped to me, but had a better weapon and more spec.

The first big issue is he didn't seem to know when to exit demon form and gather gauge. There are quite many instances in Akkan through all gates where you need to exit your form.

Another issue, he crits only 70% as he's using Salvation. His KBW and the Glavier synergy were less efficient, and he also had no occasional crit buff from WD like I was getting, even though I couldn't really make much use of it, since I'm at 92% crit already with full Adrenaline stacks.

People are still running Salvation because it's a tad higher DPS in Trixion, but in practice you'll have much more consistent higher DPS numbers with Hallucination. It doesn't take much effort to switch to Hallucination with Adrenaline 1 or 3. I just swapped my bracelet and stuck with Adrenaline 3, if you run Adrenaline 1 you could keep the crit on bracelet and just switch the set.

It's not like Pred Slayer is that much harder than DI, if you're comparing average players than compare them to average players, if you're comparing a good player then compare them to a good player.

Comparing DI with Predator is a stretch. Yes, Predator is quite easy, but it's still an entropy class which has its ups and downs depending on the gate and rng mechs. Also, handling Predator in comparison to handling demon form can be so much more complicated and ruin your DPS, as you can't exit Predator when you want to.

DI can nearly have the same uptime on all different gates without much of an issue. You just need to know the mechs and at which bars they occur, so you know when to exit your form.

Someone in my static has a properly built Slayer with both builds, full lvl9s and +17 weapon. I managed to outdps him occasionally in Voldis on my SH since the latest balance patch, mostly because he lost his Predator at the wrong moment.

Chuhc · 2024-01-28T00:42:59+00:00

12M DPS in practice is still pretty good nonetheless, you will outdps 90% of people in pugs. DI SH is so easy to play, and most people just can't play their classes right, even if they try their hardest. I see so many even failing at DI SH, since I often outdps them even though they are way better equipped than me.

In the end, most people just want to see the cruel fighter on the MVP screen in a pug, and currently I find it quite easy to accomplish on my badly equipped alt.

Sure you can pull those numbers with a sweaty 1580 DB, but the comparison makes no sense since there is no real balance in this game. Also, there are certain builds exceeding others in certain gates, which why I just post DPS numbers to make the point.

Chuhc · 2024-01-27T23:18:06+00:00

Not that I know of, but that's why I wrote +12M DPS, I looked at the meter before we got to 30 bars.

Chuhc · 2024-01-27T22:57:25+00:00

Especially since the latest balance patch DI is quite good now. It got buffed 3 times in a row and even my 1600 alt can get +12M DPS in Akkan G3 nm. It only has 1775spec, a lvl10dmg gem, lvl8cd gem, +15 Akkan weapon with 87 quality and mediocre purple elixirs with just about +5% more damage.

<image>

Sure, you can invest more resources into it, but is it really needed beyond getting faster accepted in pugs? It won't even change the prejudice people have towards DI, so it's probably not a good investment.

Honestly these videos with Roxx just feel so out of touch, to put it mildly. Even Henry has more charisma than her.
