I am looking for a really basic developer task/todo app or system. Are there any good ones out there? What are you using? All I need is a good overview and being able to add time and priority to my tasks.

I've found that a pen and dedicated project notebook works best for me. I maintain a priority by putting keeping a page for each priority level. If something changes priority I cross it off and move it to the new priority.

Time could be tracked with a written time estimate.

I've done the same thing using Emacs ORG mode, or a folder of .txt files, depending on how complex my project gets.

I just found what I was looking for. A really nice and simple todo app called Wunderlist. Thanks for all the answers though.

I write tasks on an index card. When I'm done with the story, I tear it up. Very satisfying. Of course, this means only working towards one thing at a time, which is a great discipline anyway.

I was just checking for one last week. Didn't want to go for a commercial app also hosted web apps like FogBugz had a limit on the free option of 2 users (3 would be smarter).

Most of the open source projects are bloated or in bad shape.

Finally settled on Project Pier and for a week it's been working out really well. The project is active but more importantly it does a fine job of what its main goals are.

EDIT for tasks/todos I highly recommend tasks jr

KISS: Emacs org mode if you are already an Emacs user, perhaps even if you are not; ff that doesn't suit you, Excel or another spreadsheet.

I use toodledo. It contains almost all imaginable functionality for a to-do list, while being simple:

1. Priorities
2. Contexts
3. Tags
4. Folders
5. Reminders
6. Ability to add new tasks by email
7. Ability to share tasks if necessary
8. Open API, which allows multiple third-party apps integration (a number of iPhone/Android applications, Outlook integration, browser plug-ins etc.)

Really basic system what I've used besides paper is to

% grep TODO *
Data.py:  # TODO!
Data.py:  # TODO normalize tag priorities so that Up/Down would work the best

If you like to TODO multilinely, give grep some context:

% grep -C 2 TODO *
Data.py-    self.con.commit()
Data.py-  
Data.py:  # TODO!
Data.py-  # Make the given tag go up or down in the list: find the next priority
Data.py-  # in the sorted list of tags and set new priority

If you git,

% git grep TODO

works well and searches from the project files only.

In an IDE, I'd use its TODO features.

If your company provides you with Outlook, it's more than capable of managing a TODO list, along with alerts.

Failing that, a powerful text editor like VIM or EMACS will get the job done; they both have good plugins.

I know this has been answered already but Asana is an amazing, flexible to-do list with time tracking via integration with Harvest. Combined with Trello as needs arise, this is a 1-2 punch to the face of inefficiency. Hopefully this helps someone else.
