Basically, I'm looking for a merge of teambox, things and redmine. Does anyone knows anything like that? ;)

It should have really nice UI and be extremely simple to use. Cross platform or web/linux.

Currently I'm using teambox (ok, it's not a to-do, but works great), but they have a lot of unnecessary stuff (that's a pm thing after all) and no prioritization, etc.

Also, it would be nice to have sub-tasking of any level.

I'm currently working on something like that, I'm launching a invitation-only beta later this month, if you want to try my new app register at taskzebra.com and I'll send you an invitation on launch day. – Nir Jan 17 '12 at 11:03
According to description, it doesn't look like something I need (surely no financial info). Anyway, I've subscribed. – Denys S. Jan 17 '12 at 13:22

Try Wunderlist - it's got all of the features you're asking. Lifehacker called it The Best To-Do App for Linux. The main page doesn't have the Linux client download link. It's on the about page (64-bit tarball or 32-bit tarball).

Disclosure: I'm friends with some of 6Wunderkiner managers.

Yep, it's candidate #1 so far. There's only two things I don't like about it: the way task details are managed (not hard to do an expand feature) and heavyweight. But that's ok, there's nothing perfect. – Denys S. Jan 16 '12 at 11:20

Toodledo integrates with various other applications, as noted above. In addition to the toodledo web site, I use it with Appigo ToDo on the iPad and iPhone. For quick task entry I use Launchbar to send new ToDo items (through Twitter), which lets you take advantage of quickly adding todo items with priority, due-dates, tags, to folders, etc. You can also just use Twitter directly to send tasks, or send tasks via email.

ToodleDo has a notes feature to associate notes (notebooks) with tasks.

Try Any.Do, apart from everything you want, it also has the ability to drag and drop tasks to organize them.

If you have a webserver then MyTinyTodo is a solid piece of open source software that does all that. It is pretty simple to set up -- unzip in a web server directory and run the setup script. SQLite is an option so there is no need for a separate database. Works great, costs nothing. There is also a flag to get it formatted for mobile (add "/?pda" to the end of the URL).

I started using MyTinyTodo for my company, a services business with three people (we share one to see who is working on what, and when things are due); then I set up another one for myself personally; then one up for my wife, one for my mom . . . and then I decided to set up a site so people without a webserver can get an instance without asking me.

So if you don't have your own webserver or just want to check it out before installing, you can get an instance at nanotodo.com. Disclaimer: I set up and run nanotodo.com.

There's lots of options available, a search for "task list application" or "to do app" or something like it will turn up many.

I'm pretty happy with Remember the Milk (http://www.rmilk.com). I use access via web browser, iPhone app, Android app. I think it is easy to use (in all the different flavors of UI I use) and definitely cross platform. In the browser app, you've got pretty much full control with keyboard shortcuts if you want them.

It does not do sub-tasks directly, although the tag system allows you to set up a proxy for sub-tasks pretty easily. Notes are easy to use and very flexible, you can hold a huge number of notes if you want.

Remember the Milk is free, with limited sync to multiple platforms. There's a pro version (which I subscribe to) which gives me unlimited sync to iPod Touch and Kindle Fire.

It tends to be my standard answer: Toodledo (No, friends there or shares ;-) )

In combination with TaskUnifier which is a desktop implementation that works under Linux and Windows. Probably, Mac aswell.

Toodledo also nicely integrates by data API to smartphone tools. On my iPhone, I am using the excellent "Pocket Informant" calendar which has a fantastic to-do section. – Torben Gundtofte-Bruun Jan 18 '12 at 13:52
