On ticktick you can make a task like “cook dinner at 6pm” and it will auto set the reminder to be at 6pm.

I’d love that for tasks.org but like you said I can maybe implement it sever side :)

I love tasks.org on Android but God I wish they’d add some NLP to parse out times. That’s the one thing I miss from other apps. IIRC The issue in GitHub basically says that there isn’t an easy library to do it with right now.

It’s so annoying to me that I’m considering trying to make a server side app to do this. Just pull the caldav and parse the titles and set the due date. Can’t be that hard right?

It also helps a lot if you set the IP/domain manually so it doesn’t always have to talk to the relay first.

TIL there is a nice 3rd party MacOS client https://github.com/sannidhyaroy/Soduto
