Has anyone transitioned from to-do list apps to using SB as a full-blown replacement? Does it work well for you? Are there any missing features, like notifications?
If you haven’t, does anyone know of any open-source to-do apps? Almost every app on the Play Store requires payment to unlock all features, which is really annoying.
Thank you!

I haven’t even tried because I really need notifications and lots of them because of my ADHD.
For apps, I think the best open source one is [Tasks.org](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.tasks)

There are definitely a few of us that use SilverBullet for tasks, but I’m not sure how many are using it as their _only_ todo app.
If you haven’t already, take a look at these threads for inspiration:
- [Migrating from Obsidian-Tasks](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/migrating-from-obsidian-tasks/292)
- [Better Tasks](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/better-tasks/744)
- [How I manage tasks](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/how-i-manage-tasks/641)
I think the biggest missing feature is what you already mentioned, notifications. It should be possible to add some sort of notifications using space-script or at least in a plug, but I haven’t seen anyone do that yet other than the ICS integration in one of those threads.

I am using SilverBullet exclusively as my to-do app since the 1st day I found about it.
I personally don’t need notifications for my tasks, what i need is to have a daily process to go through them, so I am aware of their state.
If i need something at a specific time (and not a due date), that for me is more a calendar entry/event than a task/todo

I use Silverbullet as the center for both knowledge management and the task management.
Some tweaks are need for me to get comfortable like what is documented in [Obsidian like tasks](https://community.silverbullet.md/t/migrating-from-obsidian-tasks/292) but afterwards it is totally enough for me.
Curiously though I also have strong ADHD but I don’t need the notification so it works fine for me. To me I just visit Silverbullet everytime I feel bored / nothing to do and it works fine for me.

I’ve been using it for to-dos. I have a bash script that runs every minute on a note in my space and checks each line for a date/time. If the date/time in the line matches the current date/time, it sends me a notification with that line to my phone using NTFY. Works well for the most part.
