Our verdict on Errands
Errands is a free, open-source desktop app for organizing personal tasks, aimed at people who want straightforward to-do lists on Linux. It supports creating, editing, removing, and completing tasks and subtasks, and lets users manage multiple lists. Drag-and-drop organization and task accent colors add ways to arrange and distinguish items without changing the app’s simple focus. It is officially supported on Linux and distributed as a Flatpak.
Sync is a central part of Errands’ appeal for users who keep task data with Nextcloud or another CalDAV provider. The project notes that Nextcloud is the provider known to work well, so users considering another CalDAV service should account for that qualification. The app can also import .ics files, which offers a route for bringing in calendar-format data. These capabilities make it a fit for Linux users who want personal task lists connected to an existing CalDAV setup, rather than a broader cross-platform task service.
Errands is free, with no paid tiers to weigh against its feature set. Its scope and platform support are the main trade-offs: it is a Linux desktop app, and Flatpak is the only officially supported format. Support is community-based, which may be less suitable for users who need direct vendor assistance. Choose Errands for a simple, open-source list manager with subtasks and CalDAV synchronization on Linux; look elsewhere if you need officially supported platforms beyond Linux or a different distribution format.
