It seems like you're looking for an outliner? Workflowy might fit your needs: https://workflowy.com/

Like others have said, the perfect to-do list is impossible because each person wants wildly different functionality.

My dream to-do list has minimal interaction, with the details handled like I have my own personal secretary. All I'd do is verbally say something like "remind me to do laundry later" and it would do the rest: Categorizing, organizing, prioritizing, scheduling and adding sub-tasks as needed.

I love the idea of automatic sub-tasks created at level which helps with your particular procrastination level. For example "do laundry" would add in "gather clothes, bring to laundry room, separate colors, add to washer, set timer, add to dryer, set timer, get clothes, fold clothes, put away, reschedule in a week (but hide until then). Maybe it's even add in Pomodoro timers to help.

LLMs with reasoning might get us there soon - we've been waiting for Knowledge Navigator like assistants for years.



This is the sort of thing I like trying to make llms do, thanks for the idea. I have a discord bot set up already that sends notifications and accepts notes; I will try adding some endpoints and burning some credits I have to see how hard it is to make AI talk to alarm endpoints in a smart way, etc
