While all Things are fine when you use Apple devices, unfortunately other platforms are (currently?) not supported.
“To Do list” software should be represented on all (mayor) operating systems.

Trello is a task management system that organizes projects around boards. In one glance, you can see what's being worked on, who's working on what, and where something is in a process.The card-based design makes it easy to visually understand your project,...

I cannot stand that you're unable to actually "close out" tickets. All you can do is archive them but never truly mark them as complete.
