Programmers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development. It's 100% free, no registration required.

What is some good software for a developer to use to organize his or her tasks? I am looking for a todo list with just a few bells and whistles for subtasks, etc.

I want to use this just for myself. It isn't for the whole team.

Try kanbantool. The best to organize work and have everything under control. – user43021 Dec 14 '11 at 15:27

Trello and AgileZen are the two I use.

would you mind expanding a bit on what each of these resources have and why do you recommend these as answering the question asked? "Link-only answers" are not quite welcome at Stack Exchange – gnat Mar 31 at 2:30

I use a personal kanban.

This is an extremely simple method of personal organization based on concepts just as simple.

I have one for each context.

As we use FogBugz as our bug tracking solution, I keep my to-dos in a separate project within FogBugz. This way, the time I spend on them is included in FogBugz's scheduling and should simple to-dos eventually become work items, they are already right there in the system.

By the way, FogBugz on demand is free for start-ups of two developers.

I use Emacs with org-mode. Simple, with some bells and whistles. Also, if you know Emacs-Lisp you could also implement any sort of feature that is not already available that you would like. Essentially it is just a plain text system. You could also modify and tweak the system to your liking fairly easily.
