Oh, and we use Asana still for bigger project stuff.

Hmm, that has potential. I might give that a go.

Asana has the best free options of any product that I know. You can do a LOT with their free option.

I set up a Kanban-like structure in Joplin

I've used Jira and Asana. I liked Asana more. I also tried out Workflowy which @scottalanmiller hates. I liked it.

Sounds like you need a project management system. I don't know if it works well, but open project is FOSS. And might do what you need.

Workflowy

I don't hate it as a product, I simply don't have time to sign up for a product from a website that doesn't even tell you what the product you are signing up for is. If they don't believe in it, I sure am not going to test it.

I used Trello some, and maybe that is the issue; but I don’t like the layout or flow.

But- it could be that I haven’t used it enough

So our needs for this is pretty minor, but we use Zoho Connect and Zoho Mail (which has a tasks system) for this since we are a Zoho shop. The most popular tool with our customers for this is Jira.

I've worked with JIRA, and it is oriented heavily around software development. They've bolted on some non development task tracking, but it isn't well done like most bolted on solutions.

Migrating email solutions isn't an option at this point

Just use a kanban board for yourself in Jira. Never has to be software dev related.

There is a simple task board in NextCloud, too. Kanban style.

I'm using the Microsoft To-Do app since I have an Office 365 subscription. This links with your tasks in Outlook, but I'm going to the dedicated webpage in my O365 portal. Then using the app on my cell when on the go. I was using Google Keep before To-Do, but now Keep is used for my personal tasks and notes to keep them separate.

My group uses a tool called Kanboard. We've used Microsoft planner also which is ok I guess. We are moving over to VersionOne. Zoho sprints is also a decent tracking tool as well.

Also Kanboard has a featureful API and webhooks to integrate with other systems.

Another vote for Kanboard or Trello

Thanks for all the input. I'll be taking a look at these things.
