To Do List

I am looking for a simple standalone to do list (like reminderfox for example) that I can install both on my Laptop (Windows 7) and my Android phone that will Sync between the two. Just like Google Sheets and Docs syncs. ie when I change something in Docs on my Laptop it also changes (via wifi) on my phone.

Thanking you in advance

Also to use popup messages to remind me rather than go into the program and check for reminders.

I tried Wunderlist, but changed to ToDoist later. Evernote was way too complicated fo me.

Try GTOTasks: TinjaSoft

A great app with lots of features except popup reminders.

It is my "short list" must-have app. It syncs with Google Tasks (on your Google Calendar).

For complicated lists/details, I use Evernote.

'Google Keep' does what you ask. You can also archive notes you want to retain but not use on a daily basis.

Well I've discovered the answer albeit at the price of selling my soul to Google.
First: Install Google Calendar on both devices. Then anything put into Calendar on the Laptop automatically syncs to the Mobile. I'm yet to figure out how to sync my Mobile to the Laptop but I live in hope.
Second: Install a program called " Checker Plus for Calendar" on your Laptop. This installs an icon in the notification bar which gives a pop-up when something is due. Clicking on the icon also brings up Calendar. Now, how to get pop-ups on the Mobile.
Third: Install the Google Now Launcher on your Mobile and use it instead of your Mobile Launcher. The first item that appears is Agenda with today's appointments/tasks. At the bottom of this it says " Show full agenda" which shows, as you would expect, your full agenda. Simples!

It'll auto sync, just like Laptop>Mobile.

Thanks for the 2nd and 3rd tips. I'm going to have a look at those.
