Self-Hosted version of TickTick (alien.top)

Wondering what the closest thing to a to-do task manager like TickTick would be? I don't necessarily need deep google calendar integration, but a task to-do app that has a similar clean / practical interface, bonus points if cross-platform possibilities like having an iphone app? Thanks!

I couldn't find one that suited me, so I continued using TickTick. I tried very hard to like Vikunja, which is probably the closest alternative to TickTick, but the lack of an iPhone/iPad app, among a few other issues, drove me back. I didn't like using the right column to set task attributes. In my view, it requires too many clicks to set up a task with start/end times, effort levels, etc. This is especially painful on the phone. Another feature I missed in Vikunja was the drag-and-drop functionality that TickTick offers.

Hadn't heard of that, seems like a very promising app. Hope they continue to develop it more.
