I want a to-do list app that syncs from a json file (or other human-readable data format), so that I can view and modify the file (via a CLI like jq) from my computer too, and it would still reflect on my phone when it syncs.

Does this exist? Preferably it uses a format simple enough that makes it possible / easy to modify it via jq.

    Subtasks, for sure. Those are part of the basic syntax, e.g.:

    * TODO Lunch
** DONE Spaghetti
** TODO Tomato sauce
** TODO Serve it

    Properly dependent tasks, though, I doubt you’ll find much tooling outside of Emacs’ org-depend. At the very least, I’m pretty sure Orgzly doesn’t implement a UI/logic for it.

    But I don’t have a use-case for dependent tasks (beyond subtasks and rough ordering), so haven’t actually looked into it.
